So why are the Democrats continuing to use the bill to extort 87,000 new IRS agents (to harass and audit Republicans)?
Why not omit the expanded IRS spending, and pass the bill?

The Democrats' lie is that "Republicans are trying to give a tax break to the rich".
But we all know that the IRS won't be going after billionaires (who have tax lawyers and accountants who can find loopholes, or go to court to avoid payment.)

No, these will be used to audit conservative activist groups, conservative campaign donors, conservative media reporters, and middle class and blue collar taxpayers, who don't have the resources to fight IRS audits or fines.
I read an article years ago, about how IRS targets waiters, bartenders, and other tip-earning professions, because they are captive to the IRS. Whereas a factory owner can always move his business to a more tax-friendly state, or to Mexico or the Phillipines to avoid more taxes.
THAT'S why, against the Democrats' lying narrative, the IRS will never go after billionaires, as they allege the new IRS agents are for.

So let's dispense with the B.S.
