Republicans are coming under fire for their rhetoric over $80 billion in funding for the IRS included a massive climate, tax and health care bill that Democrats in Congress are sending to the White House.
The funding, over 10 years, is intended to help the IRS enforce various provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act, which would raise more than $700 billion in new revenue by instituting a 15-percent corporate minimum tax, taxing stock buy backs and extending a cap on deductions for business losses, in addition to helping the IRS enforce existing tax law. Of the $80 billion, more than half would go to increased enforcement, like audits.
Republicans, who have nursed grievances over the IRS going back to the Obama administration that were inflamed further by fights over former President Trump’s tax returns, have taken aim at the funding, arguing it amounts to creating a new army of IRS agents to go after taxpayers.
But the IRS, Democrats and outside experts all say the new enforcement money will mostly allow the IRS to focus on audits of the wealthy.

We'll have to work with True The Vote to stymie the scum.
“[I)]f you see anybody from the IRS in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

What's really maddening is that they think we're stupid enough to buy this crap.

87,000 NEW agents @ Min.$50,000 incl wages and benefits = $4.35B ($4,350,000,000) per yr.
It’s time for every state that has found discrepancies in their last election... to reverse giving the election to the dems.
No more time sitting on all the wrongs of that election.. do what is right for this nation.. do it now.. or a civil war is headed to your state.
People are not going to let evil triumph!
NAH; f#ck’em, I’ll just go to jail, at my age I just don’t give a shit!
That is one agent per approximately 1,500 people.
Taking away children and those not in the workforce, which is about 20pct of working age people that leaves 160 million people.
There were under 10K agents before the bill, there will be close to 90K now.
These are going to be found to be rough estimates. Can you take 20% off of their workload.
