(FROM THE ARTICLE: Monday evening, Republican Bailey rallied supporters in Glen Ellyn with former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who recently renounced her party and now is popular among conservative Republicans. With one week before the election, Gabbard warned that the country was at a “dangerous place to be in — we have a government that is of, by and for the elites.” “Darren literally is of the people,” she told the crowd of over 300 at Abbington Distinctive Banquets. “He’s a farmer who cares for the community. He cares for his people, he cares for the future, just like every one of you.”)

— IRS finds number of unpaid taxes rises, fueling growth of ‘tax gap’ – AUSTIN DENEAN (COMMENT: I worked for GAO on audits of IRS’s efforts to close the tax gap for 3 years.

https://foxillinois.com/irs-finds-number-of-unpaid-taxes-rises-fueling-growth-of-tax-gap-internal-revenue-service-audits-income-charles-rettig-inflation-reduction-act-treasury-department
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The gap between the amount of taxes paid and what was owed by existing tax law increased by over $58 billion, according to the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS released its new estimates on the “tax gap” on Friday, which found the difference grew to $496 billion from tax years 2014-2016, up from $438 billion in the previous three-year estimate. “These findings underscore the importance of ensuring fairness in our nation’s tax system,” IRS commissioner Chuck Rettig said in a statement. “The increase in the tax gap estimates reflects that the IRS needs to do more, both in improving taxpayer service as well as working to improve tax compliance.” The IRS said its estimate may not capture the full extent of possible noncompliance due to limited data on some sources on incomes, digital assets and offshore bank accounts. Nearly $400 billion of the gross tax gap is attributed to underreporting, or the amount of taxes owed being understated on a filed return.)
