SOLD! Trump Taps Auctioneer and Former MO Congressman Billy Long to Lead Key Agency [IRS]
Redstate ^ | 12/5/24 | Susie More

"I am pleased to announce that former Congressman Billy Long, of the Great State of Missouri, will be appointed to serve as the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Billy brings 32 years of experience running his own businesses in Real Estate and, as one of the premier Auctioneers in the Country. He then served 12 years in Congress, because he “felt it was important for his constituents to have a Representative who has signed the front of a check!”

Since leaving Congress, Billy has worked as a Business and Tax advisor, helping Small Businesses navigate the complexities of complying with the IRS Rules and Regulations. I have known Billy since 2011 - He is an extremely hard worker, and respected by all, especially by those who know him in Congress. Taxpayers and the wonderful employees of the IRS will love having Billy at the helm. He is the consummate “people person,” well respected on both sides of the aisle.

Congratulations Billy!"

Trump continues to steam-roll along with his nominees. Each time the media thinks they have the narrative set on one person, he suddenly releases one or two more nominee's names to throw them off balance.

The media is like a cat chasing a laser pointer light

That and his pre-emptive forays into foreign diplomacy. He’s determined this time to hit the ground running on January 20th.

“A Fed Gov’t auction!”

That’s what I was thinking, but bigger: “Next up, One Department of Education. What I am bid for the DOE? Do I hear $100?”

Not as I saw it.

I was waiting in the lobby of the new VA clinic in Springfield when he came in to have a photo-op and tour of the facility. He studiously ignored the vets as he came in and went out. Couldn't be bothered to say hello to anyone, guess we looked too unwashed and poor perhaps.

I have heard things about Long I won't repeat here, but I think Trump is not vetting people as well as he should be.

At 400 words per minute he could fire every IRS agent by name in 7.8 hours.

I dunno . . . .

There's just SOMETHING about a professional auctioneer heading up the IRS that is discomforting.

We do not need a more efficient IRS. We need a different tax system.

Corruption and efficiency is a bad combo.

“...and the wonderful employees of the IRS...”

Trump knows how to use a trowel when he wants to.

Do I hear a 20% top marginal rate?
Do I hear a 10% flat tax?
Do I hear abolish the federal income tax?
Going once, going twice…

Billy Long has been a strong supporter of Second Amendment. Favors tax reform. Was opposed to massive increase in size of IRS. Go Billy!

Long mocked Laura Loomer in the House Oversight Committee hearing about Twitter censorship in 2018.

Loomer was later proven to be right about the government directed censorship at Twitter.

Sorry to stick it to you. Must hurt - my apologies again. On the other hand, butt hurt cream is cheap, find it at your local Walmart, apply liberally.

Even with a different system, there will still be an IRS in some form. Maybe reduced in size or focused on different things but someone will still be collecting revenue and checking compliance.
