Despite boasts about going after the 1%, they haven’t been the federal tax agency’s focus for some reason.

It has become a tiresome, platform talking point over the past few election cycles – the rich are not paying enough taxes. Corporations have been accused of paying zero income taxes. The empty claim from Bernie Sanders was always “the millionaires and billionaires” needed to pay their fair share. (He quickly dispatched ‘millionaires’ from his cliche’ the day his personal wealth was revealed to place him in that particular bracket.) Recently Elizabeth Warren has been sniping at Elon Musk within her vapid claim that he is not paying taxes, to which he has responded in kind, exposing her as an economic dunce.

But now, some data has been uncovered to show that–for all the billowing smoke pouring forth from these cement-head politicians–they are not achieving their dream of generating more tax-and-spend revenue from these supposed wealthy scofflaws. The IRS, their preferred enforcement arm of all things fungible, is not in fact going after the corpulent feline business set, and instead has been targeting those with the least amount of cash to turn over.
