With Tax Evasion Rising Among the Wealthy, the IRS is Conducting Fewer Audits According to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Charles Rettig, the United States fails to collect $1 trillion in taxes every single year. That’s more than the GDP of at least 179 countries. With that in mind, one might hope the agency is cracking down on tax evaders. But new research from Syracuse University says high earners face far less scrutiny today than they did just a few years ago. One might say, “shocker.” Roughly 99% of taxes on wages are paid straight to the IRS, something most people know all too well because they’ve seen their paystubs.

Before anyone tells me I need to quit my job, it is with a company that has one of the better reputations in gender relations – I just work in IT(Also in school, hoping to move on and up with time). Dealing with harassment/sexism is essentially a job requirement. It isn't possible or practical to report every transgression. I doubt any managers have actually weighed this while contemplating how to force butts into office chairs, though

Sometimes my mind wanders off and I find myself thinking on what could I do to never have to work again. I'm not talking about winning the lottery, just a way to earn a living amount every month, without the need to talk with people I don't like and be stressed all week…
