> So you’re a sitting member of congress who is too stupid to fact check the darkest corners of the internet leading to you getting sucked into a dangerous e-cult? Good to know.	[ "\"But in my defense I'm profoundly stupid and gullible.\"", ">\n\nThis has to be the new play for conservatives. Smells exactly like Ginni Thomas recent defense. \n“I heard some people talk about it.”", ">\n\nI love how it’s totally indefensible to be a position of power and use this excuse but still they use it.", ">\n\nExcept it works. It's indefensible to people who are sensible but I guess most people aren't, because they keep getting away with shit like this in every way that matters. \nAccountability is apparently a personal journey and comes from within, because the only time people are held accountable are when they're sincere and volunteer to do it themselves.", ">\n\nShe wouldn’t get away with this in a competitive district. But she represents such a strongly conservative district that it’s impossible for the Republican candidate to lose.", ">\n\nIt's called gerrymandering.", ">\n\nNah. It's northwest Georgia. They'd have to gerrymander it to even make it competitive. Without trying for disrespect to the small amount of well-meaning people trapped there, that place is backwards.", ">\n\nLadies and Gentleman of the jury, I'm just a Caveman. I fell in some ice and later got thawed out by your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me. Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW and run off into the hills or whatever. Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, did little demons get inside and type it? I don't know. My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts.", ">\n\nWow, this is hilarious, I never heard of this sketch until now. Thanks.", ">\n\nHoly shit this is hilarious. And it's \"Mulaney\", but that's probably just your autocorrect.", ">\n\nSo I guess she admits that she’s a gullible conspiracist dumbass who has no place being anywhere near the levers of power", ">\n\n“I’m not crazy, I’m just stupid”", ">\n\nHey man that’s an actual political defense in the 2020s.", ">\n\nAs evidenced by the GOP caucus...", ">\n\nGinny Thomas has entered the chat", ">\n\nBut she wasn't serious. She got carried away...", ">\n\nSo I guess she admits that she’s a gullible conspiracist dumbass who has no place being anywhere near the levers of power", ">\n\n“I’m not crazy, I’m just stupid”", ">\n\nHey man that’s an actual political defense in the 2020s.", ">\n\nSounds like she hired a PR manager. The amount of times she’s doubled down on insane, I highly doubt she’s suddenly been struck sane.", ">\n\nWhat this means is that she really does intend to be Trump's running mate", ">\n\nOh dear God in heaven almighty. Knee jerk reaction to that is simultaneously excitement at the self-destructive clusterfuck that would be and throwing up in my mouth a little bit from the inevitable horror of the daily news that would create.", ">\n\nYou just know she’s willing to give him a blowjob to be on the ticket, too", ">\n\nYou could have chosen kindness, you know.", ">\n\nNope, straight violence.", ">\n\n\"I only said what I said to get elected, and now that I got elected I do not believe what I said, but I'll say it again if you're still stupid and want me to say it come the next election.\" - Republicans everywhere.", ">\n\nHonestly that statement is literally the best defense they can offer which is absolutely hilarious. I would say a majority of Republicans elected officials KNOW/knew they were repeating lies and conspiracies but went along with them anyway.\nSure some of them might have been tricked into believing it but that’s almost a worse admission. \nSo they either have to admit they believed lies told by others or they never believed the lies but said them anyway to get elected.