@rbreich.bsky.social: “For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”

It’s been a few years since I was in Bible study but I’m pretty sure Jesus didn’t have a flag that stood for stealing the votes of hundreds of thousands of people so billionaires and corporations could keep cheating on their taxes and turn a country into a dictatorship.

McGovern: The Republicans are leveraging the excruciating pain of an international crisis to help rich people who cheat on their taxes. I mean, are you kidding me? Was that hatched at a fundraiser in mar-a-lago? Did some big donor come up and twist somebody's arm pic.twitter.com/PCD1KJYGBR

Don’t let House Republicans tell you they’re fighting for working families when their first priority is a giveaway to the powerful & well connected.
BREAKING: House Republicans have passed their first bill of the new Congress, a bill to protect wealthy tax cheats and let them get away with paying a smaller share than millions of hard-working families.

Letting tax cheats off the hook.

Preparing cuts to Medicare and Social Security.
Laying the groundwork for a nationwide abortion ban.
And Republicans are just getting warmed up.
This isn’t an agenda for workers or families. It’s a recipe for disaster.
Having failed to constrain government spending through the democratic process, Republicans have resorted to aiding and abetting tax evasion. https://t.co/C052VdwMno
