Republicans force reduced IRS funding so they can protect rich people and tax cheaters

IRS funding is working. IRS is recovering more money than they are spending. Republicans are not serious about saving government money since they won’t support IRS funding.

As former IRS commissioner John Koskinen has said: “Underfunding the agency is just a tax cut for tax cheats.” People who actually care about the deficit, much less a government that provides valuable services and protections for regular people, would never do this.

An IRS once again cut to the bone won’t have the resources to chase after the billions in taxes owed by the nation’s economic elite. That is the point, and everyone should care.
