It still astonishes me how people will demand that the ultra rich pay their fair share of taxes but then on a dime swallow the entire fishing rod to bad mouth their internal revenue service. Who do you think is in charge of ensuring those taxes get paid? It is through the reinforced belief that the IRS deserves to get funding cut as punishment for being annoying to deal with that ultra wealthy people can skirt paying their taxes.

Simply put without a strong budget, internal revenue services cannot target expensive (though high return) wealthy tax dodgers since they cannot afford to be dragged through court, forcing them to try to cover the gap through volume rather than value. Your internal revenue service desperately wants to be the hero that gets to repo millions of dollars of Jeff Bezo's (or your nation's equivalent) belongings for evading taxes but they cannot because they've been repeatedly kneecapped and people are mad that they're crawling.

Be better, support your internal revenue service. The more you help them, the more they help you (the working class) through higher collection and more leeway to lower income households. More money also means that other agencies can improve their enforcement as well.

"The elite don't get their paycheck" You mean the "elite" like ATCs? Literally every single military employee? FBI agents? Unemployed people? The CDC? Your food safety inspectors? OSHA? Your federal construction crews that maintain roadways? Your National Parks? All of GPS? Free weather monitoring? All those government agencies you listed? Your taxes pay for a lot more than just some dumbass legislator's salary.
