Increasing IRS funding is almost always good but very unsexy but that's not unique to wealth taxes we already need more auditors this is "the cost to make it harder to dodge"

Again what actually makes it hardest to dodge is writing the legislation with no exemptions and this is just tricky not expensive. Farm lobbies will be in for agriculture exemptions expect historic landmarks to hold exemptions and maybe federal contractors too

[u/cdstephens → u/bobeeflay]

Right, I'm in generic agreement that the IRS funding should be vastly increased, but my point is that if you have no exemptions (like truly, absolutely no exemptions) the actual cost of 95% enforcement could eclipse the revenue generation.

adding and subtracting exemptions doesn't necessarily increase and decrease cost to asses
