The IRS said it stopped sending letters to people who didn’t file their tax returns, when the agency was strapped for funds. Now it’s going after the money.

About 125,000 notices will be sent to high-income earners, including 25,000 people with income more than $1 million, the tax agency said

This is who the Republican party’s complaints about the IRS are intended to protect.

    The Inflation Reduction Act the Democrats passed a couple years back gave the IRS money to actually go after the wealthy, which is what we’re seeing here.

    And of course the goddamn scum of the earth propagandists screamed “the Democrats are funding the IRS to COME AFTER YOU!!” And we now have a talking point about how the IRS needs to be defunded to “protect the little guy.” It’s so disgusting… I hate these people so much.

      Every story we’ve seen on the news in the last 50 years about an “overzealous IRS harrassing the little guy” has been complete bullshit propped up by conservatives and their capitalist buddies.
