taxes
October 23, 2022:
The GOP’s warnings on the subject of the IRS are generally alarmist and misleading. The agency is not hiring an army of 87,000 “new agents” to target low- and middle-class Americans. Many hires will be used to replace some 50,000 IRS employee retirements in coming years. Others will become customer service representatives answering taxpayer phone calls. In my research of it I was rather disheartened to find out that the GOP right wing liars outnumber the truth by a fairly large margin. Disheartening because many of these misinformed people are elected officials. Including the House Ways and Means Republicans. I will submit some of their articles below.
