Republicans Have Taken a Brave Stand in Defense of Tax Cheats

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, for instance, merely offered that “throwing billions more taxpayer dollars at the IRS will only hurt Americans struggling to recover after waves of devastating lockdowns” and that “Instead of increasing funding for the IRS, we should abolish the damn place.” Again, the people currently not being audited are the wealthiest Americans who endured a year of lockdowns just fine, but thanks, Ted.

Rob Portman, the GOP senator from Ohio, announced that the bipartisan infrastructure package that lawmakers have been haggling over for months would not include a proposal to raise revenue by boosting funding for the Internal Revenue Service. The deal’s original outline would have provided $40 billion to help the agency collect more of the taxes that Americans fail to pay each year. But after a rebellion by conservative activist groups, Republicans got cold feet about the idea. Now, they have officially nixed it.

IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig testified earlier this year that the government may be failing to collect more than $1 trillion of the taxes it is owed annually, up from the previous official estimate of $441 billion per year.

Republicans have showed their core philosophy when it comes to taxes. The party doesn’t just believe taxes should be low. They believe paying them should be optional.

In the late 1990s, Republicans held an explosive series of hearings in which IRS agents were accused of committing grotesque abuses against taxpayers and engaging in “gestapo-like tactics.” Many of the stories turned out to be simply untrue, as a report by the General Accountability Office later revealed. One crucial witness, who among other things claimed tax agents had raided his restaurant at gunpoint and knocked his 12-year-old son to the floor, was forced to recant his story when it fell apart during a lawsuit. But the hearings led to a major 1998 reform bill that reorganized the IRS and limited its enforcement tactics.

Tea Party groups accused the IRS of singling them out for politically motivated audits. The accusations generated an enormous, years-long scandal that embedded itself into conservative lore. It also turned out to be wholly untrue—a Treasury Department report eventually revealed that the IRS had been scrutinizing both progressive and conservative groups over potential tax violations. But the GOP used it as an excuse to eviscerate the IRS’ budget.

When Biden* was president, Democrats raised taxes on the middle class and gave it to the poor.

And he who is not sufficiently courageous to defend his soul — don’t let him be proud of his ‘progressive’ views, and don’t let him boast that he is an academician or a people’s artist, a distinguished figure or a general. Let him say to himself: I am a part of the herd and a coward. It’s all the same to me as long as I’m fed and kept warm.

I'm doing a killer photoshop job on the high quality pages I managed to find.

But a book this cringe only comes around once a generation and needs to be fully parodied.

I'm not going to buy it though.

You are bothered by, and I am quoting you on the child credit:

Quote:
4. It lowered the caps on income by A LOT. Instead of the cap being at $400,000 for married couples, it's only $150,000 now. A lot less people are going to get this credit next year, and they will be the ones subsidizing this for the most part.

How many people make more than $150,000 in every US state? According to the US Census Bureau, only 5.5% of West Virginia households make over $150,000, while 21.3% of New Jerseyans earn at least that much.

6ix, you are the same as every Trumptard I know. When you can find a way, you cheat on taxes. When you can't find a way, you bitch and moan.

6ix, you are the same as every Trumptard I know. When you can find a way, you cheat on taxes. When you can't find a way, you bitch and moan.

Prime example of 2 + 2 = 5.

I have no kids. Even if I did, I'm so far below $150,000 income that the change wouldn't have negatively impacted me anyhow.

Furthermore, I'm wondering if you consider the Child Tax Credit "cheating". That seems to be what you're insinuating.

Prime example of 2 + 2 = 5: When the IRS started requiring Social Security numbers for each child getting a tax credit, 7,000,000 "children" vanished from America. The worst kidnapping wave in history? Hardly. The thought of being caught was enough to stop at least part of the cheating. 2 + 2 = 5: The IRS did not even have to check the Social Security numbers and file millions of lawsuits to collect $billions in unpaid taxes.

6ix said the topic is:

Quote:

I showed 6ix with figures and references that he is WRONG and I proved that:
When Trump was president, Republicans raised taxes on the middle class and gave it to the rich.

6ix won't admit he is wrong. Characteristically, Trumptards cannot correct themselves. Because they can't, life is a long struggle for them since conmen and businessmen know how to outwit them by stealth-fully taking away their money when they make purchases and sign contracts and are hired for jobs that are dull and often routine, with a narrow path for a few of them to a better job.
