Marjorie Taylor Greene said she found the situation in a building that was “basically empty” and questioned whether members of Congress own real estate and rent to the federal government in Washington, DC. She claimed the answer was “Yeah,” and argued this should have been the beginning of addressing corruption. She emphasized she would be different and would be on the front end, aiming to eliminate corruption that has infiltrated committee systems. She acknowledged politics’ current back-and-forth dynamics but said the goal is to reduce that tension and focus on reform. Speaker 1 asked Greene, as Doge chairman, to continue the work on what appears to be a massive scandal: big federal buildings owned by members of Congress and leased back to the federal government—private buildings owned by members of Congress leased to the government—describing it as “the snake eating its tail” and “the tip of the iceberg.” Greene described the broader problem as a frustration with the system and warned against a “shotgun approach,” saying they must not be neutralized and must focus on a few targets. She identified the first focus as the IRS, noting that the big complaint with the IRS, besides “stealing your money,” is that you can’t ever reach them and that their technology is not intermingled. Speaker 1 referenced Greene’s statements about government duplication. Greene said she found through government duplication a chart that “my staff has uncovered basically over a trillion dollars of just simple duplication within these departments that nobody is willing to tackle.” She reiterated the plan to tackle this issue, even if it’s not “sexy,” and to “tackle it,” showing it to the American public, with the hope they will back efforts when changing the structure of government. Greene reiterated that the aim is to focus on a few issues, start with IRS problems, and address the broader duplication and inefficiencies uncovered by her staff. She expressed a determination to reveal these findings to the public and pursue structural changes in government.

AI has access to everyone's bank accounts, using AI to target potential abusers. The IRS uses AI to analyze returns, bank statements, and books for fraud potential. AI nationwide, mostly catching tax evaders through tips. The IRS doubts the constitutionality of AI snooping. The IRS doesn't need evidence for audits. AI doesn't investigate emails but checks bank accounts. AI captured $500 million in 6 months. The Department of Justice controls IRS AI. Accountability is lacking in the government. The IRS targets the NFL owners. IRS agents feel they're destroying lives. The IRS uses AI to target rich partnerships and digital assets. Join the American swiper program to help seek the truth.

The massive bloat in government spending allows politicians to hide their pet projects. For example, Stacey Abrams' climate group, with a revenue of only $100, is slated to receive $2 billion. There's outrage over Elon Musk's team accessing IRS data, yet the Biden administration allowed 53 unpaid researchers and students full access to the American people's data at the IRS. They're okay with waste, fraud, and abuse as long as their special interest groups are funded and their ideology is promoted, regardless of the will of the American people. Our country can't survive this. We are thankful that Donald Trump and his team are saying enough is enough and will begin the process of restoring a constitutional republic.

The IRS collected $520 million from wealthy taxpayers with $80 billion in new funding. The speaker criticizes this, saying it's an economic disaster to give $80 billion to only collect $520 million. They express disbelief at the situation.

The administration hired tens of thousands of IRS workers to pursue back taxes, yet from 2021 to 2023, nearly 6,000 IRS employees owe about $50 million in back taxes. Despite having the authority to fire these individuals, only 20 have been terminated. Additionally, some of these employees have faced misconduct issues, including sexual misconduct, and 282 have been rehired. It's absurd that the IRS targets citizens while failing to manage its own employees effectively. The situation highlights a significant double standard.

The administration hired tens of thousands of IRS workers to pursue back taxes and audits, aiming to increase revenue. However, from February 2021 to February 2023, nearly 6,000 IRS employees owed about $50 million in back taxes themselves. Despite having the authority to fire these employees, only 20 have been dismissed. Additionally, some of these workers have faced serious misconduct issues, yet 282 have been rehired. This situation highlights a significant inconsistency, as the IRS targets citizens while failing to address its own internal problems. There's anticipation for change, particularly with Trump potentially taking action.

Illegal aliens in the U.S. contributed approximately $31 billion in taxes while costing taxpayers around $182 billion in total expenditures. Specifically, they paid $16 billion in federal income tax but received $66 billion in federal benefits, resulting in a net loss of $50 billion. At the state and local level, they contributed $15 billion but incurred costs of $115 billion. Overall, in 2023, illegal aliens resulted in a net cost of about $150.7 billion to the country.

