There is no scenario where taxes are not being paid.

The only way for the IRS to recover money is for people to have not paid the taxes they owe. Likely on accident, but still.

By definition, taxes were not paid.

To borrow the analogy once more, informing them the property line is acktchually a few yards away from what both the general public, the authorities, and the attourneys all believed it was, discovered through an exhaustive and expensive effort to ensure every single person ever in the jurisdiction isn’t overstepping the property line, resulting from what was an effort to ensure habitual, egregious trespassers were dealt sirh

And this is a bad thing how? Now we know where the property line is and we have more security/police to remind people to stay off it. Who would be angry at that? The property line didn't change, it just got clarified.

will only serve to rile people up.

I'm going to put this bluntly: fuck em. Pay your taxes. The only people mad at this are people who support tax evasion, which is a large amount of people.

You're mad about paying taxes? Fuck you, pay your taxes. It makes my life worse when your greed steals money from our government.
