As violent crime rises, CA Dems fund the IRS

August 29, 2022

It’s not just inflation that’s high in California – homicides and violent crime are on the rise too. 

According to the Department of Justice: 

  • There were 2,361 homicides in the California last year, surpassing 2020’s figure by more than 150 deaths
  • California’s violent crime rate increased from 437 per 100,000 people in 2020 to 466.2 per 100,000 in 2021
  • The property crime rate ticked up 3% in 2021 

And what are Josh Harder, Julia Brownley, Katie Porter and Mike Levin doing about it? 

They’re giving the IRS $80 billion to audit middle-class Californians instead of funding the police.
