they don't want to audit wealthy individuals.

mttrantham.bsky.social•3 hours ago

DOGE isn’t about “fraud, waste & abuse.”

THIS - stopping the auditing of wealthy individuals - is what DOGE is about.

They are interested in dismantling, not helping

vtmoderate.bsky.social•2 hours ago

But that’s the point of the cuts, isn’t it?

joelvegatenor.bsky.social•3 hours ago

The tax cheating for the oligarchs is the whole point of all this and always has been.

Purpose of “doge” is to destroy and not to save.

Or to collect public data for private use.

We must tax the rich. A few dozen people have half the wealth in this country. Time to end it, by any means.

bluesplayer1.bsky.social•1 hour ago

That's not the point, this is not about efficiency it's about the rich getting richer at any cost. How do you expect them to do that unless you hamstring the IRS.

Musk and trump pay no taxes

d5frickel.bsky.social•2 hours ago

They are not trying to cost cut: they’re crippling the IRS so they and their friends have less tax pressure. Conflict of interest.

austinmilbarge.bsky.social•3 hours ago

why even grant the good-faith intention of DOGE being about actual cost-savings and efficiency?

memegwesi66.bsky.social•2 hours ago

DOdGE. Like Trump did.

memegwesi66.bsky.social•2 hours ago

Protecting wealthy criminals and tax dodgers.

It should be called
Dodge.

Trumpspurs should back that.
He's a dodger if there ever was one.

For goodness sake! The cuts to the IRS were never about efficiency. It was to stop the rich from being audited. Biden gave more money to the IRS and they successfully clawed back money from the rich. Trump and Musk don’t want that to happen again

I believe you are under the impression that DOGE is about saving Taxpayers money. It is solely to provide funds for more Billionaire tax breaks.

The point of cutting the IRS isn’t to save the government money. The point is to let President Trump and his wealthy donors, including Elon Musk, cheat on their taxes with impunity and make a fortune doing so.

As it was with Trump's campaign promises, Trump/Musk budget cuts are designed to off set the cost of the, about to expire, Trump first term tax cuts.

I mean this really is just common sense. And Elon knows this…..but he’s corrupt.

They KNOW that more tax auditors brings in more money. That’s WHY he’s cutting auditors.

Of course DOGE isn’t and never was about saving the government money.

There is a method in Musk's madness --- to avoid IRS scrutiny of tax avoiders. Where is the Democratic party outrage?

More self-serving brain farts from the Gaseous Ass-Kissers Fraternal Order of Bullshit Dispensers (GAKFOBD).

Kinda sounds like a fart.

Certainly does stink the place up ... more.

raspberry7.bsky.social•3 hours ago

This is great reporting, but please stop using DOGE’s false framing that they are trying to save money. They’re trying to cut programs, period. And cutting programs or cutting direct spending does not mean cutting costs.

And that’s not only true for cuts to the IRS.

doge has 1 responsibility. It has nothing to do with saving money or finding fraud.
Its singular purpose is to destroy everything and everyone it touches.
