Related: Robert Reich posted earlier today that Tesla paid ZERO taxes on $5 billion in sales (earnings?), so that’s just fucking great.

During the previous administration, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which included $80 billion for IRS to hire more people to go after the rich. The CBO estimated that it would collect $200 billion in the next decade, but there were other predictions of $560 billion.

Trump reversed all of that. Elon Musk and DOGE fired 1/3 of the IRS work force.

But you know, both sides are the same, right?
