IRS went after the poorest Americans.

The highlight of your link:

President Trump was holding the headcount of the executive agencies roughly flat through at least 2018. Then, the pandemic driven spending caused a massive federal hiring spree in FY2020.

Yeah, we on the right look for cheap excuses like a worldwide pandemic nobody in this country has ever seen before that killed millions and made hundreds of million very ill across the globe.

Was there a reason to grow government over that?

Nahhh, over a silly worldwide pandemic? We could have handled it without all those people locating, transporting and stocking PPE. We didn't need any silly scientists or doctors working on this problem paralyzing our country. The FDA? Let them work 24/7. It's not like we needed them as badly as we need IRS agents now. Our transportation departments? Screw them. If sick people get into the country, then they get in, who cares? Covid is in our country anyway. That's why we didn't need additional border and ICE agents either.

More cover for the rich, and less money recovered to pay our huge debt, or fund things needed by average Americans.

what things?

 

[DudleySmith]

We know they didn't bother auditing Trump like they were supposed to. Trump is just a symbol of the rich being treated differently than the poor though IMO.

Despite $80 billion in new funding, the agency is living up to its reputation of hassling low-income taxpayers over rich people.​

Is this an example of what Biden meant by making the rich pay their fair share?

In 2022, the IRS Went After the Very Poorest Taxpayers

It was Saint Ronald Of Reagan who started the whole sic the IRS on the poor schtick, which is why I ignore right wing bullshit claiming they 'hate the IRS' n stuff'; they love them as long as they avoid auditing Wall Street gamblers and harass waitresses and cab drivers. They're fine with big govt. as long as it does what they consider its real job, frucking over workers and poor folks. They like seeing them shot down in the streets like in the good old days of the Gilded Age up to FDR's election. It makes their suck ups feel special.

Don't need one, it's a matter of historical record. Here's one sample of the scumbag's new policies.

New Internal Revenue Service rules for reporting tips have become a nightmare for a Rochester waitress who said she owes the government more than she makes...

His tax increases also fell on the lower end of the food chain heaviest as well. Meanwhile he let all kinds of scammers and swindlers run amuck, while he focused on running drugs and guns and cutting deals with terrorists. The Too Stupid To Google Without Help can copy and paste "Reagan's Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982" if they need to know more.

um your link is about a rule requiring waitress to report their tips…not a tax increase. They were alway required to report all their income. that bill was written by Peter Stack a cali dem.

Given Democrat bills are always loaded with pork and vote buying, it's not funding things we need, it's funding the future for the Democrat party.

I posted a link when it was delayed. (not repealed). That's also not how it works. If you get 60 payments of $10 you would get the 1099 (until it was delayed).

Rubbish. As the article pionted out, her taxes were more than she made. You can go ahead and make up fake excuses for Reagan if you what, they will just be bullshit like the other 23 billion excuses made for his idiot criminal regime.

I don't recall any Republican bills that balanced any budgets either.
