House GOP passes Israel aid bill offset by IRS funding cuts

Of course not. My argument is adding a bunch didn’t add to it either.

We could have a separate discussion to why this year is almost half a trillion less?

 

Hahaha. No, he's just got a bump stock finger when it comes to any "liberal" comment.

 

Revenues owed are up. Collected is down, timing. Good reason to hire.

Gap between US income taxes owed and paid is set to keep growing, IRS says

 

Also cbo is outing the BA and THFSG lies yet again...these 80,000 new irs agent aren't for enforcement, just menial office staff.

A Treasury Department report from May 2021 estimated that such an investment would enable the agency to hire roughly 87,000 employees by 2031. But most of those hires would not be Internal Revenue agents, and wouldn’t be new positions. According to a Treasury Department official, the funds would cover a wide range of positions including IT technicians and taxpayer services support staff, as well as experienced auditors who would be largely tasked with cracking down on corporate and high-income tax evaders.​

Besides making it easier for wealthy taxpayers to utilize abusive tax shelters I guess you are also fine with longer waits for tax refunds and long waiting times for Americans calling the IRS's taxpayer assistance line.

 

It should be hard to believe that we're still getting claims of Biden arming 87,000 new IRS agents (or is it 100,000?) who are coming after all of us middle class Americans ... but unfortunately, it isn't.
In addition to VA's post above, here are a few more explanations for those who still don't seem to understand.

Posts, campaign ads distort IRS funding

 

Wow ok this makes sense. This looks like it’s been a problem for a while though. Not sure if this alone is the reason for the current 500 billion difference from last year.

 

I would be fine with crackdowns on taxpayers evading the law assuming there is no partiality involved in how the Biden IRS goes about selecting who to investigate and who to go after. But I have no faith in a Biden/Obama IRS to do that. Obama used it as a political weapon against his enemies, and I expect more of the same from Biden. Defund the IRS.

 

Total nonsense.

 

you really figure the Biden IRS is totally different than the Trump IRS? That presidents clean out the entire agency and replace it with their own people?

 

Neither do I but it’s a win win. No aid to Israel and no IRS cuts. Keep it up!
