IRS says it ‘absolutely’ will not increase audit scrutiny

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
