During the 2015 filing season, John Oliver, the host of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight” argued on the program that the IRS is not only a necessary agency with a difficult job to do but is also a smart investment of public money.  Oliver makes some great (and funny) points about why the IRS budget should be increased rather than decreased.  The whole segment is imbedded below.

Enjoy.
