#2 Going forward, we will take a unified look at the entire web of business entities controlled by a high wealth individual, which will enable us to better assess the risk such arrangements pose to tax compliance and the integrity of our tax system.

No thought given to the fact that "high wealth individuals" may have actually created these evil 'businesses' (which by the way) employ millions of tax paying yea, yea, yea, little people. "Integrity of our tax system" ....ohfirphuechsakeMartha! Willyouturnthatdamnthingoff!

#4 For credibility and to keep travel expenses low the IRS could start with the locals: Congress, Czars, and other GIvernment types who know all the rules and IRS flags.

Rangle, Timmy Geitner, the Kennedy Estate.... would be a great start but I am sure they will be up some Iowa farmers financial a$$ for investing in a Chinese bond fund thru his Edward Jones account.

#5 If they are actually going to go after high wealth tax evaders, then good. But why do I have a feeling that this is just a smoke screen for political warfare?

Tax evasion is a crime, whether it's $1,000 or $100,000,000.
