Protecting tax cheats is the whole point

It's tax season. Millions of working families are getting ready to file their taxes for 2021, while far too many are still waiting on their tax returns from 2020.

Thanks to decades of Republican budget cuts, the IRS is understaffed, underfunded, and without the resources, it needs to serve the American people.

Meanwhile, as working people pay their taxes, tax cheats are getting away without paying their fair share, knowing that their chances of getting audited are shrinking every single day.

Let's be clear: this is the direct result of the decades-long war that Republicans have waged on the IRS. Protecting tax cheats while working families are expected to pay taxes out of each paycheck is what Republicans have been working to solidify for years. And they've succeeded.

I'm using every tool at my disposal to ensure the IRS gets the full funding it needs to go after tax cheats and serve the American people and ensure once and for all that everyone pays their fair share.

This should be an easy bipartisan victory for fairness. But it has become another front in the right-wing war on working people.

I'm fighting with everything I've got to get this done.
