Republicans take aim at popular program to drum up support for tax cuts for wealthy

Republican lawmakers are looking to roll back a program to make the Internal Revenue Service more user friendly as a ploy to garner sympathy for tax cuts for the rich.

The IRS extended a pilot program earlier this year allowing some Americans to file their taxes directly to the agency for free, which many users praised as "so darn easy" to use, but more than two dozen GOP lawmakers are calling on president-elect Donald Trump to strangle the popular initiative in its cradle, reported MSNBC.