\nI’m going to go with MOST of them including MTG knowing Qanon was lies but she went along with them to get elected.", ">\n\n95% of them don’t believe the nonsense they are spouting. A lot of them are highly educated and just evil people", ">\n\nBro\nTrump wasn't even a republican, mf ran as a Democrat the first time", ">\n\nDoes that mean there are no Jewish space lasers?", ">\n\nWho told her about the Death Star of David anyway? Well, as long as she doesn’t find out about the GayRay®, we can still move forward as planned.", ">\n\nHey did anyone get their Soros bucks yet? I'm still waiting on a check.", ">\n\nNot yet, but I was told when it comes there would be a bonus for each child I put on puberty blockers.", ">\n\nScrew that, I went ahead and drained the adrenochrome from my nephew for the big bucks!", ">\n\nAdrenofirefox is the real conspiracy", ">\n\nUnforgivable. To have the capacity to be hoodwinked by such conspiratorial bullshit is proof she doesn't have the mental fortitude to hold office.", ">\n\nRight? She's also not really admitting anything specific - to truly apologize and be remorseful she should explain what it was she specifically believed and why she is repudiating that belief. Otherwise she can still deny believing any individual parts or concepts specifically related to Q-Anon when asked and take no responsibility.", ">\n\nIt's part of why this makes me nervous... She just gets to oopsies her way out of giving a megaphone to conspiracy theories without disavowing any specific theories.\nThis give the qult another layer of doublethink: anything that turns out to be demonstrably crazy, they can just shrug and say \"well, ya win some; ya lose some,\" without every caring how their lack of critical thinking is hurting the country.", ">\n\n100%. She isn't sorry at all. She is simply saying it given that whacko \"group\" lost and is dwindling by the day back into their shadows. Had it panned out, she'd be the drum major with a baton. What she did isn't a \"Damn, sorry, I forgot to realize I need an itemized receipt on my expense reports\".", ">\n\nShe thinks (or her staff) that she's becoming a bigger player in the Republican Congress. She was a major part of brokering the deal with the Freedom Caucus and McCarthy's camp (which was like 90%+ of the GOP). If you watched a lot of the shots of McCarthy's voting rounds, she was stationed next to McCarthy for a very long portion of that whole saga. He was actually conversing with her.\nShe knows if she wants to aim for a Senate seat one day (which knowing how stupid she is ... she's probably day-dreaming about as it is), she needs the votes of moderate Republicans, and she's just putting herself in a position where its easer to gravitate towards power.\nShe didn't change her mind on anything, other than a better strategy to climb the political ranks. Its scary, if anything.", ">\n\nYes, you made my point in a better way. It's scary to allow these people to say literally anything, and then get to walk it back. Remember when misspelling potato or yelling \"BYAHHHHHH\" on stage was enough for people to remember and cast aside?", ">\n\nUltra MAGAs have tossed her aside. She needs to try to cultivate the less insane wingnuts to maintain her viability", ">\n\nShes safe either way. She could still win her district if she claimed to be God incarnate and every single voter for her had to let her piss on them. Long as she got that R next to her name shes got nothing to worry about.", ">\n\nNo\nNo\nFuck off\nYou do not get to just “oopsie poopsie!” that away like it was some fad.\nYou supported a coup attempt, not rocked frosted tips", ">\n\nWorld: The last inhabited area of the world is about to go down because of climate change you wouldn't let us address. Why did you do this to us?\nConservatives: Oopsie Poopsie.", ">\n\nConservatives: Why are you so mean!!!! We are suffering the consuquences of our actions too and are therefore victims!", ">\n\nLike she tripped and fell into the shit? And didn’t double down on it repeatedly?", ">\n\nShe trip, fell, and landed on her CrossFit buddy’s dick?", ">\n\nAlright Shady, maybe he's right Grady.", ">\n\n\"hahaha I saw some funny memes and became a traitor but now I'm chilling out. Forgive? K thx.\"", ">\n\nTo be fair, haven’t we all at one time believed that Jews are changing the climate with lasers in space? It’s an easy mistake to make.", ">\n\nI just figured it was assumed ever since they took out Atlantis.", ">\n\nThat makes her a follower not a leader.", ">\n\nTrue story. But she lost a lot of support in her district in the midterms. Went from 75 percent of the vote in 2020 to 65 percent in 2022.\nHer district was redrawn a bit, but she's still coming into this Congress with a significantly weakened mandate. That will hopefully moderate the excessively bad behavior.", ">\n\nGonna be even lower next term. If she backs away from her authentic character, she has rendered herself the Sarah Palin from Georgia.