The majority of likely general election voters approve Congress taking action to prevent the hiring of 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents, according to a newly released Convention of States Action / Trafalgar poll.
The House Republicans passed the The Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act on Jan. 9 partly in effort to stop funding for hiring almost 87,000 new IRS agents through a Democrat-led 2022 spending bill. Poll respondents, sampled between Jan. 9 and Jan. 12, expressed support for Congress preventing the hirings by a roughly 60.1% to 28% margin.

The Inflation Reduction Act, passed in 2022, allocated close to $80 billion in new funding to the IRS through 2031, allowing the agency to hire more than 86,000 estimated full-time employees across that period, based on a May 2021 Treasury Department publication.
Just over 51% of Democratic voters surveyed opposed House action against the hiring of 87,000 new IRS agents, while about 88.4% of Republicans and 61.4% of independents were in favor.
“This data shows the public–regardless of party–is overwhelmingly supportive of the measure forwarded by the House of Representatives to get this reversed,” Convention of States President Mark Meckler said.
The GOP has heavily criticized the hiring of the agents, while Republican Georgia Rep. Buddy Carter has introduced a bill to abolish the IRS and establish a national sales tax instead. The newly-approved Republican-led House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government could investigate the agency, according to Politico.
The poll had 1,079 respondents with a 2.9% margin of error.

EDITOR’S NOTE: What is behind the current war against America’s children? Why are so many adults killing their unborn children right up to the moment of birth, or even after? Why are millions of kids sexualized virtually from birth, and injected with an experimental “vaccine” proven to be both ineffective and dangerous, then as toddlers transported to events glorifying mentally ill, demonically possessed men dressed as women?
Why are America’s children systematically sexualized at school, and by transgender recruiters on social media platforms like TikTok, seducing many into “identifying” as the opposite gender, or a brand-new imaginary gender, then encouraged to take powerful drugs and hormones and have their healthy breasts amputated or undergo chemical or surgical castration?
Why are our children simultaneously indoctrinated with toxic Marxist ideologies like “critical race theory” intended to condition them to hate and reject their own country, parents, faith, race, gender and themselves? Why are they simultaneously being frightened of the future by being fed lurid, terrifying – and groundless – apocalyptic tales of the imminent destruction of the world due to global warming?
No wonder youth suicides have skyrocketed, as have depression, anxiety, addiction and drug overdoses. Indeed, fentanyl, the No. 1 cause of death of younger Americans 18 to 45, destroys multitudes of children annually.
Make no mistake: The harm being done to America’s children in this multi-front war is not accidental: Children are the primary target.
WHY? How can all this be happening in the greatest nation on earth? Who and what is behind it? And HOW CAN IT BE STOPPED?
