Forty_Niners 11/02/23 6:48:22 PM #1:	2 Republicans voted against defunding the IRS. I'm unsure it mattered either way, even with the addition of 12 Dems, they only get to 208 votes and Republicans had 214. Seems like several House members didn't participate in the vote. I'm curious as to what reasons those 12 Democrats would vote in favor of defunding the IRS, giving Republicans a win in the process would be. And if they're more blue dog assholes, hopefully this gets them primaried. --- Who cares if Bosa is racist? <cite>Forty_Niners posted [p:977000149] in 12 Democra...

Most here actually pay their taxes and don't have the resources to dodge paying their taxes. I don't care where you lean on the political scale. Most here don't have taxes so incredibly complex, the IRS would have a difficult time prosecuting hence why they need more resources. The rich however does, hence why they don't want the IRS funded. Since majority of Republicans back the rich, it goes without saying why they don't want the IRS having the resources to actually audit the rich and their taxes. <cite>asdf8562 posted [p:977011161] in 12 Democra...

Using that to justify cutting their funds makes as much sense as Bush cutting funding for under performing schools and expecting it to improve the school's academic performance. <cite>darkace77450 posted [p:977011263] in 12 Democra...

The IRS was actually funded MORE last tax season and it increased people's ability to get their taxes done/refunds back faster as well as made more money by being able to audit wealthier people. People saying stupid shit like this is "based" are clueless. --- Rage is a hell of an anesthetic. <cite>Heineken14 posted [p:977011342] in 12 Democra...

No accountants want to go work for the irs, its considered bottom of the barrel work. probably because the pay for amount of work required is shit --- I could see you, but I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen... <cite>thronedfire2 posted [p:977012204] in 12 Democra...
