IRS Finds Billions in Crime, Not the Ones Funding Endless Wars
The IRS is touting its $10.6 billion haul from financial crimes—a 'nearly 16% increase'—as agents 'ramp up warrants.' Meanwhile, the US just approved another $14.5 billion in 'aid' for Israel (Senate Bill HR 815, 2024), bringing the grand total to over $3.8 billion annually for decades. This isn't 'crime,' of course, just 'foreign policy,' despite being fueled by lobbying groups like AIPAC, which
poured over $4.2 million into congressional races in 2022 and 2024, according to OpenSecrets.org. Funny how that doesn't trigger the same 'financial crime' alarms as a small business owner's overdue taxes. It's almost as if the IRS has a laser focus on tax evasion by the little fish, while the whales of the military-industrial complex and their well-funded lobbyists navigate the perfectly legal,
yet ethically bankrupt, channels of influence. One might wonder, if they 'ramped up warrants' on political donations tied to defense interests, or the 'aid' that flows right back to US weapons manufacturers, just how many more billions they'd 'uncover.' But let's not get ahead of ourselves; there are still unpaid parking tickets to chase.
