A US Representative from Iowa is continuing to push a bill that would stop an initiative by the White House.

Iowa’s Fourth Congressional District Representative Randy Feenstra says a bill he is a co-sponsor of, “The Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act,” would repeal the bill that President Joe Biden supports to create 87,000 new IRS agents. Feenstra tells Raccoon Valley Radio 90-percent of IRS audits target families that make less than $400,000, which he believes leaves the more vulnerable taxpayers to being audited.

“They’re going to come after our small businesses and our families. Why? Because usually we roll over and we just say, ‘We’ll pay it.’ You know everybody says, ‘Well, they’re going after corporations.’ No, they’re not. I mean corporations have the accountants, they have the ability to get around the IRS agents. It really falls back on them coming after us families and small businesses.”      

Feenstra details what exactly this bill does.

“So this bill simply says, ‘We are going to stop this. We’re not going to fund it. We’re going to make sure that we cut the funding to the IRS agents.’ Because we know that it’s just not good for our families, and our farmers, and our small businesses. So we’re looking to repeal it.”   

Supporters of Biden’s bill say the additional funding to the IRS would replace its aging infrastructure and workforce. Feenstra is hopeful to repeal this legislation once the new Congressional session begins on January 3rd.
