Mon Sep 23 14:52:30 UTC 2024: ## IRS Backs Harris, Teamsters Stay Silent: Vice President’s Tax-and-Spend Policies Win Over Bureaucrats

**Washington D.C.** – Despite failing to secure the endorsement of the Teamsters Union, Vice President Kamala Harris has garnered support from a powerful ally: the Internal Revenue Service. The National Treasury Employees Union, representing federal agencies including the IRS, has lauded Harris for her commitment to “fair pay, paid family leave, adequate agency funding and staffing, and robust collective bargaining rights.”

The union’s endorsement comes amidst the Vice President’s controversial backing of the 2024 bipartisan border bill, which would increase immigration and significantly boost the IRS budget. The bill, a cornerstone of Harris’ campaign, aims to expand the agency by 87,000 new agents over the next decade, granting the IRS unprecedented power to track and tax Americans’ income, including tips.

Despite her initial support for the bill, Harris has recently shifted her position, now claiming that tips should not be taxed. This sudden change in stance has been met with skepticism from both Democrats and Republicans, who point to her consistent record of supporting increased government spending and bureaucratic expansion.

“Harris’s commitment to expanding the IRS is nothing short of terrifying,” said political commentator John Nolte. “The IRS is no longer about collecting taxes; it’s become a tool for silencing opposition and intimidating Americans into submission.”

The union’s endorsement of Harris highlights a stark divide between the desires of working Americans and the priorities of the political elite. While many struggle to make ends meet, the IRS, under Harris’s leadership, is poised to wield immense power, potentially further burdening taxpayers with increased scrutiny and audits.

The Teamsters Union’s silence on the matter further underscores the perceived disconnect between Harris’s policies and the concerns of everyday citizens. With the IRS firmly behind her, the Vice President’s campaign for the White House appears to be focused on securing the support of government agencies, rather than the American people.
