We all knew this would happen. That idiot biden, his handlers and the rat little people followers, lied their asses off. This is 3rd world dictator shit.
Typical lying democrats.
"As of last summer, 63% of new audits targeted taxpayers with income of less than $200,000," reports the Journal. "Only a small overall share reached the very highest earners, while 80% of audits covered filers earning less than $1 million."
Compare these real-world outcomes with the assurances of the IRS, given less than two years ago.
Empty assurances: "These resources are absolutely not about increasing audit scrutiny on small businesses or middle-income Americans. As we've been planning, our investment of these enforcement resources is designed around the Department of the Treasury's directive that audit rates will not rise relative to recent years for households making under $400,000," wrote IRS commissioner Charles Rettig in an August 2022 letter to concerned senators.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was a bit sassier. "Contrary to the misinformation from opponents of this legislation, small business or households earning $400,000 per year or less will not see an increase in the chances that they are audited," she wrote in a letter to Rettig.

“We needed 87,000 additional armed IRS agents to go after the top 5% who keep CPAs in business. Not for the $2 million/year total sales family-owned LLC with 10 employees trying to make a payroll, pay for college, help pay benefits for their loyal employees, and own a home.”
Democrats in these situations believe this bullshit. I hope they are the first with liens placed on properties because they do their own taxes, but really, unless you’re not filing at all, you should be able to be trusted by the government you’re paying for to leave you alone and not pry to find a crime.
They were never going after their largest donors. The middle class and small businesses are the biggest threat to any authoritarian government like Biden’s. COVID shutdowns and which businesses were closed are an obvious example of how Democrats view all but government workers, welfare recipients, and global corporations that donate massively to the UniParty. Add in mostly unskilled illegal aliens now too and the Social Security numbers that are given to them. Modern day slavery along with human (and child) trafficking and Dems are enthusiastic about it now that their lying denials of it not happening have been exposed.
Chuck’s Chowder Cafe doesn’t fit into future plans whether he’s a MAGAt or a Leftist Useful Idiot.
It's hard to figure out how any journalist or college educated person would run with this. Unless we can compare this to the percentage of new audits on various income categories in prior years, which is not offered, this is pretty fucking meaningless.
”87,000 armed IRS agents”
Ah, it’s been a while since I’ve heard that dog whistle.
It was removed from the bill.
20,000 added last year.
Just like an authoritarian Leftist to want more tax collectors in government, however. You didn’t disappoint there, Fidel.

Meanwhile, some here are astonished that 63% of audits are still performed on 96% of the population.

Just defending logic here, Mildred.
Bridge too far?
You’re so boring.
Is that what the girls are calling their obsessions now?

The imagery of 20,000 IRS secret police agents storming Ma and Pa Kettle’s house in Kansas with a SWAT team to take another $500 from them is compelling, I know.
So you’re in favor of taxpayers paying the salaries of 20,000 more IRS agents. See, that was easy, you Leftist.
