Joe Biden claimed that his $71 million cash infusion for the IRS budget and the 87,000 new IRS agents that comes with it was aimed at taking more tax money form “the rich.” That appears to be a lie as the IRS has just launched new reporting rules to take money from people who earn tips.
On Feb. 6, the tax agency posted a new memo to taxpayers to warn waitresses, waitstaff, taxi drivers, and people who work in the service industry who’s income is derived in part from tips, that they had better report their tips.
This is what the IRS is doing instead of targeting “the rich.”
The IRS, flush with a boosted enforcement budget that they totally promise is to go after rich people has… announced a crackdown on service industry tipped workers https://t.co/73FLE0tir3

Note: that 5.9 million number is from last year. The most recent number is that the IRS is all the way down to… a backlog of 2.5 million unprocessed returns. https://t.co/XoafUyCenc

The IRS constantly attacks the lower and middle classes and ignores “the rich.” Just last year, for instance, the IRS tried to steal away all of an elderly woman’s wealth just because she was unaware that she was supposed to file a particular tax form that pertained to her. And the IRS did thins even after the woman’s tax advisors discovered the error and filed the form retroactively.
The newly GOP-led U.S. House recently passed a bill to rescind Biden’s $71 million IRS budget hike as well as eliminating his new 87,000 agents. But so far, the traitorous Senate GOP have ignored the bill.
