Paul Kiel and Jesse Eisinger of ProPublica report that the IRS is targeting poor people. (1/4/19)
“Budget cuts have crippled the IRS over the past eight years. Enforcement staff has dropped by a third. But while the number of audits has fallen across the board, the impact has been different for the rich and poor,” reads Paul Keil and Jesse Eisinger’s ProPublica expose “Who’s More Likely to Be Audited: A Person Making $20,000 — or $400,000?” Can it really be that the IRS is ignoring millions of dollars of white collar tax fraud while cracking down on some of the country’s poorest citizens? In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, Paul Keil and Jesse Eisinger join us in the studio to discuss their disturbing findings on exactly who the IRS audits.
