Another Republican Lie Is Born

Another Republican lie is born

Let’s consider the lie, endlessly repeated by Republicans and the Fox News-led echo chamber, that new legislation enacted by Democrats funds the hiring of “87,000 armed IRS agents.” Like the “death panel” fabrication during the Obamacare debate, this is a whole-cloth invention designed to stoke paranoia.

Sen. Rick Scott (Fla.), head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, sent an open letter last week warning Americans not to work for the IRS. He falsely claimed that the Democrats’ climate, energy and tax bill would add “roughly 87,000 agents” at the IRS, creating “an IRS super-police force”:

“The IRS made it very clear that one of the ‘major duties’ of these new positions is to ‘be willing to use deadly force.’ … The IRS is making it very clear that you not only need to be ready to audit and investigate your fellow hardworking Americans, your neighbors and friends, you need to be ready and, to use the IRS’s words, willing, to kill them.”

The IRS certainly isn’t adding 87,000 armed agents. It isn’t even adding 87,000 agents. In fact, it’s not even adding 87,000 employees.

When you figure in attrition (current funding doesn’t let the IRS fill all vacancies), Treasury officials tell me, the expected increase in personnel would be more like 40,000, over the course of a decade — which would merely restore IRS staffing to around the 117,000 it had in 1990.


Only about 6,500 of the new hires would be “agents.” The rest would be customer-service representatives, data specialists and the like.

And fewer than 1 percent of the new hires would be armed.


One of the great mysteries of modern times is why the tard herd keeps going back to the same propagandists over and over and over to be lied to.

They BEG to be lied to, and so they DESERVE to be lied to.
Your post just gave birth to another Democrat lie.

Speaking of lies how about that blatant lie Potatohead told the American people yesterday that he knew nothing of the raid on Trump before hand?

That was despicable blatant lie, wasn't it?

Are you interested in learning more of Potatohead's lies? I have a long list if you are interested.

You Moon Bats are never interested in the truth, are you?
 
Twenty arrested, charged in "Operation Shut Down Corner" | Internal Revenue Service

Twenty alleged drug dealers and their associates have been arrested and charged in "Operation Shut Down Corner," announced U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Chad E. Meacham.

The operation – which involved more than 150 agents and officers from the North Texas OCEDTF Strike Force – focused on Hamilton Park, a north Dallas neighborhood that has long been plagued by crime driven by a violent gang known as the Hamilton Park Posse.

During the investigation, DEA agents and their law enforcement partners seized 37 guns, 220 lbs. of drugs (including cocaine, fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills, methamphetamine, and marijuana), $420,000 in assets (including U.S. currency, vehicles, and jewelry).

Twenty-one defendants have been charged in two indictments alleging a variety of crimes, including conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, conspiracy to distribute cocaine, maintaining drug involved premises, using cell phones to facilitate the distribution of controlled substances, and possession of firearms in furtherance of drug trafficking crimes. (One defendant remains a fugitive.)

Many of the defendants arrested in Operation Shut Down Corner have extensive criminal histories and have faced charges including aggravated assault, battery, robbery, theft, forgery, drug possession, weapon possession, and terroristic threats.




Are you tards feeling really stupid yet?

I’m confused; other than these raids and arrests being detailed on the IRS website, what do they have to do with the IRS or taxes?

The only purpose I see for these cases being reported on the IRS website is to highlight the money and assets seized in the operations. I didn’t see anything to suggest that the IRS was actually involved in the raids or the investigations.

The reason the IRS doesn't need staffing at 1990 levels is efile has reduced their paperwork load to next to nothing compared to then. There's no need to manually review paper filings. That's why refunds can be processed in a couple of weeks instead of months like it use to be.

Republicans believe this tripe.

The Nazi party found that 87,000 new IRS agents didn't poll well, so vermin like Guno and you started lying about it.



You got caught sneaking this shit into the Green Raw Deal that explodes inflation, the Biden Inflation Expansion Act.
