A friend's friend's girlfriend recently informed me that butt-chugging was ubiquitous at her college and the administration had to tell people to please stop doing it so much. Imagine the grinding of teeth as, after yet another hospitalization, the dean finally accepted they were going to have to make an announcement on the subject.

Broscience is a term used for fitness stuff, and the evangelists of it are "brofessors" It's how you hear weird superstitions and myths about the exact ratio of carbs one should be eating that have no basis in any sort of actual science.

Now that's some serious BWM on a national level, "saving" money by on tax enforcement while the resulting fraud results in more lost revenue than the original budget savings. The US has one of the (if not the highest) highest tax compliance rates in the developed world, it's entirely possible that it won't make much difference and that spending more money to chase the relative few scofflaws would not realize a net increase in revenues.

Is that that at the margin? Or is it "We currently spend $X on enforcement and collect $Y revenue, and Y/X = 25"? I'm thinking it's the latter, because only about 2% of the revenue the IRS collects each year comes from enforcement actions.

Inept posted:Isn't that a lot of loving money though? Sure, but it's a question of what happens at the margin, not the full amount. US's tax voluntary tax compliance rate is something like 83%. US enforcement actions result in a net compliance rate of 85%, an increase of 2%. Enforcement actions generate ~2% of the revenues. Individual income taxes revenue for FY2017 were $1.58 trillion, so that's about 32 billion dollars. IRS enforcement budget in 2016 was $4.7 billion (not sure what it was in 2017, but probably not hugely different). 2% of IRS revenues is definitely significant, but it doesn't mean that if you double the enforcement budget spend $9.4 billion on enforcement that you'd thereby double what you'd collect. That's why I asked about what the marginal effect is. If we spend all the money on enforcement that we're spending today, plus one more dollar, how much more revenue do we get?

https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-tax/irs-funding-cuts-compromise-taxpayer-service-and-weaken-enforcementquote:As a result of cuts, the IRS is conducting fewer audits overall and fewer audits of high-income taxpayers and businesses. In 2010, it audited 1.1 percent of individual returns; in 2015, it audited only 0.8 percent, the lowest level in a decade.[19] The IRS audited 1.2 million taxpayers in 2015 — 13,700 fewer than in 2014 and over 350,000 below 2010.[20] This represents a 22 percent drop. Audits recovered about 30 percent ($30 billion) less in revenue in the past five years than in the prior five years.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-tax/irs-funding-cuts-compromise-taxpayer-service-and-weaken-enforcement Thanks. I won't dispute that figure, because I don't have anything better and it's not incredible, but I do have to point out that that is a pretty dishonest cite (Not on your part, on the author of that article). If you follow the citation, it's to prepared remarks of an IRS Commissioner's speech to the American Institute of CPAs. The full text of the remarks is here: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/prepared-remarks-of-commissioner-koskinen-before-the-aicpa Here's the direct quote: quote:These numbers show that when you have fewer employees doing compliance work, you end up leaving tax revenue on the table. In cutting the IRS budget, the government is forgoing billions just to achieve budget savings of a few hundred million dollars, since we estimate that every $1 invested in the IRS produces $4 in revenue. Some estimates are even higher. No one in all my hearings and private meetings on Capitol Hill has ever disagreed with our assertion that if you give us $1, you will get at least $4 back. Nonetheless, the IRS’s budget continues to be cut. Koskinen's figure is a general figure, it's not limited to tax enforcement. I don't dispute his general point (or anything anyone here's said, for that matter - another place IRS cuts hurt revenue collected is by reducing voluntary compliance in the first place, since people who can't get their questions answered in a reasonable amount of time are more likely to just not file), but this quote doesn't say what CBPP says it says.

Rick Rickshaw is quickly taking over as the worst poster in this thread. Comes in guns a blazing with some really boring self-posting/humblebragging and follows up with some nice, light misogyny and biotruth nonsense. Fantastic start. https://www.reddit.com/r/ProRevenge/comments/7nxjgh/guy_quit_his_job_thinking_he_became_rich/ quote:Hey new to reddit..i thought i would post my story here. I work for a construction company and we do remodeling on homes. We have a rule here that we get to keep anything we find hidden behind the walls. We hired this guy (we really needed a worker badly) who was a total a-hole from day one. Ive been working for this company for 5 years and this guy has only been doing construction for 1 year after he got fired from his accounting job for getting a dui. Anyways..he would always make fun of my clothes and my accent and one day he went too far by telling my boss about my private instagram account pics. He got on my phone and looked through my instagram page and showed my boss pictures of me smoking weed. ( little did he know that my boss is my friend from 8 years when we used to smoke together before we both quit) i was so mad that he violated my privacy then i made a plan to gently caress him over. He was the kind of guy who would always come in late and complain that trains or traffic is why he was always late. One day i over heard him saying that if he won the lottery he would quit this job for not getting the "respect" he deserves. (You have to earn your respect here.) One day i bought some fake gold coins online and i put them in a metal box i found at the antique store and waited for a chance to hide it in a wall. Luckly i did not have to wait long. The day he found the coins it seemed like it was his best day ever. First thing he did when he opened the box.. he called my boss a fing loser and he quit imedietly on the spot. He said" f this place..im rich"... Lol.. little did he know was that, that was the best day of my life. After he quit my boss told us that he was going to fire him anyways for always showing up late...i wish i could see the look on his face when he finds out the gold coins are fake. Best $40 i spent in my life. ( i apologize for my grammar..this just happened today and my addrenaline is pumping hard. Thanks for reading.

What the gently caress is it with essential oils? Met up with one of my husband's friends this christmas, and the wife was talking to me: "Yeah, so I put some essential lavender oil on my 8 month old baby's back, and it turned bright red like, immediately! I felt so bad! Haha!" Uh, you should feel bad. That poo poo is loving poison to babies. And my cousin has on her facebook page that she's a "Young Living" representative selling essential oils, and my neighbor invites me to all of her MLM jewelry "parties" selling fifty cent Chinese earrings for $10. God drat it, I can't escape all of this poo poo now that I am a Fellow Mom. It's awful. Another neighbor sent out a GoFundMe for a friend who's down on his luck to get him tickets to visit his family in Wisconsin. Okay, maybe I can chip in. Oh, wait, no, it's TRAIN tickets, the GoFundMe is for $4000. We didn't spend that much taking our whole family to hawaii, how the gently caress does anyone spend $4k to get to Wisconsin? Nobody donated. Also we asked family not to get much for us or our kid as we don't have much room in our car anyway and she's not going to remember any of it. So they scaled back and only got her few books. Oh no, wait, they didn't, we ended up getting a plastic toy farm and a plastic toy airplane and a plastic toy bus and all of it makes these wonderful noises, and they got me a Keurig single-cup coffee machine because hey, why not make this the most wasteful Christmas ever? And then they also got us a roof rack for our car, so we'd have no excuse not to take all of these presents back with us. AHHHHHH, I love them but AHHHHHHH! Take that money and put it toward your debt so we don't have to support you in your old age!
