    House Republicans Brag About Voting to Defund 87,000 IRS Agents Who Don’t Exist, Claim Imaginary Victory as Bill Goes to Die in Senate

    House Republican voted unanimously to defund the non-existent “87,000 IRS agents,” a myth that was debunked by USA TODAY and The New York Times:

    The 87,000 figure refers to a May 2021 estimate from the Treasury Department of the total number of employees β€” not just auditors β€” the I.R.S. proposes to hire over the next 10 years with funding requested by Mr. Biden. And while the I.R.S. plans to conduct more audits, wealthy Americans and businesses will bear the brunt of that scrutiny, not, as Republicans have suggested, working families.

    Among the I.R.S.’s work force of about 79,000 employees, 10,000 are actually agents. (Of those, 8,000 are revenue agents who audit tax filings and 2,000 are special agents who investigate potential tax crimes.) In fact, the two most common I.R.S. jobs have little to do with tax auditing or investigations: about 13,000 are customer service representatives who answer taxpayer phone calls and 10,000 are seasonal employees who file mail or transcribe data. Other jobs include lawyers, examiners, technicians and appeals officers.

    Many Republicans bragged on Twitter about voting for the non-existing agents, and failed to mention the Democrat-controlled Senate will never pass their imaginary delusion into law.
