The historic Inflation Reduction Act signed into law by President Biden allocates $80 billion to the IRS -- money that will go towards operational and technology updates, improving customer service, and increased enforcement of ultra-rich criminal tax cheats who make up a large share of the $600 billion of income that goes under-reported each year.

This overhaul of the IRS will help level the playing field and create a more equitable tax system, so of course Republicans are lying about it.

Republican politicians and right-wing activists are peddling conspiracy theories of armed IRS agents targeting working-class taxpayers and small business owners. They’re doing this to hide the fact that increased enforcement will primarily target ultra-wealthy criminal tax cheats, many of whom are their donors, like Robert Brockman, who was charged with allegedly running a $2 billion tax fraud scheme, and individuals like Allen Weisselberg, the Chief Financial Officer of the Trump Organization who just pled guilty to 15 counts of tax evasion.

Democrats need to start fighting back ASAP. They need to go on the offensive and call out Republicans for protecting wealthy tax-evading criminals. It’s time to aggressively tell the truth to the American public - Republican politicians want their rich donors to be able to get away with breaking the law. It’s why they defunded the IRS in the first place, and it’s why they’re lying about it now..

Join us in demanding Democrats punch back hard, and make the case to the American people that wealthy tax criminals shouldn’t be above the law.
