the irs. but the irs is the government's big profit center, every dollar spent on irs enforcement actually makes money for the federal government. here is how the acting irs commissioner explained that to house republicans last month, when he was hopelessly asking for an increase in the irs budget. >> we have asked for kind of an increase on the enforcement budget of $412 million that would yield more than $1.6 billion in annual enforcement revenue, which is a return on investment of 6 dollars returned for every one dollar invested. >> but if you want an even better return than 600% you can aim even more enforcement resources at the giant corporations can giant tax returns or giant pots of money owed to the government.
