Biden’s Supersized IRS Will Spread Out More Audits For White People, Incoming Commissioner Promises
The only way to balance out this supposed injustice is for IRS agents to consciously target more non-blacks for audits.
Good news, everyone: Joe Biden’s nominee to head the IRS has promised to make tax audits more racially “equitable”! In other words, get ready for more shakedowns from the government, white people.
Hooray!
It was bad enough that Biden just infused nearly $100 billion into an agency despised by anyone trying to make an honest living — we’re the ones most likely to be harassed by it — but now it comes with the added insult of “equity,” a term that should be greeted like a real pandemic. Draw the blinds, close the shutters, and lock the doors.
Daniel Werfel, who is likely to be the next IRS commissioner, made the commitment during his congressional testimony on Wednesday after Stanford University published a study claiming that black taxpayers are disproportionately hit with audits. As with every other law or policy that supposedly “disproportionately impacts communities of color” (ie. rules meant to keep everyone safe and everything fair from ne’er-do-wells), this is B.S.
It’s true that black filers receive audit notices at a higher rate than non-black filers. But that’s because black taxpayers claim certain lower-income tax credits, like the earned income tax credit or credits for single parents, at a higher rate. That often means a filer receives money from the government that he never paid into it. “When someone claims one of these tax credits, which are part of our country’s social safety net,” the study said, “they receive a refund amount even if they didn’t pay any taxes.” (The term “refund” here is inaccurate for money that was never given by a taxpayer.) These credits are most likely to instigate an audit purely based on an IRS algorithm.
The authors wrote that black filers made up 21 percent of earned income tax credit (EITC) claims. Single black men with dependents — unmarried fathers — also make up the largest group of EITC claims. In other words, blacks only make up about 13 percent of the population but are more likely to file claims that are most likely to trigger an audit, even as the IRS has no idea what race any given filer is. (There is no race box to check off when submitting the paper work.)
The only way to balance out this supposed injustice — equity! — is for IRS agents to consciously target more non-blacks for audits. And trust me, it won’t be the filers with...
Disney Is Trying To Turn Your Kids Into Historically Ignorant Little Racists
The once-great corporation that was universally admired is today working to help fuel racism among young children.
During the Super Bowl on Sunday, the Walt Disney Company aired a commercial celebrating the company’s 100-year anniversary. Notably, it didn’t feature any of the company’s recently released, highly political and divisive content and instead highlighted the company’s seemingly nonpolitical and more unifying aspects.
Nevertheless, Disney continues to churn out highly divisive, political content. The once-great corporation that was universally admired in the 1950s and 1960s is today deliberately working to help fuel racism among our most innocent citizens: young children.
A recent production of Disney’s “The Proud Family” put forth yet another false narrative about our nation’s history — that only black slaves “built this nation” and that blacks today deserve reparations “for every moment we spend submerged in this systemic prejudice, racism, and white supremacy that America was founded with and still has not atoned for.” To illustrate this last point, the cartoon showcases a picture of a young black man with his palms turned up and the words “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” written on them.
The cartoon features predominately black girls angrily denouncing the Founding Fathers and, at one point, shows the presidential images on Mount Rushmore being replaced with the likes of Harriett Tubman, Nat Turner, and Frederick Douglass — the “real” champions of freedom. Lincoln is deliberately snubbed as the girls proclaim, “we can only free ourselves … emancipation was not freedom.” No context, of course, is supplied for these outlandish charges, thus exposing the cartoon for the racist propaganda that it is.
Disney has certainly declined from the company that virtually every home was tuned in to watch in television’s formative years. In earlier times, Disney regularly featured wholesome, patriotic portrayals of America’s past that influenced generations of children. Recently, however, it has worked diligently to promote the leftist goal to “fundamentally change America.”
One executive producer has admitted she deliberately infused gay-lifestyle themes into as many productions as possible. Disney’s diversity and inclusion manager, Vivian Ware, led the effort to ditch the words ladies, gentlemen, boys, and girls in its theme parks in order not to alienate...
