No, this is to go after lower/middle classes and to go after small businesses. It includes a huge tax cut for the largest corps.

Wealthy tax Look at all of the career politicians who become extremely wealthy while in office. No, this isn’t about finding “wealthy tax cheats”.

[seanhettenbach]

I don't don't think you need 80k to go after the wealthy cheaters but rather, the regular everyday American.

[paidinfull]

Wealthy people by default are audited. So who are these armed agents really going after?
