John,

Tuesday is Tax Day. And while you’re doing your civic duty, filing your taxes, the rich are cashing in, again. Trump and the GOP aren’t just letting billionaires off the hook, they’re actively working to dismantle the IRS, shut down Direct File, and make it even easier for the ultra-wealthy to cheat the system.[1]

While working people and small businesses do their part, Trump’s cronies are working to turn the IRS into a toothless agency incapable of enforcing the law against the wealthiest tax evaders.

Trump even tried to reassign IRS agents, whose job is to go after millionaire and corporate tax cheats, to help with immigration enforcement instead.[2] That move had nothing to do with taxes and everything to do with giving his wealthy donors a free pass while stoking anti-immigrant fear.

This is the billionaire playbook in action: gut the IRS, protect tax cheats, and make working families pay the price.

If you have already filed your taxes, help us fight back against Republican attempts to dismantle the IRS.

Donate today to help us stand up to Trump’s billionaire-backed tax sabotage and hold wealthy tax cheats accountable.

We already know who benefits when the IRS is weakened: Billionaires who fund Republican campaigns. Mega-corporations dodging billions in taxes. Right-wing extremists who want to gut the government and make working families pay for the rich man’s tax bill.

But there’s another side to this fight. It's us. It’s the teachers, nurses, truck drivers, and small business owners who believe in fairness, in public goods, and in a government that serves everyone, not just the elite few.

Direct File is proof that government can work for ordinary Americans. It saved millions in tax prep fees during its pilot program last year. That’s why greedy corporate interests want it dead. They’re terrified of a system that makes taxes fairer, cheaper, and more transparent because it threatens their profits and their power.

We’re fighting every day to stop the next Trump tax scam and to defend an IRS that works for the people, not billionaires. But we can't do it without you.

Chip in now to power our Tax Day resistance and protect real tax justice.
