The house bill is an absolute joke. The conservative mind set has somehow convinced people that the IRS Budget is the the problem .

Okay first.
Changing the IRS budget WILL NOT LOWER YOUR TAXES. The average American does not have the time, resource, or diversity in income to cheat on there taxes. The vast majority 85% of Americans pay there fair share no matter the budget of the IRS.

Why cutting IRS Is a play for the rich.
The IRS like any organization ensures that it’s most difficult task (which is taxation of massive corporations and the rich) is done my the top paid and most experienced members of the organization it takes massive amounts of time and effort to ensure the wealthy are paying their fair share. Decreasing the ability of the IRS to function only makes it easier for those well of individuals to get away with a few million unnoticed tax dollars.

If your in a YouTube comment section somehow defending the idea that a smaller IRS IS some how going to help you understand that the only reason the government exists in the first place is because the IRS is capable of doing at least some of its duties. Stop advocating for the destruction of your own country just to benefit those who don’t need you.

Key note the IRS budget in 2022 was 13.8 billion dollars. So unless speaker Johnson wants to complete destroy the American government this is going to pay for anything
