Another Government entity compromised. Didn’t they hear the rumours being broadcast everywhere?

Why didn’t the IRS speak up when traitor-45 kept claiming he was being audited?

Steve Mnuchin was Treasury secretary. He ordered the IRS NOT to turn over Trump’s tax returns, in defiance of black and white law.

Why wouldn’t he order Trump’s tax returns NOT be audited?

It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It.

Money Talks and Peasants Walk

IRS just another example of an existing caste system in our democratic egalitarian system. You know…the one that our MAGAt friends will defend to the end and claim that anything else is communism or socialism or whatever else they confuse.

It is part of our health care system too. An excerpt from a NY Times article Dec 22nd is below.———-

In NYU’s busy Manhattan emergency department, Room 20 is special. Steps away from the hospital’s ambulance bay, the room is outfitted with equipment to perform critical procedures or isolate those with highly infectious diseases. Doctors say Room 20 is usually reserved for two types of patients: Those whose lives are on the line. And those who are V.I.P.s.

The privileged treatment is part of a broader pattern, a Times investigation found. For years, NYU’s emergency room in Manhattan has secretly given priority to donors, trustees, politicians, celebrities, and their friends and family, according to 45 medical workers, internal hospital records and other confidential documents reviewed by The Times.

On hospital computers, electronic medical charts sometimes specify whether patients have donated to the hospital or how they are connected to executives, according to screenshots taken by frustrated doctors in recent years and shared with The Times. Major trustee, please prioritize,” said one from July 2020.

Dozens of doctors said they felt pressure to put V.I.P.s first. Many witnessed such patients jumping ahead of sicker people for CT scans and M.R.I.s. Some said medical specialists, often in short supply, were diverted from other cases to attend to mild complaints from high-priority patients.

Many hospitals offer exclusive concierge services to the rich. But emergency rooms are built around the premise of medical triage: that the sickest patients, regardless of their ability to pay, are treated first. Everyone else has to wait.

Looks like the IRS is waking up. I hope they get him.

Remember, Al Capone went to Federal Prison for TAX EVASION. Sounds like as good precedent…

I read that the IRS just doesn’t have the staff to cope with aggressive taxpayers/cheaters like Trump. Look, I don’t like paying taxes any more than you do and I resent my money spent on this while I am fine with expenditures on that. But we gotta pay ‘em and there’s no way you can convince me that I with my modest income (now based on pension and investment) should pay more in any given year than high-living billionaires.

Republicans who now claim to be the working people’s party should be committed to fairness. But…

Republican defunding of Irs likely played some part.

20 years ago, I made an error in subtraction on my taxes. It was found and I was informed ‘’payup, the interest and mistake, or we’ll throw your fluffy red butt in the hoosegow’’ (approximate message, as remembered)

So strange, how a little guy gets treated. Why is that?

The guy in charge (Steve Mnuchin) needs to do some explaining.. in front of a judge.

IRS was too busy auditing Traitor Trump’s enemies.

Salesforce whistleblower: RNC relied on ‘violent’ messages leading up to J6 — while Kushner counted the cash

It wasn’t just Trump. The Republican National Committee assisted the former president’s campaign in spreading lies as it shook down millions of party donors for cash using “violent,” “threatening,” and “inflammatory” language in the wake of knowingly losing the 2020 election, according to the Jan. 6 committee.

The ruthless tactics employed were too much for a whistleblower and even some in Trump world. But, after losing the election, “the Trump Campaign and the RNC had three of their largest fundraising days of the 2020 election cycle” which netted them more than $100 million.

Salesforce, an RNC e-vendor, started being inundated with a “deluge of abuse” over the summer months leading up to the election, according to a whistleblower tucked inside Appendix 3 of the Jan. 6 report. ‘J. Doe,’ as the committee identifies them, “worked for Salesforce’s privacy and abuse management team, colloquially known as the abuse desk,” the report reads.

That desk is supposed to serve as the cop on the digital beat at Salesforce. Or, as the J6 panel explains in its report: “An abuse desk is responsible for preventing fraud and abuse emanating from the provider’s user or subscriber network.”

“In the latter half of 2020, Doe noticed that the emails coming from the RNC’s account included more and more violent and inflammatory rhetoric in violation of Salesforce’s Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) with the RNC, which prohibited the use of violent content,” the committee report reads. “Doe stated that, near the time of the election, they contacted senior individuals at Salesforce to highlight the “increasingly concerning” emails coming from the RNC’s account. Doe explained that senior individuals at Salesforce effectively ignored their emails…”

They didn’t miss me. I live 99%on social security. Divorced by my wife, I made a one time “desperation withdrawal” from my IRA – and was unable to replace it in time. Now at age 83, I am still paying monthly penalties after eight years. America is an oligarchy- it’s that simple.

Are those ducks on that immoral criminal’s slippers?

The US tax code is a very bad joke. Years ago I saw a cartoon comparing the size of the code over the years from one volume to a stack of volumes. Gotta have all those dodge points for the well-to-do, though. /s

@Daeder They can’t. The IRS can’t say who they are or are not auditing. The only way to ‘announce’ something like that would be to have the Justice Department file a lawsuit. It is a total gag order (and a firing offense).

Not sure about Trump’s returns, but I do know that — by actions of a Republican-dominated Congress of a few years back — the IRS lost about a third of its staff. One result has been that over the past several years it has been more likely that a lower-income person will get audited than a really rich person, because the poorer person’s tax return is simpler and may contain the sorts of inconsistencies or omissions that a computer can catch. This year the Congress added budget for restoring staff levels at the IRS, and that agency is trying harder to look harder at the returns of very rich people — returns which are usually very complex. But the agency hasn’t yet been able to hire and train the people needed.

The McDonald’s french fries he’s holding is cute. To me, it’s a subtle jab about him having one big table set up with McDonald’s Big Macs when he thought the NBA champ Golden State Warriors were coming to the White House.

this country runs on the backs of the middle class while the upper class pays lawyers instead of taxes
