TAX DAY – AFL Sues the IRS and Treasury for Illegally Hiding Government Records on the Biden Administration’s Plans for Race-Based Tax Audits
https://aflegal.org ^ | 4/23/2024

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL) filed a lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of the Treasury for unlawfully concealing records regarding the Biden Administration’s plans for race-based tax audits.

Congress prohibits the IRS from collecting data on taxpayer race and ethnicity directly and from acquiring such data indirectly from other agencies. However, to advance the “equity” cult, the Biden Administration simply steamrolled the law. On May 18, 2021, the Department’s Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo said that “racial equity” was a key factor in the Administration’s “design of tax compliance.” On December 14, 2021, Adeyemo and Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy Lily Batchelder said that the Census Bureau, the IRS Research, Applied Analytics and Statistics (RAAS) Division, and “other data producers” were working with the Department to circumvent nondiscrimination law by obtaining “microdata on race and ethnicity” and otherwise imputing “race and ethnicity for tax data.”

On February 21, 2023, America First Legal opened a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) investigation of the IRS and the Treasury to expose the Biden Administration’s race-based tax audit and enforcement decisions.

Despite Treasury Secretary Yellen’s testimony to Congress denying that the IRS planned to change its process to make audit decisions based on taxpayers’ race, Biden’s Treasury Advisory Committee on Racial Equity (TACRE) has continued to advance the Administration’s race-based policies.

Create the rules. Create loopholes, then exploit those that use the loopholes you created for them.
Repeat until you get the results you wanted.
I swear if minorities tax bills ended in an odd number, the left would outlaw odd numbers. You know for equality.🟰

I don’t think the race being targeted for more audits here is a minority race. That would not fit the “equity” standard reported on in the article.

I think we’re talking low-melanin here. The lowest melanin.

The biggest racists in US history are the dhimmicraps. The longer we allow them to continue their racial dogwhistles, the longer ‘racism’ will be a problem in the US.

Democrats are the most racist, closed minded, bigoted and intolerant people in this country! They do not tolerate an opinion other than theirs on ANY issue.

It is absolutely amazing are how good they are at ‘projection’ and accusing others of what they do. It’s incredible how effective they are!
