I think this headline may be a matter of misreading what Mnuchin wants. He wants to put the bean counters where it actually counts. The Barack Obama administration used the IRS as an Obamacare babysitter. This isn’t going to continue.
And when we have another DemoCrat president with a bigger IRS? Sorry, but the first thing to do with the IRS is to (finally) prosecute those including Lerner that were involved in targeting conservative/tea party groups. Adding more workers to the IRS should be waaaayyyy down the list of things to do, and frankly, shouldn't be on the list at all.
If he uses the IRS to audit Soros, Clinton Foundation, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Carlos Slim, Bezos, Munchin’s previous employer Goldman Sacs, and all the leftist cronies who no doubt have not paid what they legally owe, then ok.
But if they go after small businesses, professionals who happened to make 200-300k, a big no.
