The IRS agent union today endorsed Kamala Harris for President.
“She supports the issues that matter most to our members,” said the IRS agent union president.
No doubt.
As Vice President, Harris cast the deciding vote to supersize the IRS, breaking the 50-50 Senate tie on the costly “Inflation Reduction Act” legislation.
And the Harris-proposed tax increases will kill jobs in the private sector but create jobs for IRS agents.
Agents certainly appreciate her call to make the IRS even larger and more powerful if she wins the presidency. Agents will be hired and deployed to implement the $5 trillion of tax increases Harris wishes to impose over the next decade.
She has proposed personal and small business income tax increases, a capital gains tax increase, a corporate tax rate increase, a Death Tax increase, a carbon tax, and several other new or higher taxes.
The IRS agent union gives nearly all of its political action committee funding to Democrats and Democrat party organs.
It gave 97% of its 2022 election cycle political contributions to Democrats, according to data published by Open Secrets.
$635,170 went to Democrats in the 2022 election cycle.
The IRS union PAC gave money to:
-Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee
-DNC Services Corporation
-Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
-Democratic State Central Committee/Maryland
-Dozens of House and Senate Democrats
The larger the IRS, the larger the IRS union and in turn, the larger the campaign coffers of Democrats. Taxpayers can see why the agents have selected Harris.
Harris and running mate Tim Walz received 100% on their IRS agent scorecards in most of their years in congress.
Walz is also a big tax-hiker and is keen to take it national. As Minnesota governor he blew through an $18 billion budget surplus and still managed to raise taxes on the middle class.
Walz looks under every rock to extract more money out of hard working Minnesotans. He doubled fees on middle class fishing boats and even raised kayak and canoe fees.
Walz said he was “very proud to have voted for cap and trade” — a bill to impose an enormous energy tax increase on the American people — while a member of congress.
Certainly the IRS agents know they have a friend in Tim Walz.
Meanwhile the IRS agent union is kicking and screaming at the thought of actually going into the office to work.
Even the progressive Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen expressed frustration about the union in congressional testimony this year, saying the agency couldn’t meet the 50% in-office standard because of the union.
