“April 15 is tax day, and this year American taxpayers are getting one of the worst deals they have ever gotten. Despite its promises not to increase taxes on those making less than $400,000 a year, the Biden administration has undertaken an outright assault on taxpayers. The $400,000 pledge is detached from reality at best, with reports showing that 63 percent of new audits have been on those earning less than $200,000 a year. This shouldn't surprise us. After all, the administration rammed through its $80 billion plan to hire 87,000 new IRS agents to target American taxpayers with the flood of new audits. They also unveiled plans to jack up burdensome and confusing reporting requirements for people using digital payment platforms like Venmo. They have repeatedly delayed this plan, and I have legislation, the SNOOP Act to stop it permanently. Mr. Speaker, as a lifelong tax fighter, I came to Congress to ensure low taxes and responsible government that works for Americans. I urge the administration to join me in that work and end its war on American taxpayers. ____________________”
