President Biden’s multi-trillion-dollar Build Back Better (BBB) Act is a partisan, fundamental transformation of America, entrenching a socialist welfare state into the fabric of society, while punishing the working class and strapping mountains of debt to future generations.
The most insidious part of Biden’s plan is the overwhelming increase in the size, scope, and power of the IRS.
