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.

And of course, it doesn't matter.

Any lie that feeds the rage and paranoia is a good thing for the jihad.

This is not news. This is not true. This is just more (wrong) opinion by another leftynut such as yourself.

Look up the word "opinion" and get back to us when you find any legit source for your exciting news.
 
You lie, I think we all know why. ^^^ this clown is saying you can cheat on your taxes if you make less than $400k :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg:
Um...retard?

Audits of people who earn more than a million dollars dropped by 75 percent between 2015 and 2019.

That's where the money is, dipshit.

Your Walmart income wouldn't even be a drop in the bucket.
 

Ten years ago, in fiscal 2012, the budget justification shows that the IRS had 95,519 full-time employees and the Barack Obama administration sought an increase of about 5,000, including nearly 3,000 in enforcement, for a total of about 100,000.

[snip]

By fiscal 2013, after more continuing resolutions, the number of IRS employees had dropped to 91,555. This time, the administration requested an increase to about 97,000.

[snip]

There was more attrition, and more continuing resolutions, so the total IRS staff stood at about 78,000 in fiscal 2017, when Donald Trump became president.

[snip]

The cuts proposed by Trump were not entirely embraced by Congress, but staffing still fell to about 75,000 in 2018.

[snip]

Staffing dropped to about 74,500 in 2019. Then there was a slow increase to 75,612 in fiscal 2020 and 75,923 in fiscal 2021.

[snip]

“The IRS lost more than 33,378 full-time personnel between FY 2010 and FY 2020, including more than 13,388 key enforcement personnel,” the document says. “These losses included revenue agents and revenue officers, who audit tax returns and perform collection activities, as well as special agents who investigate tax-related crimes and other issues. The number of examining revenue agents, who handle complex enforcement cases, fell by 35 percent, and field collection revenue officers, who manage difficult collections cases, dropped by 48 percent.”

[snip]

Natasha Sarin, Treasury counselor for tax policy and implementation, told the Fact Checker that more than half of the IRS staff — 50,000 — is eligible for retirement in the next five years.

[snip]

IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig said the agency will need to “replace more than 50,000 workers lost through attrition over the next six years.”

Sarin said the IRS workforce is so old because there is essentially a missing generation since the agency has not been able to hire for the past 10 years. Even with new hiring, there will be a steep learning curve. According to the GAO, “it takes 4 to 5 years to train a new hire to become an experienced senior or expert revenue officer.”

[snip]

Meanwhile, CBO Director Phillip L. Swagel in September wrote a blog post that explained how $80 billion in new spending for the IRS was estimated to raise an additional $200 billion in revenue over 10 years.
 
They're not gonna believe anything unless less it comes from MAGA media. Nothing. The walls of the alternate universe are only getting thicker.

We know not to believe anything from the little Goebbels without independent verification.

The fact is that Guno is a rabid America hating hack and posts only the absurd leftists shit.
