While the Teamsters have decided to withhold a call to vote for Kamala Harris in this election, the tax collectors for the welfare state have put out their enthusiastic endorsement.
According to Media Research Center:
The union that represents the nation’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents announced Wednesday that it is endorsing Democrat Kamala Harris for president in this year’s election.
Vice President Harris has played a role in “one of the most pro-labor administrations in history,” the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) explained in a press release announcing its decision:
“The administration also delivered agency budgets that provide federal employees with additional staffing and resources, including significant new investments to rebuild the IRS under the Inflation Reduction Act.”
Indeed, the Inflation Reduction Act, for which Harris cast the deciding vote to break a Senate deadlock, boosts the IRS budget by $80 billion, enabling the agency to hire an additional 87,000 employees – while increasing the union’s membership in the process.
However, the IRS expansion won’t just increase union membership, it’ll also help the agency to collect an additional $5 trillion of tax increases Harris wants, analysis by Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) finds:
“Harris-proposed tax increases will kill jobs in the private sector but create jobs for IRS agents.
“Agents certainly appreciate her call to make the IRS even larger and more powerful if she wins the presidency. Agents will be hired and deployed to implement the $5 trillion of tax increases Harris wishes to impose over the next decade.”

How could anyone have seen that coming ?
Lol, this’ll go over big with the voting public.
She’d weaponize the IRS against people - especially conservatives - like nobody’s business.
Fast forward to the annual omnibus budget bill where the Republicans vote to increase funding for the IRS, USPS, DOJ...
The IRS is despised across the nation so believe me she can have this endorsement! She has just been cursed and jinx by this endorsement…🤣
Big Government Marxist candidate wins the support from all the Big Government unions. I just can’t tell you how surprised I am at this.
Trump should make government unions illegal on Day 1.
Her cut is what, 20%.?
A lot like getting Putin, Dick Cheney’s endorsement. A big negative.
Why is this coveted?
Harris has 25% of the voting public if for no other reason than they owe their job to her since she’s their boss. Another good reason for smaller gov’t.
The IRS and neocons adore Harris tells you everything you need to know
It isn’t-the author of the article has a sense of humor and is indulging in some heavy sarcasm...
“A lot like getting Putin, Dick Cheney’s endorsement. A big negative.”

Putin said it was a joke and he’d never back Harris. He’s supporting Trump.
“The IRS and neocons adore Harris tells you everything you need to know.”

The NTEU represents 150,000 non-supervisory Treasury employees throughout the country. They each have family members and friends they’ll influence.
This could easily turn into another 500,000 votes for Harris, spread across the country to even Republican districts.
Today’s history lesson:
The United States was formed in large part to get away from King George’s tax collectors.
letting the agencies unionize is a problem
federal public servant employee unions should not be endorsing any political candidate - ever. It’s unethical and creates conflicts of interest should a candidate they don’’t endorse wins election..
Our lawmakers need to condemn any such endorsements
👍Biden increased IRS ranks by 84,000 They are we-bes. “We be here long after you’re term ends”
How about going after MUNOZ, the SUPER DEMOCRAT that owes the IRS MORE THAN $3 MILLION?????
Every single government union...except,perhaps,police unions...will be endorsing Heels Up Harris.
