Bo Hines, a candidate for Congress in North Carolina's 13th Congressional District, has signalled his support for a bill that would block the use of funds to "build an army of tax SWAT teams," according to a press release from the Stand For Freedom PAC. The legislation is authored by Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks, and is intended to be a response to the $80 billion allocated for the IRS in the Inflation Reduction Act passed earlier this year, which is to be used to hire new IRS personnel and increase enforcement.
North Carolina staffing agencies said in August that there are plenty of available jobs for workers but that incentives for people to remain unemployed and stay home make it difficult to fill those vacancies.
