[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The IRS will now be larger than the State Dept., the FBI, and the Customs and Border Patrol combined.

Shows where the Democrats' priorities are.  And, they are NOT the priorities of the American people.  [/quote]

Why do you support tax cheaters?

Have you tried calling the IRS in the past three years? You sit on hold for an hour and then they cut you off. There is no way to follow-up when you get a dreaded "clarification letter" and in the meanwhile tax cheats are getting away with a collective BILLIONS of dollars.[/quote]

Let's get something straight.  They are more than doubling the size of the IRS.  And, I will pretty much guarantee you that more employees will not improve service when you call them.  And, yes, I have called the IRS - 2 years ago.  Didn't wait long and I received a prompt answer to my question.  
It is not about tax cheaters.  When you receive notice of an IRS audit, the prudent thing to do is to contact an accountant/tax attorney to be an advocate or to be sure everything is in order.  Big companies have these people on the payroll.  The average American doesn't and many don't have the resources to pay for them.  You could do everything right, and still have to pay thousands out of pocket because the IRS wants to scrutinize your tax return.

This is just a really poor way to spend tax payer's money.  More border agents... yep.  More police officers .... yep.  Increased pay for military.... yep.

The priorities of this administration is just so out of touch with most Americans.  And, I sincerely hope they suffer in the midterms and 2024 as a result of this bill and all the other crap they have (and haven't) done.  [/quote]

[b]They are basically restoring the IRS employment levels to where it had been before it was gutted.[/b]

And most of those jobs are going to be in red states, so that should make you happy.[/quote]

You need to provide a citation for this statement.  And, a credible one - not some random twitter user who says it. 
Because - I don't believe you.  [/quote]

Not a single one of your sources indicates that the staffing at the IRS was EVER more than double it is now.  
You thought we wouldn't check your sources. 
Quit lying.  [/quote]
Again, the hiring is for over ten years. At no time will the size of the IRS be double what it is now. And people talking about the size of the IRS shrinking are using terms relevant to other factors, like population and/or the size of the economy.[/quote]
