Just how bad is the Biden administration and Democrat Congress's grossly misnamed "Inflation Reduction Act" of 2022?
The Wall Street Journal has a shocking lead editorial titled "The IRS is About to Go Beast Mode" about the particulars of its $80 billion expansion of the IRS, which is six times the size of the tax agency's current $12.6 billion budget:
The $80 billion is more than six times the current annual IRS budget of $12.6 billion. The money will be ladled out over nine years and comes with few strings attached. The main Democratic command is for the tax agency to bring the hammer down on taxpayers.

If I could, I'd abolish the whole thing and go to a flat tax.

You won’t need coffee to wake up if you read this.
My only question: is this a Xiden scheme, or is this coming from The Kommittee?

That many new agents - you know they aren't going for the top of the pile where the big money hides, they go after the little people and their retirement savings. Pelosi level of in-your-face money-grubbing gets a pass.

This for an agency that still hasn't given my son his 2020 tax refund or stimulus payment!

I’m guessing the IRS is about to shutdown all the conservative PACs and political organizations just like Lois Lerner did for Obama. They will freeze assets so the money can’t be used during 2022 and 2024 campaigns.

Is this why the IRS bought 5 million rounds of ammo? At what point do taxpayers get shot?

Perhaps they will crackdown on all those people getting free healthcare. The federal government is over 30 trillion in debt. They are going to look for ways to recoup that.
This is just another way citizens lose their rights and freedoms.

I'm sure the next Executive Order Biden signs will be the requirement that every business in America employ at least one IRS agent to permanently oversee the businesses day to day (political) operations. Very similar to the Soviet Union embedding KGB agents in to every aspect of Soviet life. Sound familiar?

The IRS could start by collecting the back taxes owed by it's own employes. I have read 50% of IRS employees are in default on their taxes. They could also collect from moochers like Al Sharpton who owes millions. Surely there are many others who are in default. We should demand collection of those debts before they go after the average Joe citizen to fill the coffers. No one has any money left after groceries, gas and necessities under Biden!

Are they finally going to bring the hammer down on Al Sharpton who still owes over $4 million in back taxes? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

The Taxstapo is a fascist agency that can declare you guilty until proven innocent, confiscate your private property, imprison you, even send armed thugs that will kill you if you resist. The Demzi's favorite agency. Even higher than the DOJ Stazi.
Liberty and Justice for all, unless the Demzis have something against you.

#5, I am told that IRS Enforcement Agents are armed.
This addition of so many IRS employees is interesting. Will they go after charitable donations? If a taxpayer donates used clothing to the IRS and makes a charitable deduction for that, the IRS, up until now, only requires a receipt from the charity.
Dementia Jo and Adulterous Jill have a record almost bereft of charitable contributions. Will the IRS crack down on this area, demanding proof of purchase of the used clothing contributed? Will the IRS challenge the taxpayer-assigned value of the contributions, up until now, unchallenged?
Will the IRS go after family foundations, which might be used to evade taxes? Will the IRS go after the Clinton Foundation to see if Chelsea's 10 million dollar wedding was paid for with foundation funds? (I know - silly of me to mention the Clinton Foundation.)
The final area has to do with earned income credit and child tax credit. If you watch Judge Judy, you will learn of schemes for women to trade child tax credits with gentlemen friends. Judge Judy just shakes her head, and you will, too.
Finally, early on in Barack's presidency, he proposed making a tax reporting requirement for the sale of precious metals, in an amount 600 dollars or more. Will the IRS do that? Barack let the proposal fade away.

Not one Republican has ever made a serious move to disband this organization, whose purpose is to produce pure drag on the economy, harming our competitiveness as a nation and wasting an incredible amount of time and money (accountants, tax attorneys, making decisions based on tax implications instead of rational business or personal reasons).

No Republican anywhere will mention this. Neither will any of our candidates. Guess what that means.

"I’m guessing the IRS is about to shutdown all the conservative PACs and political organizations just like Lois Lerner did for Obama. They will freeze assets so the money can’t be used during 2022 and 2024 campaigns."
You're right. Obama wants lots of Lois Lerners so he is proposing a 600% increase the IRS budget.
If you are a conservative PAC - audit
If you make a donation to a Republican - audit
If your corporation donates to a conservative PAC or Republican Party - audit
If you join the NRA - audit

The IRS will increase their salaries, build themselves new offices, buy new computers and vehicles. It will be a grand party.
