Biden's IRS 'going after small businesses' after securing $80 billion from taxpayers, Grover Norquist warns
Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist argues the IRS is 'massively increasing their ability to audit.'
Grover Norquist, the Americans for Tax Reform President, discussed the IRS targeting small businesses after securing $80 billion in the Inflation Reduction Act, arguing the agency is "massively increasing their ability to audit" during his appearance on "Mornings with Maria" Tuesday.
GROVER NORQUIST: They want to take $80 billion from taxpayers, $80 billion and hire 87,000 more bureaucrats in the IRS. They're going after small businesses. The IRS itself says they're going to dramatically increase how they go after independent contractors and small businesses, not General Motors, smaller businesses. That's where they think they're going to make their money.

They're going to give the IRS more money for offices. Odd, 53%. The IRS admits 53% of their staff, they don't come in at all. The other 47%. Sometimes unclear how often people come in.

When reports of internal looking at the IRS said they're not using the cars correctly, it's not clear people aren't misusing them for their personal use, and they don't need anymore.
