This is along the lines of what I am thinking. It plays right in to the "rich people are evil" narrative that is being sold right now. I'm sure some people broke the law, and those cases will generate headlines since the public loves it when rich people get caught and the administration will be pushing the stories. Ultimately the problem will be that the rich generally hire people to tell them what is legal and what isn't. For all the talk there will be about what is "moral" or "right", using loopholes is not illegal. I see this new IRS unit chasing their own tails for a few years before it is quietly shut down.
