The IRS has said it won't increase audits on households earning less than $400,000 annually.

Going after rich tax cheats is one of those bipartisan policies that only Republican politicians and their rich donors oppose. Fund the IRS and make these rich assholes pay their fair shares!

Fund the IRS

You can't fund the IRS. The IRS is a government agency. And those are awful. Watch, I'll prove it:

starves agency of funds for years

See? They suck. They can barely function. Time to make more cuts in the name of fiscal responsibility!

see also: EPA, USPS, ED, HHS, DOT, DOL, FCC, FTC, etc.

I get the republicans are rich and tax cheats. But do you really think only Republicans are going to oppose it? No rich democrats ever cheated on their taxes?
