Instead, those who are most likely to evade detection are the people trying to hide their income in tax shelters, shifting their profits overseas, exaggerating their business deductions, or overvaluing their charitable donations. Are we supposed to applaud that?

The article from Slate discusses former President Donald Trump's potential plans for his cabinet should he win the 2024 election, focusing on his interest in appointing individuals who align closely with his political views and objectives.

This move is seen as part of a broader effort to ensure that the bureaucracy aligns with Trump's vision, potentially reshaping government operations to be more in line with his administration's goals. The article also touches on the implications of such appointments, suggesting a potential for increased politicization of government agencies.
