Here’s a teaser-go read it, it’s fun:
Surprise! The IRS Found $1 Billion In Missing Tax Money Hidden In The Couch Cushions Of The Rich!
Who would have thought?
The IRS has long been at the top of the list of government agencies Republicans have hoped to abolish or at least defund — both because they believe it discriminates against churches and other Christian nonprofits by refusing to exempt them from the rules about nonpartisanship that all 501(c)(3)s are required to follow in order to maintain their tax-exempt status, and because they believe it discriminates against rich people by expecting them to pay taxes, as if they are peasants or some such.
To be fair, they may be entirely right about the latter!
The IRS — bolstered by funding from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act — reported this week that it collected $1 billion in taxes and penalties from “hundreds of” wealthy households that until now simply didn’t feel like paying their taxes. Hooray!
Now, you may be asking yourself, “Okay … that’s great, but why didn’t they do that before?” Well, that would be because they were criminally underfunded and simply didn’t have the staff and resources available to bother rich people about their taxes. And again, we’ll note that the billion collected so far is just from “hundreds of households.” Even if that were 999 households, they would have owed one million each! (snip-more on the page)

Hi. This shows a big difference between the parties. The democrats are trying to raise revenue to fund the government and help the public. The republicans talk big about wanting to cut the debt, but they refuse to raise revenue and instead insist on letting the country’s infrastructure crumble while they cut help for the public to give what wealth the country has to the wealthy.
