Supersizing an incompetent, unaccountable IRS

The reconciliation bill Democrats rushed through congress calls for $80 billion in new IRS funding so the agency can hire as many as 87,000 new agents and auditors. That quantity is enough to fill every seat in Washington’s Nationals Park twice.

Democrats are doubling the size of the IRS, with most of the new money going into its enforcement arm. The bill provides 14 times as much funding for “enforcement” — as in fishing expedition audits — than it does for “taxpayer services” such as answering the phone.

It is dangerous to give an unaccountable and incompetent agency this much power over families and small businesses.
