Fund the (tax) police
Here’s one issue that both the left and right should be able to agree on: Fund the police. Specifically, the tax police.
If you care about “law and order,” if you think unpatriotic hucksters are getting away with scamming Uncle Sam or, heck, if you don’t want your own taxes to increase, you should demand to beef up the Internal Revenue Service.
Yet for some reason the leading lights of the conservative movement are trying to block tax cops from enforcing the law.
While nearly all Americans say that paying taxes is a civic duty, some scofflaws nonetheless shirk. The difference between what Americans legally owe in taxes and what they actually pay is an estimated $554 billion per year. Part of the reason the tax gap is so enormous is that the agency tasked with collecting revenue and detecting cheats has been starved of resources.

The Republican Party embraces, endorses, and encourages tax cheating. There's hardly a more disgusting political position to take.