\nToo bad for her reality Tv and Cable is not as popular as it used to be. Crazy podcasts was all she had. Nobody mainstream is going to accept her.", ">\n\nYeah her and Boebert are definitely going to lose next time. Most people are sick and tired of all the theatrics.", ">\n\nNo no no you sucked others into the Big Lie. You sucked so hard I imagine you could have gotten a golf ball through a garden hose.", ">\n\nI dunno guys. Sounds to me like she's been paid a visit by the Gaspacho.", ">\n\nPlease, Gazpacho is just a virgin bloody mary.", ">\n\nShe is full of shit and should not be let off the hook or validated. She’s a conspiracy theorist and a racist.", ">\n\nShe's moving up the ladder and it is beneficial to her career aspirations to at least appear to be less batshit crazy. She's still the same alt-right troll she's always been, but she's going to attempt to have better public relations moving forward. We'll just have to see she has the discipline to do so.", ">\n\nNarrator: She doesn’t.", ">\n\nThat would be my initial guess as well, but if she's committed and has a good group of handlers it might be possible for her to \"change her image.\" \nShe's getting a comittee spots and is eyeing 2024, either as a dark horse candidate or VP pick. She or the people on her team are least smart enough to realize that \"Jewish Space Lasers\" aren't going to win a national election.", ">\n\nI hear you, but I actually don’t believe they’re smart enough to realize any of that because those sentiments are exactly what drives and animates the supporters backing them. Meaning, none of this is a mistake. It’s conscious, purposeful and genuinely held rage at the various targets at which they take aim. At best, they might make temporary, tactical messaging shifts in keeping with their actions as conmen, grifters and criminals. But their goal—fascist domination—remains the same, IMO.", ">\n\nInsert eye roll here.", ">\n\nI'm so fucking sick of these traitors, insurrectionists, and general scumbags keep getting away with saying and doing whatever the fuck with total impunity.\nwheels of justice move slow...blah,blah,blah..\nThis whole shitshow is gearing up again only this time it won't be a dry run.\nArrest. Trump. Now. And his cadre of Kompromats.\nWhile we still can.\nI swear to God watching absolutely nothing outwardly being done except the same old outrage is worse than Nazis trying to overthrow the Govt.\nStop. Them. Now.", ">\n\nCongresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has more than most to celebrate as the new GOP majority takes power in the House of Representatives, and is doing all she can to engineer a Capitol Hill comeback as a result.\nThe Georgia congresswoman is set to be assigned committee memberships alongside her other Republican and Democratic colleagues in the days ahead, the end to a punishment handed down just a month after she joined the chamber.\nRead the full story", ">\n\n\nand Democratic colleagues\n\nOh yeah I'm sure McCarthy is planning on giving democrats committee memberships", ">\n\nNot committee chairmanships, but the minority party has members in all committees. Usually only one or two fewer members than the majority party, I believe.", ">\n\nIs that a rule or just a 200+ year tradition that no one can enforce?", ">\n\nEven if it is a rule, who will enforce it?", ">\n\nPoliticians like her are gonna walk back all their takes and even supporting Trump. It's all a game, it's all bullshit", ">\n\nI fucking knew it! I could tell she was backing away from her bullshit. She’s been siding with the more distinguished traitors like McCarthy who know how to wield their power and make themselves NOT look crazy on the surface. She’s coaching that new crazy mf’er Santos. He’s full batshit so that we ALL talk about him and make sure his branding sticks. Then, he’ll just make himself seem apart of the “normal” establishment. These fascists have influenced and infiltrated our government successfully and this will only get worse.", ">\n\nWhat a load of junk. If she did then she should resign.", ">\n\nAKA. I'm too stupid to know the difference between reality and Internet memes.", ">\n\nSomeone has been whispering in her ear and has her believing she can be a Senator. She probably has too much batshit baggage at this point, but Georgia nearly elected Walker, who knows?", ">\n\nBullshit. She knew.