Conservative: Bigger IRS To Slam Little Guys

As IRS employee numbers swell by 92% thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, predicts the Washington Examiner’s Byron York, expect the agency to go after “the big middle class” which is “98.2% [of workers], making up about 75% of the nation’s income.” Indeed, “78% to 90% of the money raised from under-reported income” is likely to come from that group. Plus, “handing out all that money to the IRS could well mean that more dollars come to the very Democratic lawmakers who passed the bill.” It should double the “about 70,000 IRS employees” repped by The National Treasury Employees Union, whose PAC “donated $609,000 in the 2019-2020 campaign cycle, and 97% of that went to Democrats.”
