The left is fascinated with the use of government power. They don’t have power if they aren’t using it.
Makes sense for someone who plans to extract as much money from producers as possible. He needs the money to pay the billions he’s planning to give to Ukraine, and for the massive transfer of money from those who work to those who vote democrat for a living.
This 7x increase for “digital asset monitoring” matches up nicely with a new Fed digital currency. The Mark of the Beast is just not that far away at this point.
Basically, create a domestic enforcement army which funds itself...
Lois Lerner needs a raise.
Remember the name of all of these communists who vote for this spending! Write their names down. Remember their faces. Remember what they did, and are continuing to do, to our kids and grandkids.
They will us the IRS to go through all records of political enemies, then drain them dry using lawfare.

In order for the Dems to turn America into a Socialist Society they must break the Middle Class. To do this, expansion of the Federal Gov’t by strengthening the IRS, compromising the FBI, DOJ and the News Media is what is in the current Bill. Seems the Dems have tried everything else but 87,000 IRS Agents will break the Middle Class. Who can afford to fight the IRS in an audit? The US Gov’t will have its way with most American Wage Earners and Small Businesses by passing this Bill proposed by Schumer and the Dems.
Increasing The IRS Annual Budget By Seven Times Doesn’t Add Up
—
It does if you consider that the actions will further hurt the country. This small bushiness, the self-employed that managed to survive the horrendous covid lockdowns will now be attacked by the hoards of new IRS agents with nothing better to do then audit everyone in sight.
How many of them will be able to hire CPAs, accountants to defend their returns?
How many of those will just pay up, even if they did nothing wrong?
How many of those will go out of business as a direct result?
And did the Big Tax Return companies have any hand in this? Because they all charge a fees to file, fees to defend against audits. They stand to gain a considerable amount of new business.
My daughter’s friend left college as an accountant and she eventually became an auditor for the IRS part of her job is to spend time at the shooting range and she also wears a bulletproof vest on her appointments.
Just to another far left RAT excuse to raise taxes. They need a bigger IRS because of all of the people’s bucks coming in so they have to hire more IRSers which costs more money and causes them to have to raise more taxes. Something like that.
I paid $400,000 in taxes last year between federal, state and property taxes. I think I’m good being harassed as it is. They still haven’t processed my return yet although they did cash my final $43k check that I sent with the return within a day or two. That was 4 months ago.
Did this bill actually increase the annual budget or is it just a one time boost?
Is it too much for the author of this click-bait crap to do even the most basic research?
$80B is the total additional amount available through 2031. It isn't an annual increase so it totally moots the point of this article.
Amazing laziness.
The government needs a significant database in order to instantly freeze and/or confiscate the assets of people it doesn’t like. Erasing a citizen’s financial existence is more effective than confiscating guns at this point.
Weaponizing the IRS. Why not? The FBI and the DOJ already weaponized so what’s the big deal?
The IRS has been a pivotal player in elections.
The attacked the Tea party
They audit conservatives
They let Tax cheats walk if democrats
The conspired with the executive for political purposes
They were the first major government agency flipped from non-partisan to political. Yes, the democrats want to reward and expand that with taxpayer money. This is their private new police force, complete with armor and bullets, that they feel is necessary to protect them from angry citizens.
I might add, I still don’t expect democrats to pay their taxes…….it just the way it is. Right Hunter and Joe, with your joint accounts.
“Plan for the worst and hope for the best” has never been so applicable. I should already be planning for the case in which there is a “red wave” in November. If that doesn’t materialize then the USA is toast.
How much more abuse are we, the poor suffering taxpayers, going to tolerate FRom this abusive, anti-American administration?
Doubling the size of the IRS (FRom roughly 78,000 to roughly 160,000 + employees!) is, put simply, OUTRAGEOUS!
I AM OFFENDED!
The administration’s proposal to spend EIGHTY BILLION DOLLARS (THAT IS $80,000,000,000!) in order to “bulk up” the anti-American IRS bureacracy defies ALL reason, logic and common sense!
I AM OFFENDED!
I am most pleased to report that there IS a solution to OUR problem: replace the Marxist inspired “progressive” income tax with a simple, easy to understand, easy and cheap to administer FAIRtax that taxes ALL of us at the same rate!
AND, the FAIRtax will ABOLISH the IRS!
