      Maybe if we continue to refuse to support the progressive party in protest then things won’t get significantly worse again next time? /s

                Me laughing proves the DNC is a progressive party? I don’t think that logic is very robust.

                I think it makes you feel more confident in disregarding the arguments of others which is the point you want to conclude but it’s unrelated to your previous point and that’s searching for evidence to back your preconceived notion which is also bad science.

                Plus this isn’t science or a polling sample it’s a conversation.
                So much wrong with how you interact with others.

              Lmao

              They audited less than 40 times fewer than smaller businesses? You realize that small businesses and billionnaires don’t exist at the same scale, right?

              Heres my evidence, the Biden administration increased federal revenue, and at the same time the rate of audits for those who made less than $500,000 declined.

                What?
                I think you misread the article or I am having a hard time parsing the meaning of that sentence.

                During the 5 year gap from 2019 to 2024 they only flagged 22 ultra wealthy companies cases vs 848 flags for small companies and that doesn’t mean a full audit was done just referred. And that’s the 40 times fewer, the number of flagged criminal referrals.

                I really don’t think you read that. I think you really are looking for bias confirming items and even gloss over presented data.
                Take a second and breath and think that it might be ok to progress your views beyond what you already think you know.
                Or please point out to me your evidence?

                  Typo on my part, missing the word Times.

                  I think auditing the ultrawealthy is great idk why you’re so opposed to it.

                    You are making up a stance that I don’t have to think you are controlling the conversation.

                    Also, adding times did not make your position any more clear. Please clarify your evidence and what you are taking away from that article.
