Abstract
The tax code, at present, affords great discretion to the IRS in enforcing its individual provisions. This discretion contributes to distrust among taxpayers, bureaucratic inefficiency, and waste. By allocating funding for specific tax programs, Congress can restore trust, streamline the tax process, and make wiser use of taxpayer dollars.
