He won&#8217;t  actually take office until January of 2009. I wanted to make this video  to talk to you about some of the changes that might occur early in his  presidency about IRS problems, and how the IRS actually collects money  from delinquent tax payers.<\/p>\n<p>Although  president elect Obama&#8217;s campaign promise was that, actually there would  be a tax cut for over 95 percent of Americans making 250, 000 dollars  or less, that&#8217;s not what we&#8217;re talking about here. What we&#8217;re actually  talking about here is what the IRS is likely to do about increasing  collections, particularly in the case of an uncertain economy and a  rising deficit.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion the federal  government is very likely to go on a hiring rampage. They&#8217;re actually  done this in the area of border control and the transportation, safety  administration. We&#8217;ve all seen all those people in the airport wearing  those white shirts&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s very  likely the IRS is going to increase their hiring dramatically,  conserving the fact the statistics show that for every dollar paid to  an IRS employee, that employee counts for roughly 50 dollars in  collections. So I think it&#8217;s very likely that the IRS, will  dramatically increase their work force and their ability to collect  delinquent taxes.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to predict  the difference between Republican administrations and Democratic  administrations as far as how they&#8217;re going to handle delinquent tax  payers.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;ve been through several of  these administration changes, these power changes through the course of  my career, and I have a theory that goes something like this:  Republicans tend to lower taxes for all of us but they do their utmost  to collect every single dime of that revenue.<\/p>\n<p>So,  you&#8217;re not going to get a lot of consideration, or you&#8217;re not going to  have a lot of sympathy coming out of IRS employees during a Republican  administration.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, my  theory about Democrats, they have a tendency to raise taxes for  everyone since social programs and the good of society is actually at  their best interest and I&#8217;m not making any characterizations or  judgments about that but Democrats tend to stand for bigger government  and higher revenue and taxes.<\/p>\n<p>But then  they tend to do a little bit less in in the form of collecting those  taxes. I actually think what we&#8217;re going to be facing here is a  paradigm shift. It going to be a real change.<\/p>\n<p>What  we&#8217;re going to have here is a president who believes in government, who  believes in spreading the wealth around, but he&#8217;s also going to do a  whole lot more to collect that wealth than any recent president has  done.<\/p>\n<p>What does the president have to do  with the question of taxes? Well, they actually appoint the secretary  of the treasury to their cabinet and the head of the IRS.<\/p>\n<p>So,  it&#8217;s very likely under an Obama administration that collections will  continue to increase as we&#8217;ve seen in the Bush administration and that  the problem of owing taxes is going to become one that is harder and  harder to deal with on the tax payer level.<\/p>\n<p>If  you&apos;d like some more information about me, My name&apos;s Darrin Mesh by the  way.
