The IRS pulled in $3.18 for each dollar spent auditing the top 1%, and $6.29 for the top 0.1%.

There’s one reason and one reason only the GOP wants to defund the IRS: to protect their wealthy mega-donors.

All in all, the GOP’s IRS cuts will cost $40 billion in lost revenue.

@rbreich they could just stop auditing the lower 50%.
That would help with equality and that ROI is probably not worth it in the first place.
@jandamm @rbreich Or just give folks a pass on the first $100,000/yr of side hustle income.
