.SpeakerMcCarthy knocks bill to abolish IRS he promised GOP rebels a hearing on
Under the proposal, Congress would abolish the IRS and replace the federal income tax with a national 30% sales tax. McCarthy guaranteed that the measure would receive a hearing, but that may not necessarily mean it will get a vote on the House floor, Axios reported. A growing chorus of Republicans voiced unease at the legislation."No," McCarthy replied tersely when asked if he backed the measure Tuesday.
Although Republicans have repudiated IRS expansion, a slew of congressmen, including New York Republican Reps. Marc Molinaro, Nick LaLota, and Mike Lawler have also vowed to oppose the legislation. McCarthy reportedly gave the commitment to Republican holdouts while jockeying for the speaker's gavel amid roughly 20 House Republican defections.
