So where are all those fake democrats complaining that Biden's funding the IRS is just going to have them go after small businesses and the lower/middle classes?

How's that go? Gaslight, obstruct, project? lol

The IRS overwhelmingly go after poor people as they don’t have the means to defend themselves and end up settling out of desperation.

I’m sure after they get more money they’ll totally change though lol

Applejacks where you at buddy?

False dichotomy. They can go for a big, easy target as well as little peeps. Monitoring $600 transactions kind of shows they're not just interested in big guys.

Right? It's so silly that they think it's an all or nothing process. Then again, it's the internet lmfao.

How about we uphold that the law and taxes are for ALL people, not just rich or poor. We have graduated/progressive tax brackets for a reason. Everyone should be paying their fair share.
