Exactly. Here is the IRS apologizing for TARGETING conservatives: IRS Apologizes For Aggressive Scrutiny Of Conservative Groups The consent order says the IRS admits it wrongly used "heightened scrutiny and inordinate delays" and demanded unnecessary information as it reviewed applications for tax-exempt status. The order says, "For such treatment, the IRS expresses its sincere apology."
That is not what it said. Re-read it. It said it was "Co-Published" with The Atlantic. Direct quote: The author of that series works for ProPublica and they pay for their investigative work by selling investigations to other publications that pay them. So you have now questioned the source as being biased...when I used the exact same source and even one of the same authors that you did.
When and at what cost now? I step out of my house and breath perfectly fine. Its a bit hot but that will always be there. People need help now, not a theoretical date in the future if everything goes right and we can audit more people to pay for this stuff. Im not a climate change denier, Im skeptical at the rate some of you think its happening and what ALL of the true factors are. My local mets cant tell me if its going to rain in 5 minutes much less predict what the weather is or is not going to do in 5-10-15-20 etc years. They better hope this "inflation reduction" comes to roost before elections come up in 2024.
This is a bit like saying "I went to my Doctor, and he couldn't tell me accurately if I was individually going to die of lung cancer if I smoked, and I am supposed to believe the people that say that there is a link between smoking and lung cancer?"
I have no doubt that minorities have been targeted for a higher percentage of audits for a variety of reasons. But 95 trying to pretend like he gives a shit about that is laughable. It's just standard intellectual dishonesty for him. And higher incomes still get audited at a much higher rate than lower incomes do. 4.8% of incomes higher than 10 million got audited according to the graphic 95 used. Only about 0.1% of people in the US make more than $1 million per year. So those making $10 million would only be a small fraction of 0.1%. They are hundreds of times more likely to be audited than the average person.
You say I have my head in the sand but your arguments show you have your head somewhere else. Republican policies continuously attack minorities. Stacking the deck: How the GOP works to suppress minority voting
The biggest weakness in your argument is arithmetic. Now if the point I’m proving is your argument is a poorly constructed lie, which it is, then you’re right.
Believing we all can prosper from clean air and drinking water is being gullible? Wow! Okay, how can we expect China and India to go along with cleaning up the planet if we refuse to, and what possible positive outcome can we expect by continuing to be one of the planet’s biggest polluters? The argument is pre-juvenile at best.
If someone on the left is making minorities targets then they should be called out. However that’s not the case here.
I didnt say anyone on the left was targeting minorities. I said the IRS is. The ones on the left were using the IRS to target republicans in 2013. That is known fact.
Ah, the old "conservative doesn't care about minorities" routine. Lazy as it gets. Not surprising. Keep making up shit to make the IRS targeting minorities more palatable for the libs. Too funny.
Swing and a miss. I get it. You and dems want to give more money to an organization that targets minorities. Congrats gang.
Off topic. Try to stay on topic. I get it, you are getting killed in the topic about the IRS targeting minorities. I guess i'd try to change the argument also if i was in your position LOL.
Calling that a "known fact" is false. An IRS employee utilized a screening mechanism to make the screening of certain non-profits go faster based upon certain words in the organization's name. It disproportionately affected the right, as there were more questionable groups being formed on the right than on the left at the time. But they went after both left and right, and it is hard to argue that it was "the left" when it was a specific office at the IRS.
