Low-income Americans ‘are easy marks’ for IRS, ATF, DEA while Biden pardons son for tax fraud, gun and drug crimes. By Dr. Simone Gold (12/05/24)

Dr. Gold describes America’s two-tiered justice system, especially for easy-mark Americans.

Key points:

• Despite previous declarations that he would not, Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter of tax, drug, and firearm violations and any other crimes he may have committed since 2014.

• American taxpayers remain targeted by Biden's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

• Under Biden…

  • Taxpayers must report transactions of $600 or more on third-party payment platforms to the IRS

  • IRS has increased audits on low-income families

  • Inflation Reduction Act provided IRS with $78 billion and 87,000 more employees

  • Low-income Americans ‘are easy marks’ because IRS “doesn’t have the resources” to help them and they cannot afford to fight IRS claims against them

  • Tax policies and legislation, contrary to “taxing the rich,” affect middle and lower income Americans disproportionally

  • Small businesses ‘won’t fight back’ (because they cannot afford to)
