President Trump Cuts The IRS Workforce By 25%!


Here’s some wonderful news: In the six months since President Trump was sworn back into office, he’s already reduced the IRS by a whopping 25%!

Most of this was done through mass firings and buyout offers.

That’s 25% less agents getting paid to harass the American people and take our hard-earned money!

What’s not to like about that?

FedScoop reported:

A snapshot report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that more than 25,000 IRS employees either took the deferred resignation offer, retired or were separated from the agency in another way, while nearly 300 staffers were terminated via reduction-in-force actions. Combined, those departures represent 25% of the agency’s workforce, which has downsized from roughly 103,000 staffers to 77,428 as of May.

Bou Loudon provided a breakdown on how these cuts impacted the agency, across divisions:

The Washington Times explained in more detail:

The cuts sliced through some of the most prominent IRS divisions, taking out 27% of the tax examiners and 26% of the revenue agents, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said.

Information technology is shedding 23% of its workforce, and the management and analysis division will lose 28% of its staff.

“These separations will have nationwide implications,” the inspector general said.

The data, which was current as of May, showed that most of the departing staffers have accepted one of the administration’s various buyout offers.

That included about 4,600 approved under the initial January buyout offer and 17,000 approved for voluntary early retirement. Thousands more were part of smaller separation programs, and about 300 were from an official “reduction in force.”

Next, let’s aim for 100%!

Speaking of which, President Trump recently said that tariff revenue is set to really start coming in starting August 1st…

Once that happens, he can get started with his plan to abolish the IRS and replace it with the ERS!

That would be phenomenal.

Are you for abolishing the IRS?