\nShe catered to Trump’s base as means to both grift and get a modicum of power. And now that she and the rest of the seditionists got what they wanted, she wants to appear reasonable.\nFuck her.", ">\n\nDon't get me wrong. This is, technically speaking, \"progress\". The problem is that my perspective on her intelligence, kindness, and the amount of respect she deserves is so low, she could spend the next 30 years making progress before I would even allow her to pick my clothes out. Yet because of some county full of backwards Georgian asshats that live for the hate and conspiratorial nonsense she spews, she gets to legislate laws and set budgets for the entire fucking country. Jesus fucking Christ. Someone needs to get her dumbass out of Congress at the earliest possible moment, not give her committee assignments. That woman is vile.", ">\n\nBreaking news.....uneducated MTG gets all her information from the internet, and hasn't got the brain cells to decide what's true/false. LOL", ">\n\nShe is so grooming herself to be Trump’s VP pick right now.", ">\n\nRemember when she had herself filmed stalking AOC to her office, yelling like an idiot outside of her door? So that is someone else's fault, huh.", ">\n\nIt’s gonna take more than that to explain Jewish space lasers and gazpacho police", ">\n\nSo either she was an idiot who got sucked in to random shit found on the internet or she tried to play to the conspiracy nutters and get their backing and the found out that those people are the minority and not worth it. Either way she is thicker than cold custard and nowhere near an palatable.", ">\n\nWhich only happens to stupid people.", ">\n\nA person with extremely poor judgment says they have poor judgment, but keeps 6 figured job anyways.", ">\n\nShe's realized the Q crowd turned on her for supporting McCarthy and is pivoting to try to salvage relevance and a career path forward to the next election. That's all this nonsense is from her... she's an opportunist.", ">\n\nShe just sucks", ">\n\nNo. Fuck this. You can’t pull out of crazy now that it doesn’t help you. She needs to go down with this ship.", ">\n\nSo she’s trying to make herself palatable to the wider base as a running mate for 2024.\nAnd those fucken suckers will lap it up because appearance is all that matters to those jerks.", ">\n\nI’ll clean that up for her. “Spreading bat shit crazy conspiracy theories isn’t going to be as beneficial to me anymore so I will be leaning towards alternatives that better benefit myself.”", ">\n\nIf she can be sucked into something as rediculous as that, how easy would it be for her to be manipulated via other channels?", ">\n\nI don't think you should hold a place in power of you're media illiterate", ">\n\nMy God, she's as dumb as a box of rocks.", ">\n\nAt least boxes of rocks don’t spew ani-Semitic conspiracies and baseless claims they see on Facebook", ">\n\nWhat a genuinely terrible fucking person", ">\n\nI wish she’d get sucked into a wood chipper", ">\n\nCriminal stupidity is not a defense.", ">\n\nBut wait, hear me out: Fuck her, regardless of this statement. \nShe's not going to repent. She's just covering her ass.", ">\n\n\"Jwish Space Lasers!!!!\"", ">\n\nDoes that include the dude she used to bang in the parking lot of the gym while her husband was home watching the kids?", ">\n\nThat’s what you say after a weekend-long TVTropes binge, not years of endorsing bigotry and fascism.", ">\n\nBullshit... she's trying to pivot to being more 'moderate' or sane. Probably to run with Trump. That's why she's holding back the crazy.", ">\n\nSome people buy a convertible when they’re having a mid-life crisis other people try to overthrow governments", ">\n\nThe GOP are pulling the curtain back in place.", ">\n\nToo bad there isn't a bot that displays the video of Greene closely following/harassing David Hogg, a student from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, in Parkland, Florida, which had 14 students and 3 staff killed by a gunman. \nVideo is midway down the page at this link.", ">\n\nSo she got the \"stop\" order too. Just like bozobert. Interesting. \nWho gave them the stop order.?", ">\n\nI would find this far more believable if she'd said ; \"I've sucked on some things I'd seen on the internet.