IRS says it ‘absolutely’ will not increase audit scrutiny on middle-income Americans

Somebody check the bullshit meter real quick!
Remember that $600 a year thing that was enacted in 2021? That is what those 87K IRS dirtbags will be looking at. Going through piles of info from people’s checking accounts and CC statements. “Hmm, what was this check for?”
I still cannot believe 87,000 IRS scum are going to be hired. That is mind-boggling.
If money is power 87,000 IRS Agents is the Gestapo.
Ive READ…cant swear to it…that just those 87,000 alone are EIGHT TIMES MORE than the number of Border Patrol Agents.
Also…cant confirm…but read that the British Army only has 81,000 members, for comparison.
True or not- the demonrat party has & is actively destroying the United States as we knew it.
I thought the $600/bank account thing did not pass
The majority of IRS audits according are at a rate of 5x more for the working poor vs the rich. The majority of those are in the rural south. Pretty much because these folks can’t afford $$$ to fight back against the IRS. But, if they promised not to target that group more, it must be true.
They snuck in the $600 IRS reporting thing in a stimulus bill:
It’s because we are the new enemy of the state and the IRS is their “civilian army” that BHO has been wanting. They may not be able to load us all on trains yet but they are working on breaking us financially.
Yes it was part of the “American Rescue Plan Act of 2021” and was signed into law by Xiden. IIRC it was mostly concerning PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, and such but I believe they could look at checks that had been written to people or companies also.
Relax, boys! They’re only going after those evil rich people. We’re fine.
I don’t believe anything the IRS or any government agency tells me. I got audited years ago, they even went through all my bank statements. When she was done I asked the irs agent if everything was ok. She said Everything seems fine.
2 weeks later I got a bill for 3 grand.
Right, I do remember the one passing for online payment services. But there was another one where they were gonna check your bank account, I don’t believe that one passed. If it did that sucks because even cash you deposit into your bank account would be subject to IRS scrutiny.
More like 4x the amount of BPA’s, but still…
I wonder who/what will be targeted. Conservatives seem pretty obvious, in addition to 2A advocates, Christian people, Republicans, Libertarians, proponents of small government/Constitutionalists, etc. Small businesses, also.
What about crypto investors? Private contractors? Freelance writers/authors? Delivery drivers? People running an eBay store?
The list is boundless.
Any way you slice it, it looks pretty bad … 
Well at least that’s 89,000 more people I can cease giving any sort of a shit about
And they tell me every year that I’m so small a microbusiness I don’t need to cut checks and file returns because I cost them more in processing my payments than I generate as revenue making them.
Anybody wanna take a guess what’ll happen if I take them up on it? These people have masturbatory fantasies of jaming up anyone and everyone they can by hook or crook… The IRS, our national Ex-Wife From Hell.
Yep, under 20k boarder patrol agents in 2020….
I’m all for people paying their taxes, but illegal immigration is a far bigger economic crime.
When Trump wins, just hand them all a BP jacket and say “Good hunting”.
Just think about it, that is essentially 1,500+ NEW IRS workers PER STATE. More than doubling the size of the IRS. According to the article below, that is way more employees than the Pentagon, Border Patrol, State Dept and FBI COMBINED!!! It isn’t and can’t be just the “rich” they are going to go after. Plus look at all the weapons and ammo they bought over the last couple years… I really wonder just want kind of Build Back Better they have in mind for this country. Something like a slave state. When “Them” talk about “Their Democracy”, it certainly isn’t anything like or close to what was designed by our forefathers. 
The IRS has a documented history of lying. And racism. And abuse of audit powers for political purposes, specifically for the left and against the right.
So, THAT just happened! :rolleyes:
Except that’s NOT what will happen. Red states will get 3,000 new agents and blue states will get none. Want proof?

The IRS is both racist and classist towards the poor. They’re the quintessential bully, picking on those least able to defend themselves. :mad:
The Bureau of Prisons has the most employees in the DOJ. According to the BOP.gov website, they have 36,697 employees in 122 facilities.
