Senator Elizabeth Warren accuses former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk of aiding the wealthy in avoiding taxes. Potential IRS staff cuts may significantly impact tax processing.
Warren's Allegations Against Trump
On Wednesday, Warren reposted an Associated Press article on X with the statement that Trump and Musk were willing to delay tax refunds just so the wealthy could avoid their obligations. She also released a video accusing Trump's policies of handing the country over to billionaires.
IRS Workforce Reduction
According to reports, the IRS is planning to cut nearly half of its workforce. In February, 7,000 employees were already laid off as part of the downsizing efforts.
Response to Trump's Policies
During a press conference, Warren described the first six weeks of Trump's new administration as a 'sandstorm of chaos,' aiming to implement tax cuts that benefit billionaires.
Warren continues to criticize Trump's tax policies, stating they favor the wealthy while harming average Americans.