\"", ">\n\nI'm getting tired of the folks who won't believe anything on a major news outlet but will parrot any batshit crazy fringe narrative that isn't even internally consistent. That's what they call \"real news\".", ">\n\nIs this where she has an epiphany and realizes she made big mistakes and changes herself to become a better person and do her job properly, justly, and rationally?", ">\n\n“Oops! Im sorry I fall for random bullshit I find on the internet, my bad!”", ">\n\n“I’m a serious person now, and you should take me seriously”", ">\n\nShe still believes all the same shit, she's a liar.\nShe just knows that people don't like nazis, and she's hoping to fit that mask back on.", ">\n\nLike harassing school shooter survivors, Maggie?\nThugs like Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Lauren Boebert, and Mike Rogers are who republicans really are", ">\n\nYou don't come back from gazpacho and space lasers.", ">\n\nEntire country: NO SHIT, SHERLOCK", ">\n\nlmao no. you don’t get to wash that stink off that easily", ">\n\nToo late, damage has been done. Especially for the Sandy hook victims families", ">\n\nControversial statement here... but without giving her too much credit; good for... the people that follow her. They need an example of someone in their circle coming to the conclusion that \"not everything on the Internet is true\"", ">\n\nBull $Hite she is a hard core racist, idiot, insurrection loving leather face who is only reading from a script to help cleanup her image. By next friday she will be back on the hunter Biden's non important laptop and investigating Biden for existing.", ">\n\nUh huh. Not buying it.", ">\n\nShe sucks but this is progress. Is it politically motivated? Probably, but we need to move the conversation back closer to reality and if MTG is willing to sort of do that, I'll take it.", ">\n\nWell all of a sudden somebody wants to be in the leadership of the conference.", ">\n\nThis is probably a hot take for reddit, but we need to be able to give people a path out of radicalism.", ">\n\n.... Is that supposed to make us feel some relief? \"dont worry guys, I'm just so dumb that I unquestionably trusted random mentally deranged people online. I realize that now\" yeah OK", ">\n\nJust like Trump who for several years insisted Obama wasn’t a U.S. citizen, then, just like that - poof - “Of course he is, and I’m running for President”\nThese people make me sick.", ">\n\nAnyone who fell for Quanon is not fit to be in congress imo", ">\n\nIf you believe in dumbass conspiracies on the internet, maybe you shouldn't be in congress and resign?", ">\n\nFuck her she knew what she was doing", ">\n\nWhy the fuck would you vote for someone so easily led!?", ">\n\nSo we should trust her judgment now after she admitted to being an idiot?", ">\n\nShe didn't admit to being an idiot, she's changing her tune so she can be on special committees and make money again", ">\n\nIs MTG evolving before our very eyes? Will she seem downright rational by 2024?", ">\n\nFunny how she says this now, when her own voters are telling her to turn the rhetoric down. Her manipulative, self serving, hypocritical ways are an embarrassment to women.", ">\n\nHow about believing school shooting survivors Is she going to stop harassing them? Apologise for the pain and hurt inflicted on those families?", ">\n\nShe has so many red flags, making decisions using unvetted information on the internet isn't even one of her top 10", ">\n\nOh, now she's admitting it? Now that the writing is on the wall? Fuck her.", ">\n\nWhy does she get to just admit she was wrong and walk off into the sunset? Where are the consequences for pushing destructive malicious lies?", ">\n\nDoes she actually think she has a future in the mainstream of this country’s politics??? Is she trying to pivot as an audition for Trump’s running mate?", ">\n\nShe is now best buds with McCarthy and he probably informed her she needs to reform her image.", ">\n\nF that “I’m normal now” fn bs.", ">\n\nTranslation: I’m a fucking idiot", ">\n\nAll jokes aside, the country is being run by people like this. We joke about it, but it’s really a sad thing to witness.", ">\n\nThis is the lipstick on a pig phase.", ">\n\nBecause she’s a moron.", ">\n\nHaha. Her nose is growing.", ">\n\nShe's an idiot.", ">\n\nAll the resources members of congress have at their disposal… and they can’t just ask someone that works on their staff… hey can you find out if there’s any validity to this batshit stuff so I don’t make an as out of myself for years?", ">\n\nFuck off Marge.", ">\n\nAnd