Biden: Republicans Want to Make Sure We Don’t Have Enough IRS Agents

President Biden complained Friday that Republicans want to make sure “we don’t have enough IRS agents” to go after the “super wealthy.”

During a speech on the February jobs report, Biden said he was informed by his staff that the Freedom Caucus is demanding that Biden agree to a set of spending cuts and budget proposals before they will consider voting to raise the debt ceiling. […]

“The House Freedom caucus’ proposal would be a gut-punch to the American middle class and wouldn’t cut the deficit. Let me repeat that: this proposal would bring devastating consequences to our national security, working families, and community safety, and result in $0 in deficit reduction when coupled with MAGA Republicans’ support for trillions in tax cuts,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.

“Extreme MAGA Republicans’ proposals would ship manufacturing jobs overseas, in a crushing blow to states from Ohio to Georgia to Arizona – and would provide a windfall of economic benefits to China,” the press secretary said. …

What a JoeTard.

The "superwealthy" have people to handle the IRS.

He should shut his brain-damaged piehole and have Doc Jill change his diaper for the evening.

Regular shovels just aren't large enough for the BS they're trying to give us lately. I find it bizarre that some of the regime actually believe a lot of it. Perfect example of putting quotas above competence.

OK, Then they should back with a new proposal mandating every employee and member of the Executive Branch have a forensic audit of their finances for the last 20 years and it will all be PUBLIC information

Who doesn’t love the IRS! Everyone loves tax season and making sure they don’t make one tiny mistake they don’t even know about and get audited.

If you need 80,000 more IRS agents to “have enough”
then you need to cut taxes.

C’mon man. These agents are going after billionaires. That’s a fact. No kidding.

There are approximately 975 billionaires in the United States. If each billionaire gets his own personal IRS agent, what are the 86,025 new IRS agents going to do?

It’s time to scrap the entire tax code and shutter the IRS and replace both in a way is simple, just, and transparent with easy to understand rules.

See, that’s my big bitch. We don’t have enough IRS agents.

Just think how wonderful things would be if they could hire several hundred thousand additional agents.

The National Sales Tax is the fairest tax, and the simplest. If you’re feasting on lobster, you’re paying more tax than the guy buying Top Ramen; if you’re buying a Tesla, you’re paying more tax than the guy picking up a cheap used Camry.

It’s also a great way to keep the government in line and working for the people. If people are buying, the government is collecting. If the economy is in the dumpster, well, sorry. You’ll just have to do better, government.

I agree completely. Did you ever read Neal Bortz book, Fair Tax? Something like that, but without some of the monthly pre/rebates for households.

Have not read Neal's book, but I think it would be great if this is one time the feds enacted a simple policy and didn't weight it down with all kinds of conditions and exceptions. I know. Fat chance that's ever going to happen.

More like some people do believe the media’s interpretation of what he says; most of what he says is unintelligible.

More people working at the IRS should mean:

1. Somebody can answer the phone. (Of course, speaking in legible English and being able to resolve issues would be a plus), and

2. Somebody to go after drug dealers and coyotes to declare their income and pay taxes on it. Call it the "Al Capone Memorial Team"
