CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 5, 2024
AS ONE OF HIS PARTING GIFTS TO AMERICA, PRESIDENT BIDEN WANTS THE IRS TO CONDUCT
AUDITS ON PEOPLE MAKING MORE THAN $400 THOUSAND A YEAR. IT’S CALLED A NEW MARRIAGE PENALTY, BECAUSE IF YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE TOGETHER EARN $400 THOUSAND OR MORE, YOU COULD BE TARGETED FOR AN AUDIT.
THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION IS SPENDING BILLIONS TO HIRE MORE IRS AGENTS TO GO AFTER US. IT IS THE ONLY GOVERBNMENT AGENCY THAT REQUIRES YOU TO PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE. THE GOVERNMENT ALREADY TAKES IN RECORD AMOUNTS OF MONEY FROM PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR IT, BUT WE HAVE A $35 TRILLION DEBT – AND RISING – BECAUSE THEY SPEND MORE THAN WE GIVE THEM.
THIS IS MORE THAN OUTRAGEOUS. SOME HIGH EARNERS ARE ALREADY PAYING MORE THAN HALF THEIR INCOME TO FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, IN ADDITION TO SALES TAXES, A TAX ON CARS AND GASOLINE AND VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING WE BUY.
WE NEED AN AUDIT ALL RIGHT, BUT NOT ON INDIVIDUALS. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO BE AUDITED. OUTMODED AND UNSUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS SHOULD BE ELIMINATED. THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE SHOULD BE REDUCED. AND PEOPLE WHO EARN THEIR MONEY HONESTLY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO KEEP MORE OF IT, INVESTING AND SPENDING IT AS THEY WISH. GRABBING MORE OF OUR MONEY IS LARCENY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
