@RepKatiePorter
I’ve been pushing to give the IRS the resources it needs to serve taxpayers and crack down on ultra-wealthy tax cheats. With 50,000+ workers—including many customer service representatives—set to retire soon, time has been of the essence. (2/3)

2. Very fiscally responsible, because it's Republicans

The major media would sooner eat a pile of dog shit than report on this CBO score for the latest shenanigans from the Republicans. They're always on about how government should be run like a business (it shouldn't, but arguendo let's let that slide for now). What business doesn't send out bills for its goods and services? Would such a business just assume its customers and clients would send in money without an invoice? That's what the IRS does for the federal government.

3. Reducing tax collections is the plan

Reducing costs is a bonus. In GOP Math, this works.
