Poor people can’t afford lawyers to fight back.
Rich people can.
ErgotErgo, they aim at poor people way more often.- kpw ( @kpw@kbin.social ) 12•10 months ago
The Pentagon is not some rich dude with lawyers.

The military also doesn’t make any revenue probably.

Oh it does, just for private entities.

Yeah not my fault its a badly considered meme.
I was just responding to the second half.
The IRS isn’t in charge of auditing the Pentagon, congress is.

Not sure what grain fungus has to do with it

Well, they are pretty clearly tripping, so maybe grain fungus has more to do with it than we realize.

USA is an empire based on the strongest military in the world. Of course DoD has green light for everything. Or you believe that european countries/japan follow the american interests against their own for good will?

May I introduce you to our lemmy instance? Sending over $600 without the IRS feeling up on you, lol.
I don’t condone tax evasion, but I do oppose mass surveillance and firmly believe “innocent until proven guilty”. The biggest tax evaders are large corpos and megachurches anyway.

Here are some resources to counter this misinformation.

Thank you. I keep seeing memes like this but have never heard of anyone I know actually getting audited. I only got audited once when I completely forgot to include the income from a place I worked for a couple weeks, which is fair (and probably automated on their end considering they would’ve sent their withholding information to the IRS anyways)
- DrPop ( @DrPop@lemmy.one ) 1•10 months ago
Yes that process is basically automated. It’s actually called The Automated Underreporter.

The only certainties are death and taxes, but I’m still waiting on both to catch up with me.
- ivanafterall ( @ivanafterall@kbin.social ) 3•10 months ago
Fyi, if the IRS thinks you are dead, they stop coming after the taxes. I’m not totally clear on the legalities of it, though.
- TWeaK ( @TWeaK@lemm.ee ) English1•10 months ago
Yeah that’s what I was thinking, potentially only one of them could win the race!
