Summary
The IRS announced it has recovered $4.7 billion in back taxes and criminal proceeds since receiving $80 billion in funding through the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
This includes $1.3 billion from wealthy tax dodgers and $2.9 billion from criminal investigations.
Despite these gains, the IRS faces funding cuts: $1.4 billion was rescinded earlier, and $20 billion is frozen or redirected under recent budget deals.
Republicans, under a new majority, aim to further reduce IRS funding and renew Trump-era tax cuts. Trump has nominated Billy Long as the next IRS commissioner, drawing criticism from Democrats.
The concept of money is theft, taxation is how the money-printing thugs keep it from inflating itself out of existence.
It sure doesn’t seem to be working because it’s still costing more and more all the time. So they’re printing it faster than they’re taking it away. But that’s not surprising since the government doesn’t tax itself.
