Democrat Representatives killed a Republican proposal aimed at protecting Americans’ privacy. On Sunday, 220 House Democrats opted to allow the IRS to track American’s private bank accounts after Rep. Kevin Brady proposed killing the intrusive measure.

Townhall reports:

The motion to recommit, brought to the House floor by Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), would have stripped funding Democrats included in President Biden’s budget bill to increase IRS enforcement and also prohibited the creation of an IRS program to spy on Americans’ bank accounts.

Speaking on the floor in support of his motion, Rep. Brady — who also serves as the ranking member on the House Ways and Means Committee — said that “there is more than just nonsense in” the Build Back Better budget.

“My amendment is simple,” Brady explained. “It stops Democrats from unleashing 80,000 new IRS agents on American taxpayers. More importantly, it blocks the House and the Senate from ever imposing a dangerous bank surveillance scheme targeting American families, farmers, and small businesses.”

“The truth is the IRS doesn’t need your private information, it has a record of targeting Americans based on their political beliefs,” noted Brady. “In fact this year they discriminated again against a non-profit focused on biblical teachings and continues to fail to stop massive leaks of private taxpayer returns to the media.”

Democrats have claimed the program isn’t included in the Build Back Better program yet President Biden has repeatedly pushed for the program.
