"If Republicans had an ounce of shame they wouldn't condition support for Israel and Ukraine on giveaways to wealthy tax cheats. Making aid to Israel and Ukraine dependent on gutting IRS enforcement funding is an absolute nonstarter. Hamas depends on sham charities and other illicit finance schemes to fund its operations, but this proposal would cut resources to IRS criminal investigators who are actively helping American allies stop terrorist financing and sanctions evaders. And according to CBO, taking funding from IRS enforcement will actually increase the deficit by letting more wealthy individuals get away with not paying their fair share."
