bill would end up hurting lower- and middle-class taxpayers, rather than the billionaires advertised by Democrats.
During the news conference, Republicans pointed to a Joint Committee on Taxation analysis from last year about revenue from underreported income indicating that lower- and middle-class households could be in line for higher tax bills. “If you have 87,000 auditors coming on board, only 4%-9% of that tax gap is in those making more than $500,000. They must have to go, in their audits, after those in the lower income categories,” Sen. Mike Crapo told reporters. “And that’s what my colleagues are complaining about.”
