The oligarchs couldn't give a shit since they're immune to paying taxes. Is it just pandering to the libertarians lol?

I mean I'm all for it, at least in the States not in general, not that it'll pass. I guess it puts the Democrats in the hilarious situation of having to defend an institution that 99% of the time only attacks people barely scraping by again. That won't look out of touch at all.

Mix that with the earlier threats of the IRS coming after people making like 600 dollars a year online, you have a really good platform to attack the Dems on.

    They're not getting rid of the IRS. They're trying to further degrade the IRS' ability to go after rich people, so that it only targets the poor.

      Well I mean that's what they do now though, I dont see how giving them less money will somehow make them more effective

        They still occasionally audit the rich and that makes Republicans very mad. There was also some increase in staffing or like a proposal to increase staffing recently, so they have been screaming about the IRS a lot lately.

        So yeah, they want to make a bad thing worse, news at 11.
