What aggravates me is the conjunction of two news stories:
- the NYTimes report on the Trump family's shenanigans to avoid taxes and evade rules.
- a recent report noting the decline in IRS tax audits since 2010 because Republicans keep cutting the budget. The Times report uses the Manafort and Cohen pleas as the hook. When you Google "decline in IRS tax audits" you get a lot of reports from the spring, around tax time.
To my mind these are just examples of a much bigger phenomenon, a phenomenon which can be summed up in the old saying: "them as has gets". Turns out Jimmy Lunceford and his band recorded the song. As did the Andrews Sisters, It's written by Gene de Paul and Don Raye.
