Billy Long, Trump's pick to head the IRS, is unfit for position.

[Swede]

Of course he is, it's why Fuckstick picked him.

There are plenty of articles, and opinion pieces on why, so I just posted the google search results.

1. Sounds like a pirate

Or someone larping as a pirate.

2. Goes without saying. His incompetence was his qualification.

[Ocelot II]

3. Yes, of course. Being unfit for the position is an essential qualification.

You don't get a job in the Dunning-Kruger administration without being completely incompetent.

[surfered]

4. Most of his picks have been unfit for their jobs.

[LoisB]

5. Why should this pick be any different from the rest of them?

[spanone]

6. imagine that.

[hatrack]

7. Don't let appearances fool you - he really IS a shit-kicking redneck moron . . .

Long is a fourth-generation native of Missouri.[11] He was born in Springfield in 1955. He graduated from the K–12 Greenwood Laboratory School in 1973.[12][13] He attended the University of Missouri from 1973 to 1976 but did not graduate.[11][14] Long then attended and later graduated in 1979 from the Missouri Auction School, based in Kansas City.[15][16] In 1983, he graduated from the Certified Auctioneers Institute at Indiana University Bloomington.[16][17]

Long was an auctioneer and owned Billy Long Auctions, LLC from 1979 to 2011.[18][19] He was named "Best Auctioneer in the Ozarks" for seven years in a row.[20][21] In 2016, he was inducted into National Auctioneers' Association Hall of Fame[22][23] after his 2009 induction into the Missouri Professional Auctioneers’ Association Hall of Fame.[24][25][26] He was a talk radio show host on the Springfield-based station KWTO and worked as a realtor part time.[27] He is a member of the National Association of Realtors, National Auctioneers Association, the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce, the National Rifle Association of America, and the Greater Springfield Board of Realtors. He was also the former President of the Missouri Auctioneers' Association.[15][28][29]

Long was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 2011 to 2023.

Long was among the 75 Republican cosponsors to the Fair Tax Act (H.R. 25/S. 18), first introduced in 2015 by Representative Rob Woodall (R-GA) and then again in 2017.[30] The bill would have phased out all IRS funding and abolished the IRS in 2019. It also would have scrapped the income tax system and replaced it with a 23% national retail sales tax primarily administered by the states.[30]

8. Replace the income tax with a 23% across the board sales tax. God save us from these visionaries.

I assume local, city, county, state sales tax would be on top of this.

How would your personal shopping habits be affected if there was a 30% + sales tax on everything you buy?

Do you think American manufacturing and service industries will benefit?

9. Unfit plus Trump appointee is redundant.

[jmowreader]

10. That's the major qualification for any specific position in Trump's administration

Looking good in makeup, being extremely right wing and adoring Trump to the degree you’d kill yourself if he asked are what will get you into his administration. Being totally unfit for a particular job is what gets you that job.

11. Long is a crook and should not be allowed near the IRS

This idiot lacks any knowledge of tax or accounting concept

[republianmushroom]

12. Are we surprised, NO.

How many of trumps picks are qualified for their position ? Hell, trump isn't qualified for is position.
