IRS more than doubling the size of its workforce

[CDDP]

Not good.


Tucked away in the hilariously-named “Inflation Reduction Act” that Joe Manchin has been working on with Chuck Schumer is one significant bit of spending that has been mostly flying under the radar. The measure would fund a massive expansion of the Internal Revenue Service to the tune of eighty billion dollars. And we’re not using the word “massive” in a hyperbolic fashion here. This money would go toward hiring an additional 87,000 employees for the detested agency, more than doubling the size of its workforce.

Trouble is, it raises taxes on almost everybody.

Promises made... you fell for that?

I enjoy paying more in taxes. Taxes are a part of a civilized society.

The more taxes you pay the better society is.
