IRS to become an issue in the US presidential election?
The federal agencies of the US government like IRS, FBI, DOJ, etc are becoming a presidential campaign issue, but main is IRS, as Inflation is making public discontent grow against tax burden .
Mood in Election
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the agency that raises money for the government by taxing the public's income. But its biggest problem is the exorbitant expenditure on it, which is more than what it collects. Public opinion will be formed against such an institution. Presidential candidates Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis have already announced their intention to shut the IRS, and pardon it's victims.
Middle Class votes are a target
Just a few days ago, Trump supporters were campaigning to abolish the IRS, but suddenly a public opinion was created against Trump on the issue that 87k IRS agents were recruited during Trump's tenure to collect taxes from the middle class. The current President Biden is being accused of promoting corruption in the IRS and increasing the IRS's funds, which is affecting the middle class.
Bill is required to legally shut IRS house
Almost all government agencies in America have independence. This freedom is used in the form of freedom. But an agency like the IRS is a whole service that functions like a bureau of the Federal Treasury Department. The president can also stop its work, but a bill will have to be brought to stop it legally.
