IRS union joins with Putin, Dick Cheney in endorsing Kamala for president

September 22, 2024 | | Print Article

Democrat nominee Kamala Harris may have been snubbed by the Teamsters but she can take solace in knowing that the Internal Revenue Service employee’s union has her back.

“The National Treasury Employees Union has endorsed Kamala Harris for President of the United States,” the NTEU announced this week, throwing the backing of the union that represents government agencies including the IRS behind the incumbent vice president who belongs to the administration that passed a bill to beef up the workforce by 87,000 new agents.

“When it comes to treating federal employees with respect, valuing their service and investing in their work, Kamala Harris is the clear choice,” said union president Doreen Greenwald. “She shares our values and our commitment to making sure that the federal government works for all Americans. She has been a strong advocate for the issues that matter most to federal employees: fair pay, paid family leave, adequate agency funding and staffing, and robust collective bargaining rights.”

Two years ago, it was Harris who cast the deciding vote to break a 50-50 deadlock to advance Biden’s centerpiece legislation, the Orwellian-titled Inflation Reduction Act, which was in actuality a pork-stuffed Trojan horse for the extremist Green New Deal climate agenda and the $80 billion for a vast expansion of the IRS as the muscle to shake down American taxpayers to fund it.

In its press release, the NTEU explained that Harris and Biden “also delivered agency budgets that provide federal employees with additional staffing and resources, including significant new investments to rebuild the IRS under the Inflation Reduction Act.”

Harris adds the IRS union to her impressive collection of endorsements including Vladimir Putin, Dick Cheney, left-wing pop diva Taylor Swift, and apparently the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Kamala’s scoring of the blessing from the wealth confiscators got the attention of X users, including one who warned that Americans should prepared to bend over and grab their ankles.

Others suggested that it may not be the win that Harris and her supporters think it is.

Democrats – including the party’s ideological thought leader AOC – melted down this week when the Teamsters leadership overrode the union’s rank and file support for former President Donald J. Trump, the IRS union may be a consolation prize for Harris who is ready to unleash them to collect taxes on unrealized capital gains – for a start.

Trump could run ads from now until the election off of Kamala’s endorsements.
