Thousands of millionaires haven’t filed tax returns for years, IRS says
wapo.st
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.

Obvious the rich didn't pay tax at all, evade the most time possible to paid it or use tricks to pay the most less posible, it's a classic, the middle and low class are the ones which pay the majority of tax and in time, it's the way capitalism work.
The funny thing it's how some people are proud of paying tax while the rich didn't pay a fuck LMAO.
The Republicans have long had a strategy of requiring the IRS to heavily audit use of the earned income tax credit for the poor, while starving it for resources, so that it couldn't audit the richest.
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.
I believe this it's more about the 1% VS the 99% instead of the left vs the right.
The Republicans openly favor the 1%, which is a big difference between the parties
Yeah but both are owned by the 1%
The Democrats very much less so; a big chunk of their coalition is the labor unions who are outside that demographic.
They just like to play the role, at the end both parties work for the elite. They love money and they are capable of do anything for it.
Obviously they are not so open about it, there should remain the illusion of choice.
The Democrats are a coalition, and not every coalition member is on board with downward redistribution, but a big chunk are, and it has a history of showing in the policies they implement.
Well, in the policies they would totally implement if just enough of them didn't block them.
This one is a great example:
Asking. They don't ask regular people.
Sending a letter is the first thing they do when you haven't filed. No matter who.
The main point of a fascist regime it's it didn't look like a fascist regime at all, that's why it's so important for the 1% who control the regime to keep the illusion of choice, people will keep having hope(having hope it's important for the human nature) of a better future at both sides(left and right) but the reality it's the system will be working for the 1% behind the curtains.
Both parties will keep "working" in different directions in apparience while the elite agenda it's slowly pushed thought the population distracted by the illusion of choice.
That's just silly. We've got one fascist party and one moderate party (with some actual leftists as part of their coalition)
There's a world of difference between how the two would govern
You look it from the point of the illusion of choice, the fact it's there is no choice.
Let me put it this way:
Imagine that the world is a chess board, left and right are the pieces on the board (politicians), the colors are the ideologies (right or left, white or black, good or bad), apparently that's all what is there but you are forgetting the most important thing, Who invented the rules of the game? Who made the board and the pieces? Who sold you that game as something you need and how much did you pay for it?
The people behind the curtains are experts in mass manipulation, they are experts in distracting the population and creating the illusion of choice, in fact they don't even have to be in the public eye and be famous for that. it's the last thing they want.
They control the intelligence agencies around the world and the largest technology companies today, they have specialists analyzing the data collected from people's use of the Internet, they control the mass media as well as the social networks that most people use.
Do you really think that the most powerful person in the world is the president of the United States? That only happens in movies.
It’s kind of ironic how you give an example of black and white, with no grey area, and then immediately demonstrate black and white thinking,
Are there some politicians who solely work as a paid agents of billionaire lobbyist groups? Sure.
Do all politicians work together harmoniously with the sole purpose of capitulating to some unnamed ‘they’? Unlikely.
Are both sides the same? Demonstrably not.
The truth is that the world is complex and there are a lot of moving parts. There is no unified force ‘behind the curtain’. Any conspiracy as large as you suggest requires too many people to be ‘in on it’ and working together.
Then don't even try bro. Don't vote, don't work on campaigns. Hey don't even go on forums to talk about how fucked the system is. Because it's all fucked. Just don't. That's your motto here.
TBH I'm just here as a hobby, business are going pretty fine and I don't even get paid to poison de "AI".
I only do it for the love of art.