Sam Korkos, a special advisor within the US Treasury, and Treasury Secretary Scott Vessant, discuss modernizing the IRS. Korkos is reviewing the IRS's modernization program, which is 30 years behind schedule and $15 billion over budget. The goal is to update the IRS's legacy infrastructure, which still uses old mainframes. Korkos says the IRS has talented software developers, but they haven't been empowered to make decisions. Vessant says entrenched interests and consultants have constricted themselves around the IRS, costing taxpayers unbelievable amounts of money. Korkos notes the IRS processes the same amount of data as a mid-sized bank, but with far more IT staff and a much larger budget, 80% of which goes to contractors and licenses. Vessant says his priorities for the IRS are collections, privacy, and customer service, none of which are being well served. Korkos has stopped work and cut about $1.5 billion from the modernization budget. He says the career staff has been cooperative. Vessant wants the American people to understand what is being done to make government work better, cheaper, faster, and with more privacy.

Canada's tax system heavily burdens the average worker, with $22,376 taken annually from a $55,000 income through various taxes, including income tax, employment insurance, and property taxes. This leaves only $32,624, which is further diminished by a 13% sales tax, reducing purchasing power to $28,380. Essentially, workers spend half the year working for the government. In return, they face a government that has restricted freedoms, imposed health mandates, and overseen a failing healthcare system, rising crime rates, and homelessness. There are concerns about legislation targeting free speech and plans to eliminate private car ownership by 2030. The current governance is seen as a threat to the freedoms fought for by previous generations.

Income taxes were nonexistent in America until 1913, yet the government functioned well. They are seen as a significant fraud against the public. Although the Constitution initially forbade income taxes, an amendment allowed them. This system shifts the burden of revenue collection onto citizens, who must complete extensive paperwork annually. Essentially, individuals do the work of providing documentation while the government simply collects the money. This situation is viewed as a clever deception on the unsuspecting public.

The administration hired tens of thousands of IRS workers to pursue back taxes and audits, aiming to boost revenue. However, from 2021 to 2023, nearly 6,000 IRS employees owe around $50 million in back taxes. Despite having the authority to terminate these employees, only 20 have been fired. Additionally, some of these workers have faced misconduct issues, yet 282 have been rehired. It's concerning that the IRS is targeting taxpayers while failing to manage its own workforce effectively. The situation highlights a significant inconsistency in accountability.

Today, nearly half of every dollar earned in the U.S. goes to taxes, often unnoticed because they are embedded in business costs. Politicians advocate for taxing businesses to help the average person, but these taxes ultimately increase product prices, acting as a hidden sales tax. There are numerous such taxes affecting consumers. Additionally, there is a call to raise corporate taxes to ensure that large corporations and billionaires contribute their fair share. While success is not criticized, the emphasis is on the importance of equitable tax contributions from those who can afford it.

We went from a small tax on tea to being heavily taxed on everything - from earning money to spending it, commuting, owning a home, and even dying. The complexity of our tax system is overwhelming, with over 26,100 pages in the federal tax code alone, not to mention thousands more IRS regulations written by bureaucrats. It's a never-ending cycle of taxation on every aspect of our lives.

We started with a small tax revolt, but now we're taxed on everything - earning, spending, saving, investing, and even dying. We pay taxes on our commute, work, and home, which we already bought with taxed money. The more we earn, the more the government takes. Taxes are everywhere, from our morning coffee to our paycheck.

Many of you benefited from the $1.9 trillion tax cut, which is great to hear. However, if you're like me, your taxes will actually increase, not decrease.

Speaker 0: In America, we don't have a tax problem. We've got a third world problem. This is not an exaggeration. The United States collects over $2,400,000,000,000 in income taxes every year and then burns $1,500,000,000,000 through fraud, waste, and third world robbery. If the elites actually did their jobs and cut out the waste, the government would only need about $900,000,000,000 to function. And here's the crazy part. That would mean anyone earning under $500,000 a year could pay zero income tax, and everything would still be fully funded. So if this money isn't funding our future, whose dream is it really building? Look at Minnesota. The Somali daycare scandal gave us the answer. Billions of dollars you worked for, money meant to feed hungry kids, was diverted through fake daycare centers, phantom meals, and paperwork designed to approve. Not question, no kids, no food, just checks. Your hard earned labor was turned into Lamborghinis, beachfront mansions, and luxury vacations most of us will never experience even after a lifetime of honest work. On top of that, your tax dollars were routed to foreign organizations The US Military is fighting. Let that sink in. We went from defending liberty to bankrolling the threat. That's not compassion. That's collapse. And when systems fail like this, they don't admit mistakes. They don't apologize for wasting your money. They dig deeper into your pockets to fund their failure.

More than 25% of the annual federal deficit is spent taking care of illegal immigrants. In 2023, the total outlay was $6.1 trillion, the total revenue was $4.4 trillion, and the federal deficit was $1.7 trillion. In 2023, $451 billion was spent taking care of illegal immigrants, which is 26.5% of the $1.7 trillion deficit. If the border was secure and there was control over who enters the country, 26.5% could be cut from the deficit. This is especially important because the money is borrowed, meaning interest will be paid on it. In 2023, $451 billion was borrowed to support illegals, and interest will be paid on that amount.

