Republicans want to defund the (tax) police
Under Biden, the IRS budget was significantly increased a couple years ago. Part of that increase was to fund the policing of tax returns, especially among the wealthy. According to Charles Rettig, an IRS commissioner appointed by Trump, the United States is losing $1 trillion in unpaid taxes every year. In the last two years, the IRS recovered ca. $4.7 billion in unpaid taxes from rich tax cheats.
Funding for the IRS budget increase was cut in the recent continuing resolution passed by the GOP House. After Trump’s inauguration, the IRS will be a paper tiger in enforcing honest tax returns from the wealthy.
