 Have you ever fudged
your taxes a little bit?
Maybe you inflated a
deduction by a few bucks, decided to underreport your
income, or took advantage of a tax credit you weren’t really
entitled to.
Should you have to live in fear of the IRS just because you
didn’t do things the right way? We’ve all made mistakes and
we’ve all taken shortcuts to get things we want.
The IRS spent nearly $6.4
BILLION (yes,
BILLION) dollars in 2005 on enforcement activities alone.
That goes up almost 8% in 2006, to $6.9 billion.
Most of that money is spent finding and auditing returns
from prior years.
"I
think a system which forces people underground and into the
shadows of our society,
...is a system that needs to be changed." -

OUR
PROPOSAL
Ever heard the expression
“don’t throw good money after bad”? Well that’s exactly what
the IRS enforcement is. It’s a losing proposition and the
prospect of an IRS audit deters tax cheats about as much as
the death penalty deters murderers.
 It’s time for CHANGE. It’s
time for REFORM. It’s time to WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN. Here’s
how it would work:
- We immediately stop
all new IRS audits of prior year returns.
- Anyone who cheated
on a prior year return can register with a
database*. Registering your return will acknowledge
your commitment to comply with the law for all
future filings. Your penalty for cheating is
determined by the length of time that has passed
since filing your fraudulent return:
- Under 3 years --
Cheaters must pay a $1,000 fine, attend a tax
preparation education series, and undergo a
background check. In addition, they are put into a
probationary program where their returns will be
singled out for audit for five consecutive years. If
they file clean returns for each of those five years
then they receive earned-amnesty.
- 3 to 5 years --
Cheaters must pay a $500 fine and are enrolled in
the probationary program for three years.
- 5 or more years --
Full and immediate amnesty.
-
Starting with tax year
2006, the number of IRS auditors will be doubled and
the entire enforcement budget will be used to select,
investigate, and audit new returns.
FROM 2006 ON, NO ONE WILL
DARE CHEAT THE IRS BECAUSE THEY WILL, WITHOUT A DOUBT, BE
CAUGHT. TAX COMPLIANCE AND REVENUE WILL SKYROCKET, ERASING
OUR NATIONAL DEBT IN JUST YEARS. LET’S FORGIVE THE PAST SO
WE CAN GUARANTEE A BETTER FUTURE FOR OUR CHILDREN.
*The database will be built
and maintained by an independent company. Each person who
registers would be assigned a unique ID that would interface
with the IRS database. The IRS would not have direct access
to this database and it would not be used for any future
enforcement purposes.
