How is cutting the budget of the people who *collect the money* (the IRS) a way to solve budget problems?

HOW.

Someone explain it.

@futurebird Plus which, with fewer resources to collect and audit, the IRS administrators will prioritize low-hanging fruit, the cases that are easiest to collect on: not the rich, or big businesses because they have lawyers and like to string cases out; but middle class and low-income taxpayers and small businesses, who can’t afford lawyers.
@pattonadams @futurebird Which will lead to those people supporting further cuts to the IRS in the hopes that it will make it too weak to come after them
