| No group has been more relentless in attacking the outrage of 87,000 new IRS agents than CTUP. Democrats have claimed with a straight face the money will go to improve customer service (only 4 percent is earmarked for that) and crack down on wealthy tax cheats.
Now Republicans are picking up on the message. A slew of GOP ads attacking the IRS expansion in Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada are making this a priority issue – borrowing from our line that more money is going to the IRS than to border agents, military personnel, and police. Kevin McCarthy vows that when he becomes Speaker of the House in January he will make defunding the IRS the first bill in the House. Let’s hope that’s a promise he keeps.
