The Democrats\u2019 tax-and-spend bill making its way through the senate adds 87,000 new IRS agents to an already politicized agency.<\/p>\n
The so-called \u2018Inflation Reduction Act\u2019 will give $79.6 billion to the IRS<\/a> over the next 10 years.<\/p>\n The Wall Street Journal<\/a> said the new army of IRS agents will target the middle and upper-middle class.<\/p>\n Senator Richard \u2018Da Nang Dick\u2019 Blumenthal (D-CT) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Sunday morning appeared on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d to discuss Biden\u2019s massive spending bill.<\/p>\n \nTRENDING:<\/strong> EXCLUSIVE: Unmasking the Biden-Harris Administration’s International Human Trafficking Disaster – Interviews with Illegal Migrants<\/a>\n<\/p>\n Lindsey Graham laughed as Senator Blumenthal mocked Americans rightfully concerned about a new army of 87,000 IRS agents.<\/p>\n \u201cThe idea that there\u2019s gonna be this army of IRS agents descending on the average American is just preposterous,\u201d Blumenthal said as Lindsey Graham laughed and nodded in agreement.<\/p>\n WATCH:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n According to new analysis, the IRS audits the poor at 5 times the rate of everyone else, CBS News reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tax season is a fraught time for taxpayers, who are understandably eager to get their refunds quickly and who may fret that processing hiccups could delay their checks. But some Americans may have more grounds for concern than others: low-income households with less than $25,000 in annual earnings.<\/p>\n This group is five times as likely to be audited by the IRS as everyone else, according to a new analysis of IRS data by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University. About 13 tax returns out of 1,000 filed by those earning less than $25,000 were audited in the fiscal year ended September 30, compared with a rate of 2.6 for every 1,000 returns for people with incomes above $25,000, TRAC found.<\/p>\n The reason is a rise in what are known as \u201ccorrespondence audits,\u201d a review of a tax return that\u2019s typically handled by the IRS via letters and phone calls, as opposed to the typically more complex face-to-face audits. More than half of the correspondence audits initiated by the IRS last year involved low-income people who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), TRAC found.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The IRS also has a history of targeting conservative groups.<\/p>\n Lois Lerner, the controversial director of the tax-exempt organizations division at the Internal Revenue Service, has a long sordid history of targeting conservatives.<\/p>\n Under the direction of Lois Lerner, the Federal Election Commission\u00a0sued the Christian Coalition<\/a>\u00a0in the 1990s. She\u00a0harassed the Christian Coalition<\/a>\u00a0for three election cycles. Eventually, she lost her case. At one point Lerner even asked a targeted conservative if Pat Robertson prayed over him. (Sound\u00a0familiar<\/a>?)<\/p>\n Conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch obtained<\/a> IRS documents in 2018 revealing backstabber Senator John McCain\u2019s former staff director urged the IRS, including the corrupt Lois Lerner to engage in \u201cfinancially ruinous\u201d targeting of conservative Tea Party groups.<\/p>\n And they did.<\/strong><\/p>\n The\u00a0IRS Conservative Targeting Scandal<\/a>\u00a0involved:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n via The Gateway Pundit <\/p>\n August 8, 2022 at 06:25AM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lindsey Graham Nods in Agreement as ‘Da Nang Dick’ Blumenthal Mocks Americans For Being Freaked Out Over an Army of 87,000 New IRS Agents (VIDEO) https:\/\/ift.tt\/doy1Uw9 The Democrats\u2019 tax-and-spend bill making its way through the senate adds 87,000 new IRS agents to an already politicized agency.
