OP talks about policing high net-worth individuals and organizations, causing most of the taxation headaches.

You’re shifting the discussion to organizations being political, hoping it becomes a divisive topic.

A well-worn and sleazy playbook to dodge any discussion of a problem that has exceeded the tipping point.

Actually no. Did you notice I’m criticizing both administrations?

The similarity to ICE funding is about the misuse of agencies as places to stock resources for your party.

The article suggests that a bunch of IRS people got cut. The missing context is the bunch that got added at the end of the Biden administration. Without considering the 2022 bill, we can’t tell the delta.

That would be pretending to be above politics while making moves with obvious political impact.
