The IRS needs to be properly funded because taxes (joined to elections) are merely the way that voters (acting as consumers) buy the kind of services they want from the government (and through those services the kind of society they want).  To thwart tax collection is to thwart the voter's ability to buy that society and might even be considered a restraint of trade.  Voters send people to Congress for the essentially sole purpose of retrieving and spending their tax dollars. The IRS is a tool.As for the documents issue.  Biden (in his usual -- and sooner or later -- act of hubris [a genuine personal failing]  should never have said anything about Trump and documents (and was ill-advised if anyone told him to).  Virtually every single government official who ever handled classified (especially those "overclassified) documents likely mishandled them in some way (left them on a desk, took them home, mixed them with unclassified docs, etc.).  Biden pulled the classic "people in glass houses," blunder.  But there is no equivalency between his and Trump's behaviors or -- I would bet -- their motivations.  Biden has been handling classified documents for 50 years and no doubt mishandled some. Trump has handled them for some four years (and from practically his opening day meeting with Russians he divulged classified materials ) and his seeming willful ignorance about and disrespect for intelligence matters was a walking security risk.  And needed to be treated as such by DOJ, etc
