Big Blitz Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) President Yellen knows exactly what they're doing: Janet Yellen Begs IRS Not to Target Middle-Class Americans After Democrats Greenlight Audits President Joe Biden’s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is now begging the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) not to target working and middle-class Americans after Senate Democrats voted down a measure that would have banned such practices. On Sunday, Senate Democrats passed the “Inflation Reduction Act” which includes $80 billion for the IRS to conduct widespread “enforcement” and “criminal investigations” via audits into American taxpayers. Democrats, on a party-line vote, voted down Sen. Mike Crapo’s (R-ID) amendment that would have banned any of the new IRS funds from being used to target Americans earning less than $400,000 annually. Crapo said the amendment ensured that President Joe Biden would not break his promise to not raise taxes on Americans earning less than $400,000 a year. Instead, Democrats tried to include language that only suggested the IRS not to go after working and middle-class Americans with more audits — vowing “nothing in this subsection is intended to increase taxes on any taxpayer with a taxable income below $400,000.” That language though, Breitbart News is told by officials on the Senate Finance Committee, was taken out of the finalized version of the bill. Now, the bill includes no requirements, or even suggestions, that the IRS not target working and middle-class Americans. Yellen, as a result, has written a letter to the IRS Commissioner pleading with the agency not to go after Americans earning $400,000 or less annually. “Specifically, I direct that any additional resources … shall not be used to increase the share of small business or households below the $400,000 threshold that are audited relative to historical levels,” Yellen wrote. Already, White House Council of Economic Advisers member Jared Bernstein has said the administration cannot guarantee that no Americans earning under $400,000 a year will be audited by the IRS with the new funds. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/08/11/janet-yellen-begs-irs-not-to-target-middle-class-americans-after-democrats-greenlight-audits/ The nuclear code raid on Mar a Lago was a convenient distraction from this monstrosity. Inflation Reduction Act. Lol lol. Edited August 12, 2022 by Big Blitz 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even knowing how to balance a checkbook? Or being able to turn on Turbo Tax? These are jobs to ensure adherence to the tax code? Reads more like a goon squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) Dems had a chance to prove this isn’t for lower income and middle class Americans by voting for the amendment that limits the new audits to those making over $400k.

If you have 100k agents and they do 10 audits a year than each of those people will be audited once every three years. Talk about a quick way to destroy any support.

Precision Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) This was an unforced error by the Democrats. IRS agents probably rank in popularity somewhere between lawyers and used car salesmen. I've never been audited but can imagine it's likely as pleasant as being pulled over. The move reinforces the distrust between government and the American people. Edited August 13, 2022 by Precision 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Dems pass this monstrosity of a bill today, a Green New Deal Frankenstein debacle in order to say in all the sub headlines "in a win for Biden" lol lol And all people will remember or talk about is that they added 87,000 new IRS agents.
