As if this bill didn’t have enough problems …
Hidden in President Biden’s $3.5 trillion budget plan is a provision that would authorize the Internal Revenue Service to snoop on Americans’ bank accounts.
Nebraska state Treasurer John Murante said his state is leading the charge in objecting to the proposal that would compel banks to report private customers’ accounts with at least $600 of transactions to the IRS.
“My message is really simple. The people of Nebraska entrusted me to protect the privacy of these accounts and I am not going to comply with this. If the Biden administration sues me, we will take it all the way to the Supreme Court. We are going to fight every step of the way,” Murante told Fox Business during an interview on Thursday.
