The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.
Line chart titled "Revenue per audit," subtitled "In-person audits, 2010-2014." It plots average revenue and average cost per audit by taxpayer income percentile, poorer to richer, from the 0–5th percentile to the top 0.1%. Source: Boning et al. 2023, "A Welfare Analysis of Tax Audits Across the Income Distribution."

Across the bottom half of the income distribution, revenue and cost track closely, both around $3,000–$6,000 per audit. Above the median, revenue pulls ahead of cost: about $10,000 vs. $5,000 near the 90th percentile, and about $17,000 vs. $8,000 at the 95th–99th. At the top, revenue jumps to about $31,000 for the 99–99.9th percentile and about $90,000 for the top 0.1%.

This is literally why there's a bipartisan effort to remove internet access from young people. It's an attack on queer people, leftists, and anyone who questions authority. They don't want our children finding out that MLK and Frida Kahlo were socialists or that Stonewall was a riot.

Anthropic survey of social scientists tending to support my anecdotal impression: friends who see potential value in AI mostly use it for coding (or use it dialogically), and are wary-to-disapproving about asking it to draft documents or significant sections of them. +
From https://www.anthropic.com/research/coding-agents-social-sciences

Alt-text: Horizontal bar chart titled “A. Coding agent vs non-agent LLM users,” comparing the share of users selecting different AI use cases. Coding agent users report higher use across all categories: code, 97% versus 77%; edit prose, 87% versus 72%; method advice, 77% versus 63%; lit review, 76% versus 60%; draft prose, 54% versus 30%; and generate ideas, 47% versus 32%. Darker gold bars represent coding agent use, and lighter gold bars represent other AI users.

Comic panel of Donald Duck and a wide-eyed young Mickey Mouse. Donald's speech bubble: "Democrats should do a huge middle class tax cut to address affordability." Mickey's speech bubble: "Fool that you are, for you treat taxation as a burden rather than the means by which our burdens are eased. Behold a civilization rich in private wealth yet starved of public provision, where every man owns what his grandfathers could not imagine and yet trembles at the thought of how he will weather an illness or loss of livelihood. Will you fight for an affirmative vision of broad contribution and universal benefit? Or will you perish like a dog?"

It's such a breath of fresh air to see @aoc.bsky.social stand against gutting our tax base.
Ocasio-Cortez isn’t convinced. She’s not sure that these are the kinds of proposals Democrats should start building an agenda around.

“When you actually look at the totality of what’s being put forward, we are seeing a total gutting of a resource base,” Ocasio-Cortez told NOTUS. “If people want to choose between whether they want guaranteed health care or a 5% tax rebate, people are going to want guaranteed health care.”

“It’s not to say that I object to any and all like tax cuts or tax rebates, right? We can help people who are struggling, but I don’t think that the biggest impact in how you help someone and how we help people make ends meet is through that avenue,” she said.

For Ocasio-Cortez, who has long been an advocate of taxing the wealthy and transforming social services, wiping out significant tax revenue goes too far.

Ocasio-Cortez said “across the board” tax cut proposals on the table amount to an “attack” on young people.

“It is a complete defunding of the world that young people will have to live in, and they are asking young people to foot the bill,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
