Whereas: |
The Fourth Amendment enshrines the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated; and |
Whereas: |
The proposal in the multi-trillion dollar reconciliation bill before Congress by President Joe Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to force banks to allow the IRS to snoop on their customers’ accounts is a clear 4th Amendment violation; and |
|
Whereas: |
It doesn’t matter whether the reporting threshold is $600, $10,000, or $25 billion, ff the government wants your bank to report on you, they need to get a warrant; and |
Whereas: |
The IRS has a proven track record of stopping at nothing to meddle in the affairs of businesses and target political opponents of the party in power and will quite obviously use this new snooping power to do the same; |
|
Therefore: |
I DEMAND you uphold the Fourth Amendment and ditch ANY unconstitutional reporting threshold and keep the IRS snoops OUT of our private accounts! |