then continued to spew said internet things into politics for years, but now that she’s learned her lesson everything is forgiven. \nNot.", ">\n\nShe’s trying to rebrand, be little miss inside the beltway.", ">\n\nDon’t believe anything she says. Some will say anything and do anything to get what they want. MTG is pure evil.", ">\n\nAh, yes! Just the quality we look for in our elected officials - easily swayed by internet conspiracy theorists! The fact that she is still even allowed to hold office after all this is baffling to me.", ">\n\nSounds like she’s trying to clear the way for a VP nom.", ">\n\nBullshit. She no longer wants the association because it’s not longer politically convenient", ">\n\nDon’t be fooled, she’s trying to rebrand her image based on the deals she made with McCarthy for her vote for him as speaker.", ">\n\nDon’t let her back away from it. Shove it in her face every chance you get. This piece of human trash doesn’t get to just walk away", ">\n\nAnd how do we know you won't get sucked in again? And why wouldn't you admit that during the election?", ">\n\nThat's a lot to take back. How is any reasonable person expected to to regard her with any sense of credibility?", ">\n\nIf you’re sucked in by something so obviously bullshit you have no business being in a leadership position.", ">\n\nSo she admits she is a moron not worthy of holding public office. Glade we agree on something.", ">\n\nShe got sucked into a time machine. She was sent here from the Paleolithic\nEdit: not because she’s ignorant, but because she looks like a caveman", ">\n\nRight... because \"I got fooled by internet conspiracy theories\" is what you want to hear from an elected member of the United States House of Representatives.", ">\n\nOh, sweetheart, no one ever thought you actually believed any of that sh-t.

Whatever one thinks of the man or his politics, Obama has proven on numerous occasions over the years that he can conduct himself with perfect civility and professionalism whenever the situation demands it. \nAccordingly, Trump had no reason to expect that Obama would treat him with any less consideration…and yet he clearly was.\nFollowing their private meeting, Obama invited Trump to sit with him in the Oval Office, where a large group of news photographers rotated in and out to capture the two of them on camera, and a smaller group of reporters tried to get in a few questions. \nObama’s responses tended to focus on the subject matter discussed in the meeting, plus underscoring his commitment to being every bit as good to the incoming president as George W. Bush had been to him eight years earlier.\nTrump, on the other hand, seemed to truly marvel at the fact that Obama was capable of carrying on a ‘normal’ conversation with him. Surprised that he actually wasn’t the weird, over-the-top cartoon villain caricature he had built up in his own mind, and in the minds of others.", ">\n\nIf you can't perform basic critical thinking in determining what's real and what isn't on the internet then you don't need to be making laws for the country.", ">\n\nDidn’t she already make a fake apology over this shit literally a year into politics?

Idiot republicans tried too dump trump too late.\nAny day now expect fox too get back on the trump train.", ">\n\nShe’s saying I want to be on all the choice committees that can persecute the FBI, Fauci, and the January 6th committee.", ">\n\nSounds like the kind of moron that shpuldn't be in government.\nThis is the same one who just recently learned to stop downplaying the holocaust.", ">\n\nThis scumbag will say anything if it advances her agenda", ">\n\n\"I used to be a fucking idiot, but I'm smart now.\"", ">\n\nif you get sucked into lame ass conspiracy theories that easily, you probably shouldn't hold office. but that's just my opinion", ">\n\nShe said what she needed to say to get elected.

Bush had been to him eight years earlier.\nTrump, on the other hand, seemed to truly marvel at the fact that Obama was capable of carrying on a ‘normal’ conversation with him.

Bush had been to him eight years earlier.\nTrump, on the other hand, seemed to truly marvel at the fact that Obama was capable of carrying on a ‘normal’ conversation with him.

Bush had been to him eight years earlier.\nTrump, on the other hand, seemed to truly marvel at the fact that Obama was capable of carrying on a ‘normal’ conversation with him.

