A former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblower has said that the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will see the government target middle-income Americans with increased scrutiny and audits.
William Henck previously worked as a lawyer for the IRS for 20 years until 2017, when he was terminated for allegedly revealing sensitive information to the media about how the IRS had reportedly failed to identify a multi-billion-dollar corporate tax credit scheme involving a source of energy known as burning pulp byproducts, or black liquor.
Speaking to Fox Business, Henck disputed claims by the IRS and other officials who have said that increased funding for the agency under the IRA, which is set to be signed into law by President Joe Biden this week, would only lead to more audits for wealthy millionaires and billionaires and large corporations.
“The idea that they’re going to open things up and go after these big billionaires and large corporations is quite frankly [expletive],” Henck said in the interview on Aug. 15. “It’s not going to happen. They’re going to give themselves bonuses and promotions and really nice conferences.”
“The big corporations and the billionaires are probably sitting back laughing right now,” he said, adding that it was “insane” to double the IRS budget.
Henck also said he believes that the agency will go after businesses that don’t have enough money to hire Washington lobbyists.

The Democrat-controlled House passed the IRA in a strictly party-line vote on Aug. 12. It includes nearly $80 billion in IRS funding, including $45.6 billion for “enforcement.”
A Treasury Department report from May 2021 (pdf) estimated that such an investment would enable the agency to hire roughly 87,000 employees by 2031.

“There will be considerable incentive to basically to shake down taxpayers, and the advantage the IRS has is they have basically unlimited resources and no accountability, whereas a taxpayer has to weigh the cost of accountants, tax lawyers—fighting something in tax court,” he told Fox Business.
“If you own a roofing company, you better count on getting audited because that’s what they’re going to be doing,” he continued. “They’re going to be going after your car dealerships, roofing companies.”https://www.theepochtimes.com/former-irs-whisteblower-says-middle-class-americans-will-be-targeted-under-inflation-reduction-act_4667349.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=ZeroHedgeAs always...totalitarians always lie because they always want more power, more control...more wealth...and they are not shy about stealing it, just shy about how they execute it...
So, when those new 87,000 armed and eager to use deadly-force IRS agents come calling...they are coming for you, not the well-heeled, gated, armed security paying fat cats!!!
Time to shine bright lights on these bastards and start challenging them on every front possible!
And every state has to have its citizens press for support like this...or toss their state officials out on their ass whatever it takes -
Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis is urging state lawmakers to take up measures to counter a newly signed federal law that significantly increases Internal Revenue Service funding under the Inflation Reduction Act.
Patronis wants to require state-chartered banks to report IRS audits and wants to create a fund to help “small business owners” in tax court. He also wants IRS agents to be licensed and to impose criminal penalties against the IRS if they target people based on their viewpoints or politics.https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/politics/2022/08/17/florida-cfo-wants-counter-irs-after-biden-inflation-reduction-act/10342706002/The DeepState's puppets are being told to wage more war against the American people, on an un-American discriminatory basis as to economic status and political affiliation with an army of armed and eager thugs...states, counties, cities, townships...citizen groups and individual citizens need to meet these thugs head on.
