Lol that living in a post scarcity world is entirely possible for parts of the planet but that would make a completely made up number go DOWN!!!!!!!!

Also the other parts of the planet would probably be a subjugated invisible underclass used to supply resources to the rest of the planet but it's not like that would be different from how it is now or anything.

We live in a global post scarcity world where everyone can have all their needs met. The only limitation is distribution and redesigning things to last longer with the best materials we can produce en mass. Anything you can imagine there's a way for us to do it better without profit.

How can that kind of info be behind just a single number that is not exactly top secret?

Doesn't IRS have some kind of centralized online account for citizens where you authenticate to handle your tax stuff and this would be in there?

Or how do you handle your taxes?

Handle your tax stuff online through the IRS? But then how would intuit and others make all their money?

Lots of government websites have relatively low “security”; like when I register to vote I just have to use my drivers license # and some other easy details— no passwords

It does (there's a box that pops up saying only the taxpayer or an authorized Power of Attorney is legally allowed to access the information, so the landlord is admitting to a Federal crime, which is very smart).

homie broke federal law that’s unauthorized access to taxpayer records which they take v seriously at the IRS. I’m a cpa and have to call fairly often and they do not just let you get access to taxpayer records without a power of attorney.

my man had to click through this:

Most of it doesn't have 1FA. A scam that still exists but has been somewhat mitigated recently is simply filing someone else's tax returns, putting in fake info and receiving a huge refund. There is no authentication of any difficulty to bypass and by the time the real person figures out what happened, you're long gone and they're on the hook for the money stolen. There have been recent mitigations to prevent this but not by default and it's still a problem.

Oh yeah, that's several years in prison and/or a few thousand dollars of fines for just accessing this dude alone and if this guy had any professional credentials WRT tax that's those gone for a while, and the IRS has no sense of humor about this kind of thing. Hopefully whoever got accessed narcs on this guy.

Which usually means they'll pursue only the most slam-dunk cases, for example someone dumb enough to confess in writing.

They admitted recently that they don't have money to go after rich people anymore because rich people have lawyers and require complex forensic accounting investigations so they pretty much only go after poor people now since they're easier.

Working as intended.

My favorite thing is how you have to enter a Special Magic Number that you come up with yourself to prove your e-file "signature" is yours. The number can be different between years and is not authenticated against anything or checked in any way, it's just "think of a number you like and write it down".

They also can't go after huge multinational companies anymore because Congress curtailed their investigative powers after lobbying from Microsoft, a company under investigation.

Friendly reminder that Charles Rettig was a high-priced tax attorney that represented high net wealth clients and businesses before the IRS, CA FTB, etc. for decades and will inevitably go back to his lucrative private practice after his stint as IRS Commissioner, so he's only doing what he can to protect his money spigot.

Mr. Fain has collected an average of $12,000,000 a year in compensation each year for the last 6 years for a total of approximately $72,000,000. He earned $12,422,715 in 2018, $13,343,413 in 2017, $10,405,684 in 2016, $9,388,569 in 2016 and $12,013,878 in 2015.

In the beginning of April, Mr. Fain announced that he was forgoing six months (through the end of September) of his $1,100,000 base salary which turns out to be around $550,000. This may see like a substantial amount of money, but it is only around 3.5% of his compensation last year. Mr. Fain received around $13,100,000 of his compensation in stock awards, incentive plans compensation, increases in his pension plan and other compensation.

The White House picked CEO Fain to be one of three cruise executives on President Trump’s “Great American Economic Revival” industry group.
