  1. They’re really mad that the increases of the workforce under the Biden Admin worked so well. Audits on households making millions per year increased and the IRS uncovered billions of dollars in back taxes that rich people had tried to cheat out of. They’re furious.

  2. Do the math. With 161,000,000 million federal tax returns filed, that means each of the 90,000 IRS employees are responsible for 1,789 returns.
    Of course, not all of these employees review returns. Many are service personnel responding to taxpayer queries.
    Reduce any of these, and you can expect slower response times and delayed refunds, or even worse, tax fraud goes undetected because audits will be drastically reduce.
    How does this make government more efficient and effective?
    It doesn’t.

  3. There is a bigger picture goal here . TRUMP;s tariff taxes are hidden national sales taxes on the imported content of products we buy . The next move is a national sales taxes on every thing we buy . Then declaring the income tax collections by the IRS dysfunctional to eliminate the Income tax and the IRS .
