Rep. Barry Moore: We can’t give an inch in IRS snooping fight

November 2, 2021

Washington, D.C. — Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) wrote an op-ed for the Washington Examiner attacking the Democrats’ IRS snooping scheme. Moore explains why the ascendant progressive-led Biden coalition has chosen now to strike and why it’s so important that we do not give an inch to the surveillance state.

Rep. Moore: We can’t give an inch in IRS snooping fight

Democrats can camouflage their intent by claiming they are going after the “tax gap,” but the public can recognize a power grab when it sees one. A hypersensitivity to autocracy is in our DNA as a nation. And President Joe Biden’s desire to spend $80 billion on a newly empowered army of auditors, with access to your gross transactions, is clearly a power grab...

With the IRS’s long history of insecurity and political animosity, it does not matter if the overreaching comes from the Right or the Left. Schemes like this are wrong, and our civil society must demonstrate its disapproval.