> Obviously articles like this don't get to the heart of the issue when it comes to these "audits". When people talk about "audits" for lower-income tax filers, it's usually around three things: dependents, the Child Tax Credit, and the Earned Income Credit. These credits are huge relatively compared to people's income, and thus there is a lot of issues with people claiming it incorrectly, or claiming kids that they don't qualify for. So when two separated parents claims the same kid on their taxes for these things, the IRS has to look into it to determine who is actually, legally eligible to claim the kid(s) and the benefits. That's what they talk about when looking at "audits". These are simple and very automated things. There is always one winner. This is completely different than an actual, warm-blooded person coming to a business and reviewing their taxes and their records, or a high-income earner's return looking for complex tax positions. The IRS can crank out lower-income audits because 1) there are a lot more people who file and claim these dependent and tax credits, and 2) they are simple to review and resolve. Audits of high-income earners or businesses take time, and someone trained in complex areas of tax law. Even then, most high-income folk hire accountants and lawyers and I will tell you right now, even if the IRS finds errors or even fraud, these taxpayers will appeal it or drag it through the courts before coming to a resolution. If Congress wanted to drop the audit rate of lower-income folks, they would de-couple the welfare benefits in the form of tax credits, and have another agency administer them outside of the tax code (for example, the Social Security Administration). But given Republicans won't even renew the expanded Child Tax Credit, that's probably DOA.

> Republican love flat rate taxes, you should talk to them.	[ "If Republicans want to avoid raising the debt ceiling and pass a balanced budget, then they should be seeking to recoup lost revenue from wealthy tax cheats to make that happen.\nYet they want to defund the IRS and cut 87,000 jobs from the agency.\nAnybody want to explain how that makes sense?", ">\n\nBecause if they go after the wealthy, the IRS will stumble into many republican bank accounts with dark money, and their web of corruption could be revealed and seized. They want less power for these agencies, so that they're easier to control.", ">\n\nAre we really acting like the liberals aren't tax cheats too?", ">\n\nLock them up with the conservatives", ">\n\nThis is the way! I have no problem if we take out a majority of both parties if both are corrupt", ">\n\nWhile I agree that any and everyone engaging in any corrupt action should be impeached, removed, and held accountable, let's be transparent and honest here.\nThere are significantly more questionable people in the republican party than in the democrat party. That's a fact. All you have to do is look at what the people in the parties are doing and where they stand on the issues.\nWhich party passed the bill that gave the IRS additional resources to pursue the tax cheats? Which party wants to repeal that funding? That tells you everything you need to know. Look at actions, not words.", ">\n\nLooking at how many republicans have been charged or investigated for pedophilia is enough to know which side is more awful than the other and that’s it for today.", ">\n\nAnd McCarthy wants to cut funding to the IRS. The Republican motto is 'Rules for Thee, not for me'.", ">\n\nIf they are targeting the poorest of Americans with their current resources what makes you think giving them more funding will change that ?", ">\n\nThe IRS lacks the resources to effectively go after rich folks.", ">\n\nGoing after the wealthy is obviously much more costly and resource intensive. But they’re not pooling their current resources to go after rich folks are they?", ">\n\nNot if Republicans have anything to say about it.", ">\n\nAnd when Barry was president they targeted conservative groups. I think phone calls can be made to tell them to back off of the little guy.", ">\n\n\nthey targeted conservative groups.\n\nNo. They went after specifically anti-tax tea party groups. The groups who openly flaunted tax laws", ">\n\nThey also went after progressive, left leaning groups - how do you explain that ? it was political", ">\n\nWait, did they target conservatives or progressives? Lol", ">\n\nBoth- it was quite clear they were involving themselves in politics - that’s what the IG found", ">\n\nFun with statistics\nTale as old as time", ">\n\nThere's lies, damn lies and statistics\n-Benjamin Disraeli", ">\n\nWhen my wife taught AP stats this was her bible, she loved showing kids how easy it was to be deceived, in teaching them to do it themselves. It was a pretty impactful strategy for teaching, although I do hate to think if any of