About 125,000 notices will be sent to high-income earners, including 25,000 people with income more than $1 million, the tax agency said

This is who the Republican party’s complaints about the IRS are intended to protect.

    Obvious the rich didn’t pay tax at all, evade the most time possible to paid it or use tricks to pay the most less posible, it’s a classic, the middle and low class are the ones which pay the majority of tax and in time, it’s the way capitalism work.

    The funny thing it’s how some people are proud of paying tax while the rich didn’t pay a fuck LMAO.

      The Republicans have long had a strategy of requiring the IRS to heavily audit use of the earned income tax credit for the poor, while starving it for resources, so that it couldn’t audit the richest.

      The Inflation Reduction Act the Democrats passed a couple years back gave the IRS money to actually go after the wealthy, which is what we’re seeing here.

              The Democrats very much less so; a big chunk of their coalition is the labor unions who are outside that demographic.

                They just like to play the role, at the end both parties work for the elite. They love money and they are capable of do anything for it.

                Obviously they are not so open about it, there should remain the illusion of choice.

                  The Democrats are a coalition, and not every coalition member is on board with downward redistribution, but a big chunk are, and it has a history of showing in the policies they implement.

                    Well, in the policies they would totally implement if just enough of them didn’t block them.

                    The main point of a fascist regime it’s it didn’t look like a fascist regime at all, that’s why it’s so important for the 1% who control the regime to keep the illusion of choice, people will keep having hope(having hope it’s important for the human nature) of a better future at both sides(left and right) but the reality it’s the system will be working for the 1% behind the curtains.

                    Both parties will keep “working” in different directions in apparience while the elite agenda it’s slowly pushed thought the population distracted by the illusion of choice.
