The IRS Really Is Out To Get You
A recent tweet that flew under the radar for most was posted on May 9th, and it deserves a lot more attention than it got. “Breaking,” said Patrick Webb. “The IRS will now target individuals who threaten the U.S. government’s ‘ability to govern,’ a vague new criterion for criminal investigations.”
This is just the latest in disturbing trends in tax collection. Most people know the agency will be hiring 87,000 new employees over the next decade (although CNN rushes to assure everyone that those aren’t JUST auditing employees – as if that’s what was being claimed).
But Joe Biden assured everyone that only the wealthiest people would be targeted, and that no one making less than $400k would see any new taxes. While the Washington Post rushes to confirm that this is, in fact, true, unfortunately people making around $200,000 a year are facing a majority of audits.
The Left often does this. By embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and ignoring metrics like success and failure, as well as hard work, they punish the qualified.
In the government’s ever evolving pursuit of “equity” nobody wins. After all, it’s in the name of “equity” that those who worked hard and earned a good living on their own could now face more scrutiny from the IRS than someone who, say, relies on and regularly takes government benefits.
