      This one is a great example:

      • Democrats: lets fund the IRS to go after the richest people
      • Republicans: OMG armed IRS agents are going to break down your door and tyrannize your pet ferret
      • Democrats: IRS sends out letters asking people who make more than a million per year who haven’t paid their taxes

          Sending a letter is the first thing they do when you haven’t filed. No matter who.