those kids went into politics or political strategy with her directions.", ">\n\nThis isn’t even their idea. They basically ripped this Reason Magazine article off and put their name on it. \nIt was already an heavily biased assessment of the data from someone whose stance is basically “abolish all gubmint/taxation is theft”.", ">\n\nYet Fox news takes the \"side\" of the wealthy, at every turn", ">\n\nFox is just trying to give GQP cover. Many of us read this and think “that’s unjust let’s fix it” and the rabble thinks “abolish all gummit”", ">\n\nDon't tax you, don't tax me... Tax the guy behind the tree!", ">\n\nI know that already from the Trump tax filings.", ">\n\nand Biden is going to have that changed until the republicans try to handicap the IRS again", ">\n\nThe changes shave already been made. We just haven’t gotten into true tax season yet in 2023 to see the difference.", ">\n\nThe funding is for 87000 more employees and upgrades to systems that are decades old. These changes will take time. The GOP operates on the moment. They have no real plan other than to break stuff. They don't build anything.", ">\n\nThis is a conservative tactic, and the tactic of bullies in general. They provoke a harsh reality and reaction and then claim they were right all along.\nThe Tories are doing exactly the same thing in Britain.\nThe sheer dishonesty of it makes me livid. The inability of their followers to cotton onto it is perhaps one of the most frustrating things I have ever encountered.", ">\n\nYep!\nAlso this inflammatory headline is from Fox News, so not exactly reliable. “Targeting” here includes automated systems that naturally can detect mismatches in reported income — for example, wage income you report vs. what your employer reports. That’s just good governance and is not at all nefarious.\nThe real issue is the lack of ability to really audit the wealthy, whose income generally cannot be checked automatically and whose finances are often deliberately extremely complicated. The staff who can do such sophisticated audits are few, and the IRS hasn’t been able to hire and train up very many over the past decade.", ">\n\nThanks for the informative reply.\nYou make great points which I don't doubt. But there are times when I think it's important to consider both the letter and spirit of law at times.\nEven though it is perfectly by the letter of the law that people should be checked, it also seems against the intended spirit of said law that only a certain group of people are checked.\nI am not familiar with US law, but I think most of us can feel some degree of injustice with how things currently are.", ">\n\nThe point is to automate more checking of income common to wealthier people, and devote more resources to auditing those people. The Fox News article is disingenuous in how it describes the automated checking that goes on. It’s not great that rich people aren’t really audited, but there’s no reason to stop the automated checking of income where it’s already being done and essentially free to continue.\nIf you feel differently, explain yourself.", ">\n\nNo, we are in alignment concerning this.", ">\n\nObviously articles like this don't get to the heart of the issue when it comes to these \"audits\".\nWhen people talk about \"audits\" for lower-income tax filers, it's usually around three things: dependents, the Child Tax Credit, and the Earned Income Credit. These credits are huge relatively compared to people's income, and thus there is a lot of issues with people claiming it incorrectly, or claiming kids that they don't qualify for.\nSo when two separated parents claims the same kid on their taxes for these things, the IRS has to look into it to determine who is actually, legally eligible to claim the kid(s) and the benefits. That's what they talk about when looking at \"audits\". These are simple and very automated things. There is always one winner.\nThis is completely different than an actual, warm-blooded person coming to a business and reviewing their taxes and their records, or a high-income earner's return looking for complex tax positions. The IRS can crank out lower-income audits because 1) there are a lot more people who file and claim these dependent and tax credits, and 2) they are simple to review and resolve. Audits of high-income earners or businesses take time, and someone trained in complex areas of tax law. Even then, most high-income folk hire accountants and lawyers and I will tell you right now, even if the IRS finds errors or even fraud, these taxpayers will appeal it or drag it through the courts before coming to a resolution. \nIf Congress wanted to drop the audit rate of lower-income folks, they would de-couple the welfare benefits in the form of tax credits, and have another agency administer them outside of the tax code (for example, the Social Security Administration).
