Rep. Calvert Votes for the Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-41) voted along with a majority (221to 210) of the House of Representatives to approve the Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act. The bill rescinds the additional funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to hire 87,000 new agents, which was included in the Inflation Reduction Act.

“At a time of high inflation and rising costs, the last thing American families need is an army of IRS agents looking into every transaction they make” said Rep. Calvert. “We need a federal government that works for taxpayers, not a growing bureaucracy that seeks to target and harass taxpayers. If anyone really thinks we need tens of thousands of additional IRS agents to apply our tax laws, perhaps it’s time to simplify our tax code. With the passage of the Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act, House Republicans are upholding the commitment we made to America to put their needs first.”
