House Republicans pass bill to cut funding for IRS

Democrat Bobby Scott said the bill will "protect wealthy tax cheats," But Republican Jen Kiggans said it would protect middle-class families.

There should be a law that says organizations that donate to politicians are automatically audited

[geewheeler]

no one that makes under 150, 000 should have to pay income taxes. We pay a lot in sales tax and property tax but having to file taxes every year needs to stop. We show never be audited. If it is under 150, 000 then leave us alone.

You send/receive a whopping $600 over the entire year triggers an audit. Do you think thats for the rich that can afford fancy loopholes, or the sap that just had a garage sale or friends reimburse for the restaurant? You dont need 80, 000 armed agents to audit 1%. You need 80, 000 armed agents to audit your enemies. Lois Learner would blush.

The IRS is unconstitutional anyway because the federal income tax is unconstitutional.

Yes! Love her! Reduce the government in our lives! 🎉

I mean, can't they just print the money they need and give it to their friends to spend first?

[joshhoward]

Fair Tax Act! Replace income tax with a consumption tax. Eliminate fed tax filings, eliminate audits. Everyone pays their fair share (based on consumption)!!!

Won't pass the senate, and Biden won't sign it. Waste of time.

Oh no, how will the IRS ever keep up with the new law targeting people who work for tips and retired person whose life savings gives them more than $600 in dividends. What .... most people have never heard of this because they don't actually read bills like the American rescue Act passed by Democrats. Don't worry, it won't be enforced this tax season but the records from this season will have to be filed on next year taxes.

Why are we paying for our tax refunds?!

[bigbengamer]

Money will never come out of politics, because how else you gonna legally launder your money in front of the public eye without them realizing it?

[tiredofthetyranny]

Just a sham show it won’t go anywhere!!!

[timothyf]

There should be a law that AUDITS EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL Yearly, while holding office! That is the direction to go if you want REAL results!

[nickpacitti]

The party of grifters gets off tax free🤬🤬🤬

[MMAnderson]

All I heard was the general population is too stupid to really understand what is going on frfr.

[jimfleming]

Defund the IRS.This goverment is so beyond horribly irresponsible for other peoples money anyway.And it’s hardly something new.

[JohnDoe-wypy]

Wait....
80 BILLION DOLLARS sounds reasonable to me 🤪

[jisezer]

With this plan no one is going to get their refund.

[yuhanzhang]

It is really not a good news. In 2021, it took 9 months before I got my tax refund. I was missing a document; mailed to IRS, twice, with a tracking number, and watching my mail stuck at the doorstep of IRS. They didn't get enough accountants working, and the office was apparently closed until September.
