Texas cattle ranchers audited by IRS issue dire warning to Americans

Texas cattle ranchers David and Deborah Hajda issued a dire warning to America’s middle class after Democrats’ spending bill passed both houses of Congress allowing provisions for approximately $80 billion in IRS funding, a majority of which is dedicated to enforcement.

The Raising Five Cattle Company ranchers spoke with Dana Perino on “America’s Newsroom” Tuesday, where they recounted the grueling tax audit they experienced 13 years ago.

“We got audited over basically a $7,800 engine rebuild on a very old tractor,” Deborah said.

“They just basically said this was a red flag, and we’re going to audit you, and we’re coming to your house,” she added.

Hajda said she asked if she could fax her bank records to the IRS, but they refused to give her the option. Instead, they came to her house and demanded all of her financial records in-person.

“I took out our box of receipts… and we handed it to him, and I said ‘Here’s your receipts’… we weren’t hiding anything,” she said.

Perino asked if the IRS agent sought out the ranchers simply to fill a quota.

“Probably. They said they flagged it because our expenses were high that year, and it was because of this repair,” David responded.
