IRS: Cuts benefit the wealthy

Trump just cut the number of IRS agents, making them unable to continue collecting billions in back taxes from wealthy tax slackers. Those IRS agents were bringing in a lot more revenue than they were costing in wages. It shows that Trump’s cuts are not to reduce spending as much as they are politically motivated to benefit the wealthy, target particular groups and see how much he can get away with. And instead of forgetting about further permanent tax cuts benefiting mostly the wealthy, he still plans on going through with it. Many of the cuts being done now are endangering the safety of Americans and threatening the running of our governments day to day functions. The unintended consequences of these poorly planned and hastily enacted firings and cuts have yet to be felt. Why isn’t Congress sticking up for those things as well as Trump’s continued ignoring of laws passed by their own branch of government? Do your jobs, Sen. Crapo and Risch, Rep. Fulcher, Trump is making a mockery of the laws passed by you.
