“ #IRS is nearing agreement to allow immigration officials to use tax data to confirm the names and addresses of people suspected of being in the country illegally, culminating weeks of negotiations over using the tax system to support #Trump ’s mass deportation campaign”

@Lizette603_23 @GottaLaff came here to say this
@GottaLaff too bad the IRS doesn't do things like make paying easier or finding massive cheaters.
@ATLeagle That and make it easier to get an "audit" resolved. I made a transposition on my tax return in 2022. They caught it mid last year. I got a notice. They also added another item, that wasn't taxable. I responded. I still don't have a resolution. It's insane. @GottaLaff
@GottaLaff
And then they will go find the married gay folks.
@amyedge Yep. It won't end
Gotta give the IRS something to do, now that investigating the rich is off the table.
@GottaLaff wait..people here illegally are paying taxes? That's a big admission from the anti-people party.
@timo21 @GottaLaff
Absolutely. Not just sales taxes, but their employers deduct $$ for social security they'll never be able to collect. 16 states & DC allow undocumented to get driver's licenses, which means paying & submitting an address.
@timo21 @GottaLaff nearly $100B in 2023! That's a combination of employment, property, state and local and sales taxes.
@timo21 @GottaLaff I want to shake people who 1. Wave the capitalism flag while also 2. Decrying an instant increase in consumers, workers, and tax payers. They’d rather women have babies and wait 18 years.
@revndm they think AI will replace the workforce. @GottaLaff
@GottaLaff sickening. In Germany was a Dystopian book published about this - if the Nazis had Big Data (Eschbach / NSA). It's your country. Do something. What do you have what nearly no other country on the planet has. You have firearms. If Trump is coming after your firearms... Then it's close to 12. #resistance
@GottaLaff This is explicitly illegal. How the hell are we going to stop it?
@wcbdata By doing everything and anything we can.

Yeah definitely prioritise removing tax payers from the country.
@petealexharris Well think about it. They're destroying the IRS and losing billions in tax revenue
@GottaLaff they’re working and paying taxes so best to get rid of them
Whatever happened to the whole thing about Trump's refusal to release his tax returns? The media didn't even cover it -- if I'm recalling correctly -- this past election. Ugh.
@cindyweinstein @GottaLaff It became the new norm.
Harris released hers. I think if a democrat didn't release them, it wouldn't be the new norm. I can hear the kvetching. Maybe it's just the new norm for MAGA.
@cindyweinstein The media. 'nuff said
@GottaLaff It is really scary to deport foreign workers who are productive citizens and who work harder than many Americans and pay taxes.
Decreased tax revenue --> more cuts to "socialist deep state" --> more debt --> more cuts to "socialist deep state" -> repeat, ad nausea
