On Saturday Trump delivered a speech to his working class dupes that affirmed his commitment to the American aristocracy. He made a point of singling out a particular piece of his agenda that the privileged set salivates over&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;On day one I immediately halted the hiring of any new IRS agents.

He likely picked it up from his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, back in August of 2022, when Fox&#8217;s Brian Kilmeade, sitting in for Tucker Carlson, told a tale of <em>\u201cJoe Biden\u2019s new army,\u201d<\/em> that will <em>\u201chunt down and kill middle class taxpayers.\u201d<\/em> Of course, nothing like that ever existed.

The bulk of the funding was actually earmarked for replacing employees who resigned, for enhancing customer service, and for improving the agencies technologies. Most of the employee hiring that Trump is claiming to have halted would have affected those sort of administrative positions that make dealing with the IRS easier for everyone. A smaller amount would be spent on agents who audit taxpayers, and most of them would be in the higher income brackets.<\/p>\n<p>An <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.govexec.com\/management\/2024\/02\/irs-says-its-hiring-surge-and-funding-boost-could-generate-560b-more-it-thought\/393966\/\" target=\"_blank\">independent study showed<\/a><\/strong> that the new funding and staffing <em>&#8220;could lead to as much as $850 billion in new revenue over the next decade.&#8221;<\/em> And a recent report revealed that those benefits were already being realized. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/irs-recovers-1-billion-from-wealthy-taxpayers-audit-increase\/\" target=\"_blank\">CBS News reported<\/a><\/strong> that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The IRS said&#8230;that its plan to crack down on wealthy tax cheats is paying off, with the agency collecting more than $1 billion since targeting high-income earners who owe the government money. The joint announcement with the U.S. Treasury Department is meant to highlight that the IRS&#8217; $80 billion in funding from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act is helping to recoup revenue for the nation&#8217;s coffers.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s plan would significantly cut into federal revenues, making the deficit worse and reducing the funds available for critical services including policing the border, healthcare, law enforcement, preventing terrorism, aiding poor families and children, education, repairing crumbling infrastructure, and so much more.<\/p>\n<p>However, Trump&#8217;s plan would help him in his mission to abolish taxes in favor of tariffs, that would shift the burden of the budget demands to lower and middle class citizens. The result would be huge tax cuts for the wealthy, along with free rein to cheat on whatever taxes remain for them pay. Is that what Trump campaigned on? Is that what his cult followers voted for?<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=64849\" target=\"_blank\">Tyrant Trump Decrees that it is Verboten for Government to Call Out Mis- and Disinformation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=64392\" target=\"_blank\">Grifter-in-Chief Trump Puts His Truth Social Stock into a Phony Trust Controlled by His Son<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=64379\" target=\"_blank\">UH-OH: Even Fox News Calls Out the Unelected Billionaire \u2018Calling the Shots\u2019 in Place of Trump<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there is anyone who is still unsure about who Donald Trump is working for, the Grifter-in-Chief himself is making it clear enough that only his most gullible, brainwashed cult disciples will remain blinded by his brazen bullshittery.
