Biden's IRS expansion questioned

 Daily Caller:

Grover Norquist, founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform, ripped into claims by the Biden administration that an expanded Internal Revenue Service would not target average Americans in a Wednesday Fox News appearance.

“The president lied his way into office when he said he would not raise taxes on people who made less than 400,000,” Norquist told host Sandra Smith. “This bill raises taxes on coal, crude oil, what they make gasoline out of, and natural gas. That’s energy. That’s everybody in the country, the poorest person and the richest, everybody is being whacked by that. It’s going to increase the cost of energy for people.” (RELATED: ‘They Will Go After Small Business’: Fox Business Host Decries ‘Weaponized’ IRS)

“When you look at all the various taxes that they are putting on this, it’s going to reduce the value of stocks, which has already dropped as a result of Biden’s policies, this 1% tax on buybacks and so on will make your shares of stock in your 401(k), your IRA, your union pension all worth less,” Norquist said. “So they will reduce the value of your life savings. And half the country is in the 401(k) and IRA business. That’s not just the rich people.”

Norquist then turned his attention towards the expanded IRS, which will receive $80 billion in new funding over the next nine years to hire up to 87,000 agents in legislation passed by the Senate Sunday. The agency has been under fire over the targeting of conservative groups like the Tea Party as well as leaks to ProPublica, a left-wing media outlet, in 2013 and 2021.

“And the new audits, they will have 1.2 million new audits,” Norquist said. “There are less than 1,000 billionaires and there are only 500 companies in the Fortune 500. The rest of them is us. That’s who they are auditing, and they know that, and Bernstein knows that.”

This Democrat legislation is giving most Americans a good reason to vote against all the Democrats in 2022.  Their government greed is going to cost them.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
