According to IRS documents, more than 1,000 taxpayers who earned more than one million dollars per year failed to file tax returns for at least one year between 2017 and 2022. Collectively, the 2,000 biggest tax cheats owe more than 900 million dollars in back taxes. Meanwhile, the IRS disproportionately audits middle and working class Americans. This is mostly because Republican Congresses in the past have denied the agency the resources it needs to match the legal resources available to upper class tax cheats.
Republicans claim the IRS is coming after the middle class. What they don't tell you is they are the reason for the disparity and it is costing the government billions of dollars of lost revenue every year. If we had a media which really cared about publishing inconvenient truths, more people would know the falsity of Republican claims on this and many other issues where they claim with no validity the party is for the working class.
