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.

Republicans vow to do lots of things. When its time to stand up to Democrats they don’t.
McCarty and McConnell will see to it that nothing happens.
Simply defund the IRS
***************
The GOP can’t even manage to defund PBS.
Nothing in government ever shrinks.

You’re right. Both parties love big government and they love spending other peoples’ money.
It's called 'getting a paycheck'.
I just saw my first DeSantis for governor ad here in FL. It was in Spanish.
Thank you for injecting a dose of reality into the conversation.
I guarantee you the GOP will lose their nerve...assuming they even try which is unlikely in any case.
Good, they are our people and will be the majority in America soon. Need to partner with legal Hispanics at every level.
Why do you think that is?
gov power grab of going cashless?
************
All your money are belong to us.
HA~~Pretty much..!~~~
I agree. A VAT or federal sales tax and everyone pays. Only exemption is food.
Cash registers are already set up for state sales taxes so it could be implemented immediately. We would then know what government is costing us on a daily basis.
I don’t see any coordinated Republican campaign going on...We’re less than 90 days from national steal day. A coordinated “Contract With America” is needed

It certainly is. This close to an election, in a pivotal year no less, and nobody knows what the GOP stands for. They don’t ever give their base much incentive to vote for them. Clueless party.
We would then know what government is costing us on a daily basis.
*************
They don’t want you to think about that.
Believe it when you see it.
Defunding will be very hard. They can redo the budget. Can’t make Rutabaga sign it.
The only way they do that is shut down the gubment, which I don’t think they have the guts to do.
That is what I think too. The only thing they can do is pass it and make Pedo-Joe veto it. Then use it as a 2024 campaign promise. If they had the backbone to shut down the government they would have some bargaining power, but linguini bends too easily.
Its not the usual GOP this time.
The old GOP is done and gone, it ended with the raid on Mar a Lago. Those collegial days with Dems are over. The future of the GOP is with the Jim Jordans and the Freedom Caucus.
Just take a look at Mike Pence and what he is saying....completely out of touch!
The FBI and the IRS is done.......and the DOJ? Every radical lawyer there who has failed to defend and protect the constitution as read will be chasing ambulances in Preoria.
The fiscal axe is on the way.
