Biden Hides the IRS Attacks On the Poor, Claims GOP is Protecting Billionaires with New Bill

The new Republican majority in congress set about moving to undo some of the legislation created by Democrats, including the infusion of $80 billion into the IRS, 57 percent of which goes to “enforcement,” and the hiring of 87,000 new IRS agents.
While Republicans called this move out as a naked attempt at terrorizing Americans, Democrats responded by claiming this was about going after the wealthiest Americans, though Democrat Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland gave the game away by telling Americans that they had nothing to fear from this supercharged IRS if they just complied.
The Biden administration is already threatening that President Biden will veto the GOP bill that strips the IRS of its billions. According to Fox News, Biden reiterated that this bill is just for the wealthiest Americans and used the old class-struggle talk about how the GOP is trying to protect billionaires:
“Far from protecting middle-class families or small businesses, H.R. 23 protects wealthy tax cheats at the expense of honest, middle-class taxpayers,” the White House said in a statement. “With their first economic legislation of the new Congress, House Republicans are making clear that their top economic priority is to allow the rich and multi-billion dollar corporations to skip out on their taxes, while making life harder for ordinary, middle-class families that pay the taxes they owe. That’s their agenda; not lowering costs or cutting taxes for hardworking Americans – as President Biden has consistently advocated.”
