“The IRS is a political weapon! They're coming for conservatives!”
What You Say
IRS enforcement funding from the Inflation Reduction Act targeted high-income tax evasion — Treasury data shows audit rates remain lowest for middle-class filers. Every administration faces accusations of bias; the remedy is adequate staffing and oversight, not defunding enforcement so billionaires skip taxes. Project 2025 explicitly calls for shrinking IRS capacity — that's not neutrality, it's amnesty for the wealthy.
The Stab
They defunded audits of the rich and called it freedom.
