“In fiscal year 2020, the IRS collected almost $3.5 trillion in revenue and processed more than 240 million tax returns. The IRS spent just 35 cents for each $100 it collected in FY 2020. (Source: Table 31, IRS 2020 Data Book).”
Yeah I’m increasingly pro IRS. Taxation is a fundamental part of a functioning society. In a democracy we decide how our taxes contribute to our society. This isn’t like some king got greedy. I may not like Everything about how we spend that money, but I support us collecting what we decide is owed. As I get older and contribute more I support it more.

We should spend more on the IRS. The Israeli government shouldn’t be getting a single cent from the US taxpayer.
