As Democrats finally discovered reality and got some legislation moving, some mighty spurious arguments over the climate and energy bill emerged on both sides of the aisle.
Exhibit A was the idea that a beefed-up Internal Revenue Service should only audit people above a certain income level. That was floated by some of the same Republicans who have rightly lambasted progressive prosecutors for failing to protect America’s cities from the prevalence of repeat offenders who were sent back out on the streets.
Saying the IRS should only go after the really rich is akin to saying that how you are punished for a felony should be based on your income level. What nonsense. Equal justice for all.
