Tax Problems

Given the recent revelations of the lack of payments, the IRS should audit everyone in government and everyone doing business with the government.

The Bush administration made sure that wouldn't happen. In 2006 they "cut the jobs of 157 of the agency’s 345 estate tax lawyers, plus 17 support personnel, in less than 70 days." "to shield people with political connections and complex tax-avoidance devices from thorough audits." They claimed "that the money saved by eliminating the estate tax lawyers would be used to hire revenue agents to audit income tax returns, especially those from people making over $1 million Instead "the number of revenue agents shrank to 12,599 as of Sept. 30, from 12,816 in 2007." With several million people connected to the government it would be impossible to audit all of them and still do their regular audits.
