“Most of us hate taxes, and for good reason: They’re legalized muggings to support a government that no decent person would want to fund or empower. Ideally, Congress would dramatically slash taxes, make remaining impositions less intrusive, and cut government to match. But while we got a bit of tax relief in the One Big Beautiful Bill, it did little to cut the expense or reach of the state, nor did it reform the byzantine tax code. The good news is that there are fewer tax collectors to enforce the federal government’s demands now that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has been reduced by a quarter.” (08/01/25)
