Congress has in fact defunded the IRS slowly but surely for years. Audits have dropped precipitously. I had a routine audit of a small nonprofit in 2013 that lasted for years because of staff shortages. The poor agent was helpless. I actually felt sorry for him.
Remember when you could deduct credit card interest, real estate taxes, medical expenses, mortgage interest, etc.?? … all gone. The system is far “flatter” now than ever.
