Sen. Rick Scott Warns New IRS Employees: ‘This Will Be a Short-Term Gig’
American Greatness ^ | 18 Aug, 2022 | Debra Heine

In an open letter posted on LinkedIn, Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.) vowed that Republicans plan to roll back the hiring of 87,000 new tax collection agents for the IRS, a key provision in the inaptly named “Inflation Reduction Act.”

Democrats cheered as Joe Biden feebly signed the inflationary bill, which raises taxes on the middle class and weaponizes the IRS, into law on Tuesday.

Democrats contend that the new agents are necessary in order to boost tax collection from the wealthiest Americans. However, according to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the lion’s share of new taxes will be paid by the middle class.

The CBO estimates that those earning less than $400,000 will pay $20 billion more in taxes over the next decade thanks to the Democrat’s $740 billion spend-a-thon.

According to the Daily Signal’s analysis, people making less than $200,000 will be hit hardest of all.

How many functions of the deep state are Constitutional functions of government?

Finally somebody in the so-called Republican Party has come out and said what everyone was waiting for them to say. The 87,000 IRS agents are going to be toast. And if the Republicans doesn’t run on that alone these are the most wimpish ignorant son of a bitches that ever lived. Yeah Kevin McCarthy I’m talking about you. What a gift

Get Trump in and he’s going to war against the federal government. I do believe that he will outdo himself as the most Constitutionally abident President by rolling back everything that he can.

Very short term in some cases, especially if they think to try to use those guns they are packing.

Best news I’ve heard this week. Okay—maybe tied for first with the Liz Cheney blowout.

Simply defund the IRS and put these “agents” along the Souther Border to battle the cartels who have infested our communites and local banking systems.

Ever since Lois Learner, the IRS has become a threat to the Amrican People. And the agency must be reduced to its minimal function.

Yeah…

We’ll see.

Nothing in government ever shrinks. It just continues to grow like an amorphous blog of evil goo…

Basically, come January, with a Republican led house...they can write the budget bill, and delete the funding for the IRS crew. Biden may refuse to play, but they can stall the budget for six months and trigger all kinds of pain.

Here is the problem: That IRS funding was designated as “mandatory spending” like Social Security instead of as “discretionary spending”.

That little difference will make repealing it like cutting an entitlement.

Watch the GOP lose their nerve when they try.

I don’t see any coordinated Republican campaign going on. If there was ever a time to nationalize a mid term election, this is the year. Everyone, individually, across the country is suffering from the same self inflicted wounds. This IRS assault is a perfect example. It’s got to be 80% unpopular. We’re less than 90 days from national steal day. A coordinated “Contract With America” is needed and most GOP campaign money should be used to promote it. Politics is not local this year.

RE: Sen. Rick Scott Warns New IRS Employees: ‘This Will Be a Short-Term Gig’

I cannot help but wonder if Sen. Scott knows that IRS employees like other government employees are damn near ‘fire or layoff’ proof.
And he does know that the Republicans need to win a majority in both the House & Senate before his warning will be anything more than another screech on the blackboard from the backbenchers.

They damn well better lay their asses off.
We’re tired of the normal spinless ‘say one thing and do another’ wimp party.
What about those promises to cancel Dorkbamacare?
We won’t hold our breath.

Not sure if anybody has hypothesized this.

But, What if the justification for all of these new IRS people is that they are going to for the end game/ gov power grab of going cashless?

100% pure electronic currency/ payments. Trackable in real time and location by gov.
