87K New Blumenthal-Backed IRS Agents Will Go After American Families Already Suffering Under Democrats’ Inflationary Policies

Greenwich, CT. – Connecticut families continue to pay the price for Biden-Blumenthal policies that have led to record inflation and energy prices. As Biden prepares to sign the misleadingly named “Inflation Reduction Act,” 87,000 new IRS agents will be weaponized to go after the American people - all with Dick Blumenthal’s support. 

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Leora Levy, released the following statement criticizing Blumenthal’s support for this reckless bill. 

 “This terrible bill which does nothing to “reduce climate change,” proves once again that to people like Dick Blumenthal, furthering a partisan political agenda is more important than serving the American people. Blumenthal and his party even rejected a commonsense amendment that would have prevented the IRS from targeting middle class families making less than $400,000 per year! Armed IRS agents will target middle class Americans with more audits. After the IRS was caught targeting their political opponents in 2013, Americans are rightfully concerned by this sudden development.

“As Connecticut Attorney General, Blumenthal drove many Connecticut businesses to leave the state, and now in Washington, he is going after small businesses and families once again! Connecticut is fed up with Biden, Blumenthal and all the career politicians failing our country. Voters, taxpayers and people across our great state are ready to end the Blumenthal blight. I will always fight for Connecticut families!”
