DON’T! Keep your independence IRS!!!!! Don’t back down and put that Orange P.R. Man (and I don’t mean Prince and I don’t mean Prize) in his narcissistic and self loving hole.
I learned to identify braggart bullies in Junior High School. It is especially easy to spot one as obtuse, obvious, vacuous, avaricious, and stupid as the compulsive liar and convicted criminal, Donald Trump. We must oppose every effort he makes to destroy our Constitutional Republic.
If the IRS enriches Trump and goons, then the system and reason for paying taxes is moot. Imagine if millions of people withheld their taxes until trump and Musk were held accountable. I'm a dreamer.
Trump wants to gut and weaponize the IRS and every department of government to target people he dislikes. Kamala Harris had a plan to increase enforcement of corporate tax evasion. Both candidates need to turn down the temperature.
More attempts to consolidate power. This grants the power to punish or reward. He’s building an arsenal to make sure you can’t vote, don’t vote or your vote doesn’t get counted in 2026. Midterms will be too late to act. Autocracy is here.
Ya, dictator stuff. He wants to use the IRS to reward his friends and punish his enemies. Start using words like takeover and dictator in the headline.
New York Times conveniently forgets IRS already lost its independent status when Trump Treasury Stephen Mnuchin defied congressional subpoenas to produce Trump tax records during his first term and conducted audits as Trump ordered on Trump’s enemies like James Comey and Andrew McCabe.
History shows that politicization of the IRS always leads to negative consequences. The independence and impartiality of the IRS is the cornerstone of a fair and efficient tax system. Any attempt to undermine this independence must be strongly resisted by the public, experts, and politicians.
Here he is posing as a grumpy old man, which he is, and as someone who can take on Harvard, which he cannot. He would not be able to apply to the Harvad Pre K classes and would never be allowed to be near the college classrooms.
