Is this considered a political issue?

Question

The IRS is hiring private debt collection companies to go after people who have avoided paying taxes. The information that will be given to these companies may cause identity theft or other problems. How can I relate this to a political issue about distribution of wealth or something similar? And if not then can you list some current political issues

Answer 1

The IRS (under Mr. BooOOsh) will go after John Q. Public for the back-taxes and will avoid at all costs going after the massive corporations that pad their campaigns.

Answer 2

its a complicated issue the private companies will be allowed access to privileged information on private citizens who when filling out their w-2 1099 and w9 form are expecting a certain amount of security when divulging such privilege information such as social security numbers ,address and children's ages in the home all which are to be maintained in a high security format and under governmental control by allowing out side agency's to have access to this information is a direct assault on our rights to privacy from prying eyes and also opens up the question why would the government want to take such a risk with our intimate details we need to stop that from happening.period.it is unconstitutional and unamerican

Answer 3

Yes it can be political if it gets enuf attention. Actually its political anyway bcuz who wants a private collection agency to collect taxes. I saw this story on the news. The funny part is they wont even be going after the worse offenders, people who hide millions. They will primarliy be focused on people who make less than 100k annually.

Answer 4

Well, it is the intersection of law enforcement and corporate practice. While law enforcement personnel are theoretically under some safeguards regarding how information will be maintained, it's much harder to control private sector uses of that information.
