[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 76110354, member: 123415"] Tactical mistake #1: trying to drum up sympathy for the IRS lol ...a branch of government that virtually nobody has a positive perception of. I get it...in order to have a society, taxes are a reality. But when it's framed in such a way as "well, if you don't beef of funding to hire more people for the IRS, then I guess they're just going to have to target lower income folks who are easier to audit" has a tinge mafioso tactics. Especially when a lot of what's in this infrastructure bill isn't a necessity, and nearly half of it isn't even directly related to the nations infrastructure concerns. It'd be like if I said, I want to raise money for the Rob-Fund...to the tune of $1 million dollars. $200k of it will go toward repairing roads and fixing up schools, the other $800k directed toward my political pet projects. Reasonable person: "Hey, I don't think I'm on board with that" Me: "Well, I guess you don't care about roads and schools, then" Doesn't sound like a fair assessment, right? [/QUOTE]
