I'm sure you've seen teams that have bad leadership / a culture of dysfunction. They're always asking for more headcount and no much how much you add they don't get any better. I assume parent was pointing out that no matter how many resources you give to the IRS they won't get functionally better. You need to change the leadership/incentives/culture, which is hard with govt agencies but resources also won't make the problem go away.
I simply don't agree that the issues faced are the same; published reports detail how the complexities inherent to high-income non-filers and filers alike leave plenty of room for more accurate assessments. [0][1]
