  1. Because all the party leaders commit tax fraud on a regular basis and don’t want to be held accountable for it.

  4. It would also defund the tax police, making it easier for rich people to shortchange Uncle Sam.

    At least 25,000 millionaires haven’t filed tax returns at all since 2017.

  5. the wealthier they get the more cost effective a properly funded IRS is

  6. The GOP can’t have the IRS coming for the billionaires they serve.

  7. AH yes let us fire the tax collector so we can go Private yes no need to pay taxes the government seems to run on broken promises and backroom deals the money is just for show

  8. Well duh their buyers can’t be paying taxes and be held accountable for what they owe.

  9. Defunding the IRS is part of the Republican party’s effort to destroy the US government by defunding it. Republicans are doing Russia’s work.

  10. I could see the GOP privatizing tax collection so only the non wealthy are forced to pay.

  11. Al Copon went to jail for tax evasion.
    Republicans are trying to protect someone.

  12. No they didn’t. According to the article they are trying to. WaPo is getting super clickbaity.

  13. Its like they are painting thier hands red at this point.

  14. Remember that Right-Wingers who cheer this on (on behalf of the billionaire donors they carry water for)..

    They love love love the tax money they receive for their preferred program/benefit.

    The “thin blue line” cop who retired after 20 years on the job who now receives a cushy pension for the rest of his life, leeching off the rest of us who slave away til 65.

    The rural Right-Winger that has multiple [Federally funded airports](https://eliseforcongress.com/2022/05/09/informnny-essential-air-service-to-continue-in-ogdensburg-plattsburgh/) in their district.

    Your shitty Hannity obsessed brother in law on SSI? Keep those checks coming.

    The “I hate big government” rube whose economically barren district is propped up by a massive Lockheed Martin contract building shit the Pentagon doesn’t even want.

    The “free market!” moralizer who happily accepts [huge checks](https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/14/donald-trump-coronavirus-farmer-bailouts-359932) from the Federal government.

    On and on.

    All this money flow originating from tax money is justified and should continue. The money, however, that flows to those *:wink wink:* “inner city” people? Defund the IRS and starve the beast!!