Since 2012, the government has wasted nearly $3 trillion in taxpayer money. Last year alone, improper payments totaled $247 billion. This includes payments to deceased individuals; over $530 million in pension payments went to dead people. Medicare improperly paid out $47 billion, and Medicaid, $81 billion. Fraudulent payments under the Biden administration reached $764 billion in just three years. These improper payments add up to $2.8 trillion – enough to cover five years of US foreign aid. This amounts to $850 per person in the country.

We went from fighting a 2% tax on tea during the revolution to being taxed on money in various ways today. Taxes are imposed on income, spending, saving, investing, and even driving. The government takes more as you earn more. The federal tax code is 26,100 pages, with over 9,000 additional IRS regulations. Despite this, infrastructure funded by taxpayers is deteriorating. Our founding fathers would be displeased with the current tax system.

Today, nearly half of every dollar earned in the U.S. goes to taxes, often unnoticed because they are embedded in business costs. Politicians advocate for taxing businesses to help the average person, but these taxes ultimately increase product prices, acting as a hidden sales tax. There are numerous such taxes affecting consumers. Additionally, there is a call to raise corporate taxes to ensure that large corporations and billionaires contribute their fair share. While success is commendable, it is crucial that everyone pays their fair share of taxes.

The Biden administration has set a new record for regulatory spending, surpassing both Trump and Obama. They have spent over $1.37 trillion on regulations, with a focus on climate change initiatives like vehicle emission standards. Despite creating fewer rules, their programs are costing billions more. This spending is described as a "regulatory tsunami" and has led to a significant paperwork burden. The total regulatory costs of the Biden administration would rank 17th in the world if it were a country's GDP, just behind Indonesia.

The income tax is seen as unnecessary and a product of a shift in American attitudes towards government. This shift has led to an expansive welfare state and military commitments worldwide, funded by escalating taxes. While the top tax rate has decreased since 1922, the overall tax burden remains high, with government taking over 40% of the economy. The tax system creates a sense of enslavement, requiring individuals to maintain records and face severe penalties for non-compliance. The IRS operates under a presumption of guilt, forcing taxpayers to prove their innocence. Taxation is viewed as confiscation of wealth, contrary to the founding principles of America, and is deemed unnecessary in a libertarian society focused on limited government and individual freedom.

Governments now take nearly half of every dollar earned, with many taxes hidden in business costs, ultimately paid by consumers. Tax reform is needed to simplify the system, making it easier for individuals to understand their obligations without needing legal help. The government has become overly complex, with public employees influencing policy more than elected officials. Special interest groups often hinder progress, pushing agendas that can raise costs unnecessarily. To combat inflation, a balanced budget is essential, requiring lawmakers to pair spending proposals with tax plans. People often support programs without realizing the true costs. The current regulatory system places the burden of proof on individuals, complicating accountability. There's significant waste in government spending, and a realignment of political parties could help clarify their distinct values and responsibilities.

Sam Korkos, a special advisor within the US Treasury, and Secretary Scott Bessent discuss modernizing the IRS. Korkos, also CEO of a software company, was brought in to review the IRS's modernization program, which is 30 years behind schedule and $15 billion over budget. The goal is to migrate the IRS's legacy infrastructure, similar to old banking systems, to a modern system. Bessent says entrenched interests are constricting the system, costing taxpayers. Korkos notes the IRS processes data equivalent to a mid-sized bank but with far more IT staff and a larger budget, with 80% going to contractors and licenses. Bessent wants to improve collections, privacy, and customer service. Korkos says he's cutting wasteful projects and has stopped $1.5 billion in spending. He says career staff have been cooperative. Bessent says the goal is government efficiency, not elimination, and wants the IRS to work better, cheaper, faster, and with more privacy. Korkos is committed to the project for six months.

When we were younger, taxes were around 15% of earnings; now they approach 50%. Many don’t realize that business taxes are ultimately passed on to consumers as hidden costs. Tax reform is needed to simplify the system, eliminating the necessity for lawyers to navigate it. The government has become overly complex, with a large number of public employees influencing policy more than elected officials. Citizens must engage more actively in local governance. Special interest groups often overshadow businesses in policy influence. To address inflation, a balanced budget is essential, which requires discipline in spending. Legislators should propose funding alongside new spending programs to clarify costs to the public. The federal government is bloated, and significant cuts could be made. Political parties should clearly define their differences and stand firm on their values.
