This is one of the very few SMART MOVES that I’ve seen of the Republicans. Rather than fighting to death defunding something like pre-natal care, make the DEMOCRATS the ones fighting to defend the IRS.
Smart, but Republicans will get back to ‘normal’ soon enough.
Pres Trump raised the standard deduction to help middle class folks that don’t volumes of tax deductions to reduce or eliminate their tax liability.
The middle class isn’t one that donates money to 501C3s that align with their liberal values, in such amounts that they can claim the donations to deduct on their tax forms.
Pres Trump, after raising the standard deduction, allowed folks that took the standard deduction to still be able to claim mortgage interest and property taxes as a deduction on their 1040s. Probably the only other deduction they can claim.
What do Biden and the Democrats do with their first budget? You can no longer claim mortgage interest and property taxes, in addition to the standard deduction.
Remember the Left is all about the Middle Class, ain’t they. But, nor do I hear any Republicans bringing it either.
Don’t forget to defund those 87K new IRS thugs. And take their guns, kevlar, and and other assorted taxpayer funded gear queer gear away from them when they’re escorted to the curb.

seems like an efficiency to me.
“Dems never counter with any other ideas. Just complain and name call.”
That’s not fair. Their solution to everything is to give them more power and money. They counter every sane suggestion with that.
"Democrats fume over proposed IRS cuts"
Regarding proposed election year IRS tax cuts, Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need take action to make sure that federal tax problems are resolved permanently by supporting hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress that will support him to do the following.
Trump and the new Congress need to lead the states to put a stop to federal government abuse of its 16th Amendment powers (16A; direct taxes) by effectively "seceding" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by repealing that amendment.
The 17th Amendment (17A; popular voting for federal senators) needs to disappear too.
Consider the repealing of 16&17A as part of reparations for victim taxpayers of the corrupt federal government for having to pay a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
"16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
The Republicans never go far enough. Get rid of every current tax rule & put in a flat sales tax. Period.
“IRS cuts”? Are these IRS budget cuts or are they “cuts” Democrat/Communist politicians receive from the lucre forcibly extracted by the IRS from working American citizens. Appears to be a reasonable request for clarification ...
And hire more gubmint bureaucrats.
What? No mention of all those new agents?
