John,
Donald Trump’s latest attack on the IRS is a billionaire tax cheat’s dream come true. His administration is actively FIRING thousands of IRS workers, the very people who catch ultra-rich tax cheats. And that’s just the beginning.[1]
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just revealed Trump’s ultimate goal: to completely abolish the IRS.[2]
Even before Trump’s nominee to run the IRS is confirmed by the Senate, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) is leading mass firings at the IRS, gutting enforcement against billionaire tax cheats and ensuring the ultra-wealthy can evade paying taxes with zero consequences. With thousands of IRS jobs already on the chopping block, Trump is taking us back to the days when millionaires were audited LESS than working-class families.
We cannot let Trump dismantle tax enforcement and turn our government into a playground for the rich. Donate now to help us fight back against Trump’s war on the IRS!
The consequences of these attacks are devastating. After investments made through the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, the IRS collected $86 billion in revenue through increased tax enforcement.[3] But now, Trump is making it easier for billionaires to game the system.
We must fight back. If Trump succeeds in abolishing the IRS, it will become nearly impossible to hold the wealthy accountable for paying what they owe. That’s because there will be fewer audits of billionaires and more loopholes for billion-dollar corporations. And that means less revenue for healthcare, infrastructure, and other public services.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. Make a donation now to help us defend the IRS and stop Trump’s billionaire-backed tax scam.
