Republican donors love an understaffed IRS. Then they can cheat massively without fear of an audit.

IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2021, THE IRS RECEIVED 240 MILLION PHONE CALLS ASKING FOR HELP. THE IRS IS SO UNDERSTAFFED, THERE WERE FEWER THAN 15,000 EMPLOYEES AVAILABLE TO ANSWER. THAT'S ONE PERSON FOR 16,000 CALLS. AND THAT'S THE WAY REPUBLICANS LIKE IT.
