Senator, I take this as seriously as you do.

The most shocking, completely unexpected thing is happening right now.
After the ultra-rich, including Jeff Bezos and a litany of large corporations, helped bankroll Democrat candidates in 2020, the alligator they fed is now looking to bite their face-off.

I of course thought maybe this is part of the initial scam attempt, so I tried called the IRS phone number right off of their website.
