A new @ips-dc.org analysis rates the billionaire Giving Pledge that debuted in 2010 as “unfulfilled, unfulfillable, and not our ticket to a fairer, better future.”

The Giving Pledge was meant to turbocharge philanthropy. Few billionaires got on board.
The world's rich keep getting richer. Few are willing to publicly promise to give away a majority of their wealth.

15 years ago this week, 40 of America's richest signed the Giving Pledge.
Whether the Giving Pledge has been a success depends on whom you ask. What is clear is that the Pledge has lost steam even as the rich have gotten richer.

What many taxpayers may not understand is that the "easy" questions (did you file? did you include all your forms?) can be answered by computers.
The "hard" questions (did you hide income via a maze of offshore companies?) are those that IRS will struggle with following cuts.

Some misguided people suggest that staff cuts at the IRS means they don’t have to worry about filing their taxes because the government won’t notice. Trust me, The IRS does not play. File on time (midnight in your time zone) even if you don’t have all the money you owe.

For the record, trillions were lost, panic gripped Wall Street., Main Street and the globe and all we got were phone calls. And we’re left with high tariffs that are still forecast to reduce growth and boost inflation. Doesn’t seem much like victory to me.
