[basquebromance]

Fox News has promoted the false claim that the Inflation Reduction Act adds 87,000 employees to the Internal Revenue Service at least 203 times as the network campaigns against the IRS on behalf of wealthy tax cheats.

Wealthy tax cheats? Poor folks get audited by the IRS, far more than the wealthy.

IRS Audits Poorest Families at Five Times the Rate for Everyone Else

There was plenty of IRS agents to address the "wealthy" if that is what was desired.

There were plenty of agents to deal with the upper-income. But shaking down poor schmucks like you and I required another 87,000 of them, because there are far more poor folks than there rich.

The thing is, they will never be able to hire that many but that doesn't make it any better.

The IRS will lower the qualifications.

The IRS is a clusterfuck. Even with 87,000 more agents, they'd still be that.

Hey commie, name one person that said they want to protect "tax cheats". Otherwise you can admit you're a liar and just trolling.

I always find it amazing when people on the left claim that the wealthy are "tax cheats" when their expensive CPA's and accountants are actually following tax laws and paying as little taxes as possible. It's not cheating on taxes when you are playing by the rules. Therefore, the IRS is not going to collect much from the wealthy for following tax laws to their advantage.

It is tragic that the Western States were strategically attacked by the political snakes to get people like this elected. Snakes in states that should be reliability of the other party. Ever election easily should have the Senate with 60 Repubs. And that is with no pressures on them.

It's not hard to find outrageous untrue claims by democrat candidates. The question is whether we are going to see this crap for the next 65 days or so. The truth is that Pelosi is worth millions, former president Obama who came aboard with a couple of hundred dollars is worth 100 million and with few exceptions every billionaire is a democrat and protected by the Biden administration.
