The Left is trying to double the power of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). While the $600 threshold may have been stripped from the budget reconciliation bill, for now, Congress has not gotten rid of doubling the size and funding for the IRS in this bill. What exactly would this mean? An increased funding of $80 billion dollars and adding 87,000 new enforcement agents. They are creating an entirely new bureaucracy to have the bandwidth to spy on every single American.
ACLJ Chief Counsel, and my dad, Jay Sekulow explained what is still left in this bill:
"What is really troubling here in this bill is that while this $600 threshold may be eliminated . . . you get 87,000 new agents . . . this is going to increase the IRS’s ability to be intrusive into your lives. Take that also with the fact that his same bill has a provision in it that also strips any kind of this funding that is going to go to infrastructure cannot go to religious institutions. So, it can’t go to a church that needs to increase its childcare facilities to help its local community. . . . This bill is chock-full of problems, but the top of the problem is 8 billion dollars to the IRS a year doubles in essence, you know 80 percent of their budgets increase. It is going to create nothing but havoc. We know the intent was . . . and the intent was you get into everybody’s individual checking account."
Even with the elimination of the $600 threshold, doubling the size of the IRS is essentially going to lead to the same problems. ACLJ Director of Government Affairs Thann Bennett reiterated the ramifications of this bill for everyday Americans:
"It is just another way of accomplishing the exact same thing. . . . Out of that $80 billion, about $45 billion would be targeted for enforcement and used to hire approximately 87,000 new agents. It’s a little bit scarier even than that. . . . If that $45 billion was used to hire 87,000 agents, do you know what the annual budget for each of those agents would be to enforce tax law? It would be about $515,000 for every one of those agents. If that’s not another way of accomplishing the very same thing, I don’t know what is."
We’re already in federal court over the IRS. We’ve issued a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and filed a lawsuit against IRS to get to the bottom of this. We have to keep the pressure on because we already know what the IRS will do if it doubles its size – target Christians and conservatives.
