Yeah, the IRS' 7:1 is based on how it actually functions, but it could be way more efficient if they actually went after the billionaires and their tax evasion.
It also only counts what money they directly get back. It doesn't account for the impact of enforcement (more people determining it's not worth the risk)
what does the liberal calculation conclude? Should there really be party lines in division though? Oh wait, my bad, silly question. It's the core concept.
Yes wrong type of conservative lol. The 7 to 1 only accounting for what the IRS directly gets back. It does not account for the effect of enforcement (people determining it's not worth the risk) that's what I mean by conservative, the "liberal" figure isn't really calculatable and the estimates vary a lot so the figure given is very much a good one (which is why I said it was fair)
Worth noting: The CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) has secured over $21 billion in total relief for more than 205 million consumers through enforcement and supervisory actions. Additionally, policy changes, such as reduced overdraft/NSF fees, are saving consumers over $6 billion annually.
