Cant imagine making 30 k a year and having to pay even 1600 in taxes. This is saying it will increase that much.

What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

Unless you’re a business owner or otherwise have wildly unorthodox taxes you’ll be grabbed by a computer automatically. If your money comes from an employer or investments(and plenty of other sources) it’s all electronically sent to the IRS.
The IRS employees are needed more for people that own multiple businesses and do shady deductions. It’s much easier to claim the same deduction multiple times for the same expense that way and it’s harder to track it across tax entities.
