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.
I’m not saying the IRS is entirely innocent, but the solution is way more nuanced than just eliminating the entire agency. An audit of a multimillionaire can take years, while an EITC audit is just a letter. The issue there is that the EITC (which is claimed by low income earners) audit should be easy to comply with, but external factors like lack of education or stress make it difficult.
