who will make up stuff about IRS agents coming to knock on their doors for an enveloppe with a hundred dollar bill in it (cash...) and then blame 'Brandon' and the 'showshialist' Dem Senate for that.

Mark my words.

Rethugs KNOW this. This bill is on orders from their owner-donors, astoturfers of the old tea party.

Front and center. Hard working people that PAY taxes have always depended on the refund that would be 6-8 weeks max. They pay heating bills from winter, medical bills, car repairs and home repair from winter damage. Waiting more than a year is pathetic. Most of that funding was to replace those that processes average people’s taxes. These assholes do not give one fuck about “The American People”, and I vomit as they say those words dozens of times in every rant on camera. When the GQP started chanting USA after Kevin bribed his way in, I wanted to vomit. It’s getting to a point I despise that chant at sports events, see the damn flag anymore or hear the national anthem. GQP has tarnished it all. They hijacked the country and all images that stand for it.

Now they want to abolish the IRS entirely, and impose a national sales tax - no Income tax, no inheritance tax, no payroll taxes (thus ending SS), etc.

Of course, then the poor will be paying most of the taxes, while the rich pay nothing.

which of course he won't. But it would be fun to flush out the Rep senators of would, and who would not, vote for it.

Not to worry, Biden would never sign it, and it takes 2/3 of BOTH houses to override a veto.
