McCarthy pledges repeal of IRS funding meant to target wealthy tax cheats
Soon after the U.S. House reconvenes Monday to vote on the rules package containing many of the concessions House Speaker Kevin McCarthy made to secure to votes of far-right Republicans, the party is also expected to introduce what the new leader said early Saturday would be its “very first bill”: a proposal repealing new Internal Revenue Service funding meant to help audit the wealthiest Americans. About $80 billion was included in the Inflation Reduction Act last year, with IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig saying the funding would only be used to increase audits of households making $400,000 per year or more.
More tax breaks for rich people, that’s what republiguns stand for.
the craziest ones need to convince the not so crazy ones to buy into their craziest ideas – hopefully the ones who are not the craziest will not act quite so crazy and not vote for the craziest
As “proof” that he deserved full credit and/or blame for McCarthy’s promotion, Trump claimed that “The Fake News Media was, believe it or not, very gracious in their reporting that I greatly helped Kevin McCarthy attain the position of Speaker of the House.” Then he posted links to eight separate, nearly identical puff pieces by wingnut press regaling his imaginary relevance…

Well, that settles it then. Now we know who to fault when McCarthy flops as Speaker. We know who to hold responsible when his “leadership” results in an economic fiasco due to his defaulting on American debt. We’ll know who gets credit for attempting to cut Social Security and Medicare. We’ll know whose efforts weaken Ukraine’s defense against Putin’s war crimes. We’ll know who cut taxes for corporations and the wealthy, putting the burden on everyone else. And we’ll know who to thank for endless, meritless, revenge hearings aimed at President Biden, his family, and his administration.
It’s all Trump! Because he’s just so influential and essential to everything at all times. Particularly the things that hurt the interests of average Americans, embarrass the nation abroad, and undermine democracy and the Constitution.
Canada is trying yo “reeducate” Dr Peterson for his political beliefs. Gonna send him to a social media re-education class or they will suspend his license. Sound familiar, Comrade? Next thing, they are liable to take his money or jail him because he will not sniff Trudeau’s heiny. Communism/socialism cannot stand opposing views.

There are political cartoons which, once seen, cannot be unseen.
Or, as McCarthy is soon to find, once felt, cannot be unfelt.
