Republicans escalate IRS rhetoric as senator warns Americans not to apply for new jobs SCOTT: “[C]lained the Biden administration will use the Democrats' newly enacted Inflation Reduction Act to create "an IRS super-police force" to "audit and investigate" ordinary Americans. "The IRS is making it very clear that you not only need to be ready to audit and investigate your fellow hardworking Americans, your neighbors and friends, you need to be ready and, to use the IRS’s words, willing, to kill them," he wrote, referencing a job posting for the agency's Criminal Investigation division, which has been mischaracterized. YELLEN: "As I wrote last week, these investments will not result in households earning $400,000 per year or less or small businesses seeing an increase in the chances that they are audited relative to historical levels," Yellen wrote, emphasizing that the funds would help "improve taxpayer service, modernize technology, and increase equity in our system of tax administration by pursuing tax evasion by those at the top who today do not pay their tax bill." Scott is steadily closing the gap between himself and Cruz/Hawley for least liked and honest Senators.
Oh, I thought this was going to be about how Republicans are freaking out about how much money disappeared from the NRSC, which he is running. It turns out, the guy responsible for one of the largest fraud cases in US history doesn't like fraud investigations and also seems to often be around when the big piles of money that idiots ask him to manage disappear.
Scott is far from the only one promoting the myth of IRS super police force. A majority of Republican officeholders even ones presumed to be rational moderates like Chuck Grassely are promoting the narrative not mention the usual suspects in the right-wing mediasphere and what's really sad a majority of the low-information willfully ignorant voters that now constitute a majority of the Republican party will buy into it. Armed ... auditors? The IRS becomes the latest target of GOP misinformation Off-topic for this thread but speaking of Chuck Grassely. Republican senator says he supports $35 insulin cap after voting against it
I’d forgotten that. I read about it today, by Scott’s name wasn’t mentioned. Stolen, mismanaged, they’re effectively the same thing.
Apparently he also chairs the NSRC, in which millions have gone missing. So much for fiscal responsibility Republicans Demand To Know What Happened To Vanishing GOP Millions
