In an open letter posted on LinkedIn, Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.) vowed that Republicans plan to roll back the hiring of 87,000 new tax collection agents for the IRS, a key provision in the inaptly named “Inflation Reduction Act.”
Democrats cheered as Joe Biden feebly signed the inflationary bill, which raises taxes on the middle class and weaponizes the IRS, into law on Tuesday.
Democrats contend that the new agents are necessary in order to boost tax collection from the wealthiest Americans. However, according to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the lion’s share of new taxes will be paid by the middle class.
The CBO estimates that those earning less than $400,000 will pay $20 billion more in taxes over the next decade thanks to the Democrat’s $740 billion spend-a-thon.
According to the Daily Signal’s analysis, people making less than $200,000 will be hit hardest of all.

Rollback ....You have a short memory. Recall Paul Ryan & R controlled house under Trump’s 1st 2 years. Ryan’s R Congress did squat!
Still waiting for the repeal of Obamacare...like the Pubbies promised a few years back.
87,000 IRS agents
87,000 Laptops, Printers, Scanners, Cases, etc.
87,000 Cell Phones
Thousands of new vehicles. (All electric of course)
Thousands of new offices decked out with nice furniture
Thousands of new IRS emblazoned shirts, jackets, hats, etc.
And on and on and on and on...
I know. Trump will be more motivated than ever.
We need to get our members in there to accomplish it. It is possible that 22 and 24 will work our way.
Unless Tim Scott votes for someone else for Majority Leader, the new agents will be permanent.
“Sen. Rick Scott Warns New IRS Employees: ‘This Will Be a Short-Term Gig’”
Countdown until one (or more) of the other Republican leaders ATTACK HIM for the above.
(not sure what line they’ll use, but claiming his comments put government workers (IRS in this case) at risk of harm is always a sure bet, regardless of whether it’s true)
Talk is cheap, Rick.
More IRS agents, fewer border patrol agents.
That should convince most Americans that the Dems want to pillage, plunder and destroy the middle class.
To nationalize the elections it needs to be directed towards millennials-those under 40. They need to get on board just once and we can keep them. A flat tax and a different SSI they can understand.
I voted for McGovern as an 18 year old. 12 years later I was a Reganite. Something happens to people when they turn 30. We have to strike while the ironic hot.
The only way to rid ourselves of IRS agents is to repeal the 16th amendment.
VAT would tap into the underground economy. No need for the IRS at all.
Agree. Now the same thing needs to be said to the hundreds of thousands of ‘asylum seekers’ currently offering themselves up to the border patrol.
That is exactly what it is. Inflationary.
As for the senators response? HA! We will see! Am waiting for Obastardcare to be completely repealed..has that happened yet? Oh I forgot! You had both houses under Trump and you failed.
First democraps hit the working man with taxation in the form of inflation, then, seeing that the working man is getting killed, they raise tax taxes on same.
And yet people still vote for this scum. Some kind of meth-odd-ology taking place.
Who would want a job like this ? A few macho men.... with accounting degrees ?
There aren’t 87,000 of those around. The silver lining is this will fail like everything Ds touch.
And why wouldn’t it fail ? White collar office workers with a willingness to kill taxpayers. How f’kn absurd.
Totally agree, put it in your contract with America.
Yep, they are dropping the ball. Even if they want to avoid an ad blitz in August they should have been setting the table for a few months, planting the seeds.
There had better be more than just one come-a-knockin
There has been an overemphasis on the accounting credentials needed by the 87,000. They are clearly being brought on as political muscle - another plank of Obama’s federal police vision.
