Reject cuts enabling wealthy tax evasion, invest in IRS

The Republican Party's proposed $20 billion cut to the IRS budget would cripple the agency's ability to crack down on wealthy tax cheats and recover billions in unpaid taxes. Cutting funding would be a direct attack on the progress already made, with $1.3 billion recovered from high-income tax evaders. It would allow wealthy individuals and corporations to pocket even more money they owe while leaving working families to shoulder the cost. This move protects Republican donors at the expense of everyday Americans. Instead of dismantling the IRS, we should be investing more resources to ensure the wealthy pay their fair share. I urge you to reject these reckless cuts that only serve to enable tax evasion by the ultra-rich.
