worked celebs, politicians, judges, huge corps for over 30 years. Have been retired for 10 and I still can't mention by name who I worked with. Huge integrity by the workforce when I was there. The biggest scandal when I was there was when some management folks did a Star Trek parody on their iPhone for a training course.
As far as trump sicing the IRS on folks that is going to be hard observe. Mostly, people are private with their tax matters so we may never know the full extent of who trump is going after.
Rich people can afford to pay, and if they are doing normal income stuff, the audits may not amount to much. Besides they have their accountants and lawyers to handle stuff. OTOH, If they are changing the tax algorithm to go after folks, medium income and poor folks are going to be snared into this change and they have a harder time coming up with the money.
And if they go after failure to file and failure to pay people like they did with Hunter but more systemically. Then all those jailed folks could provide the labor force that will be absent when they kick out the immigrants.
