I am writing to you as a concerned constituent regarding the proposed cuts to the IRS budget. The information from the U.S. Senate Committee on the Budget highlights a critical issue: reducing IRS funding will not only hamper its ability to enforce tax laws against wealthy evaders but also significantly increase our national deficit.
The Congressional Budget Office has repeatedly shown that such cuts would lead to substantial revenue losses and a higher deficit over the next decade. This is counterproductive to our nation's financial health and fairness in tax enforcement.
The IRS plays a vital role in ensuring tax compliance, especially among high-income individuals and corporations. By fully funding the IRS, we can modernize its systems, improve services for all taxpayers, and most importantly, tackle the issue of tax evasion by the wealthy. This is not just a matter of revenue but also of equity and justice.
Diminishing the IRS's capacity will inadvertently shift the tax burden away from those who can afford it to those who can't. It's crucial to maintain, if not increase, IRS funding to preserve the integrity of our tax system and ensure everyone pays their fair share.
As your constituent, I urge you to advocate against these proposed cuts and support full funding for the IRS. Our economic stability and the principle of fairness in our tax system depend on it.
Thank you for considering my views on this important matter.
