53% of irs folks work at home. they do not want to come into the office. the other 50%, when we ask the irs how often do they come into the office, the answer is sometimes. they will not tell you how many people come in and how often. the challenges they have on out answering people's questions or not knowing what to do, their own investigators. they destroyed 30 million documents. that is a stack toast to miles hi if you put them one on top of the other. when asked by congress why did you do it and how did you destroy them they said we will not tell you and one asked why you will not tell us they say it reflects poorly on us. it would be very helpful if you know what happened to 30 million documents the irs admits they destroyed. now thereupon people on the phone and shake you do not send your stuff in. they cannot tell you how they destroyed it. now they are saying they want more documents, tens of millions of more paper documents flying around not being reported being destroyed by irs agents. that got caught bec

people, modernize the irs.ver the next five years, they need to replace those. some of this 87,000 will go to that. we're talking people who answer phones. it takes four to five years to train an irs agent to do high level tax rushes and so far the superrich are skating by. the irs can't audit all the super rich people under reporting their income to the tunes of hundreds of billions of dollars per year. in 2021, 10% of tax returns for people who make $10 billion or higher was audited now it's 1.3%. >> one of them was the former president himself who didn't get audited because the irs said they were under staffed. the audit of trump's taxes was still not done. what you said is so important. it is 87 employees, not agents who are like an army. when you call the irs, they do not answer the phone. only 13% of 173 million calls got through to somebody. >> i needed to talk to the irs last year and it was maddening for me and people. and think of the changes of the laws in covid, tax changes, rebates, all these thing

so dana, this is so interesting, abolishing the irs, i forget that the irs has only been around for likek at it that way. if you look back at human history, humans have been on this planet 300,000 years, irs not even a blink of an eye, time to go. >> dana: it's exactly right that the younger people or the people with a small business, they are the ones that are always under the threat of the irs coming, rich people can afford an accountant or a lawyer and figure that out. >> greg: you love the consumption tax. >> dana: i do like a consumption tax, should we talk about that? >> greg: keep it interesting. >> dana: consumption tax we can talk about a different time, when they pass the need for 87,000 agents, why did they need that, they had to figure out a way to play for all of the climate proposals they wanted in their bill, so once again they are asking the irs to go after the people who are not going to tie things up in court for years, the rich, they are going to go after small business owners because of the are the people that would say uncle, find, take my money, and that money was g

so those irs agent would be set up to go after hard-working families across this country. frankly what we need is more horticultural agents securing america's border, not irs agents going after hard-working families in america. we passed that bill. we are going to pass more good bill this week. you're going to see us today set up the select subcommittee on china. finally confront the challenge that is one of the greatest threats to our nation, and that is what the chinese communist party has been doing all around the globe, making challenges to our country and other countries around the world. we're going to set up that church committee to look at some of these federal agencies are weaponizing government to go after families across this country. based on their political views. that's not what government should be doing. we are going to be looking into that as well. we're going to pass the board of life act, the we talked about a long time. effective or republican was a cosponsor last congress and nancy pelosi wouldn't bring it up to a vote in our first full week we will ac

a real huge screw up on at irs, congress keeps making code so complicated it is impossible for the irsnding, they keep raising tax rates and makes tax code more complicated when trades compliance cost, people don't understand the code and submit the wrong amount of money to irs, and irs does not have resources to audit all of fancy engineer tax credits and electric vehicle tax credits, simplify the codes and lower tax rates and irs will have pledgeymoney to administer. kennedy: they have been lobbies to simplified the code for as long as federal government has been collecting taxes,ure right there are these sweetheart packages that nominally will make the world's better place but really don't do anything. let me ask you, we're about to creep into tax season, if my gas vehicle, identifies as a electric vehicle, can i claim that? >> look, you know i think there will be huge fraud and cheating around these new fancy energy tax credits that biden and democrats have passed 2 law, that is the real crisis, i think that republicans in house are doing right thing, saying, more money for custome

this is the irs bill which aims to rescind $71 billion that democrats sent to the irs to hire 87,000ocrats say they will block the bill, pointing to a cbo analysis that shows the legislation would actually reduce revenues by 185 billion and add 114 billion to the federal deficit over a 10-year period. >> it is absolutely absurd. what the republicans are doing, plain and simple, is helping their friends, the multimillionaires, wealthy corporations who pay no taxes from being audited. we're not letting it happen. >> reporter: house republicans say it will go both ways, kill any senate bills, even those supported by senate republican. >> 2 goes both ways, they can't ram a bunch things down our throat like we can't to them. there will have to be give-and-take. time to fight back. >> reporter: liz there is a budget battle looming as house democrats say a government shutdown is inevitable thank to speaker mccarthy's concessions making sure that spending does not go over last year's limits. elizabeth? elizabeth: always great journalism or aishah hasnie. thank you so much. look who is back,

it would rescind billions of dollars to the irs. you tweeted, you will vote to stop the 87,000 irs agents from going after families. that's not true. it would be employees, not agents. the congressional budget office says that your bill to get rid of those irs employees is going to add to the deficit. >> only in the bizarro warlorld washington would you get an estimate that not spending the money is going to add to -- >> because of enforcement more people who are avoiding paying their taxes. about ten years ago, if you made more than $10 million a year, one out of five people like that would be audited. now it's down to 3.6%. the wealthy people are getting away with not paying their taxes. corporations too. >> the intent of hiring all of these new agents would have the effect of going after hard-working families and small businesses. that is not a republican talking point. that comes from the joint committee of taxation. they've evaluated this and they know it will be the low-hanging fruit that the irs will go after fruit. that's th
