The Inflation Reduction Act Unleashes A Tougher IRS
Of the $80 billion to go to the IRS in the Inflation Reduction Act, a whopping $45.6 billion will be for enforcement.

Maybe the IRS plans to raid the Caymans and get back some US tax avoidance money there in their banks.Ummm the news is feeding me that info. Youre allowed to not believe it but it goes back to that kgb member telling Americans you will be shown facts and not believe them.
Im not losing a bit of sleep man. Im just telling people what is going on.Maybe the IRS plans to raid the Caymans and get back some US tax avoidance money there in their banks.
Think about it, why would the IRS need guns? Do you think they'll come to your house and threaten you for that late tax return? Or do a spot audit with a gun pointed at your head? If you file your return like I'm sure you do along with the rest of us, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
Ever hear of Al Capone? What/how do you think he went to the Fed pen in Atlanta for? Would you have wanted to go unarmed to arrest him for Income Tax Evasion?Im not losing a bit of sleep man. Im just telling people what is going on.
If you expect me to trust government agencies after the last 4 years i dont know what to tell you. There is no reason a tax agency even has 1 gun.
Yep, I trust the USG. And I can say that has always been true for me regardless of which Party was/is in power.Im not losing a bit of sleep man. Im just telling people what is going on.

We have fbi for that.Ever hear of Al Capone? What/how do you think he went to the Fed pen in Atlanta for? Would you have wanted to go unarmed to arrest him for Income Tax Evasion?
But ... I agree and that's the point I've been making -- that the IRS has no need to do what you say they doing.
Ive voted for reps and dems for president.Yep, I trust the USG. And I can say that has always been true for me regardless of which Party was/is in power.
My thought is you shouldn't decide to trust, or not trust, governmental institutions solely based on whether the Party you voted for won or lost. Too often these days, that does not seem to be the case.
Why would you make the statement that 70,000 IRS agents will be armed? Why not provide that link as well?Not saying youre wrong. Why did the irs website say that and then remove it when people found out?
I think just the "Special Agents" (or SAs) will be armed. How many openings of the 87k will be SAs, I have no idea. I wouldn't think it's 70k, but I don't think they are disclosing that info. TBH, I don't think the Biden Admin wants that to ever come out as they are trying to squash the story... I can tell this cause when I googled "which IRS agents are armed"... I got like 2 pages of FACT CHECKS on how the IRS isn't arming all their agents! LOL! So you know they are trying to kill the narrativeWhy would you make the statement that 70,000 IRS agents will be armed? Why not provide that link as well?
In the links that you did provide, they each mention it will be for the special agent unit as we discussed.
How many times do i have to say the irs removed it from its website after it was found out.Why would you make the statement that 70,000 IRS agents will be armed? Why not provide that link as well?

The link to the story you provided stated the statement removed from the website was that "special agents" would have to be willing to use lethal force, not 70,000 agents.How many times do i have to say the irs removed it from its website after it was found out.
You are correct on both parties and i truly hope you are correct.The link to the story you provided stated the statement removed from the website was that "special agents" would have to be willing to use lethal force, not 70,000 agents.
"The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) removed the requirement that special-agent applicants carry firearms and "be willing to use deadly force" from a job listing."
Plus, according to the Treasury Department (take it for what it's worth), 50,000 of the hires are to replace retiring agents. So, it's a net increase of 20-30,000 agents.

"In a letter to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the agency also is planning on hiring auditors who can enforce the tax laws against high-income Americans and corporations, not the middle class, along with employees to provide customer service to taxpayers. The majority of hires will fill the positions of about 50,000 IRS employees on the verge of retirement, which will net about 20,000 to 30,000 workers, not 87,000."
To me, it appears that the R's are doing what both sides do when it comes to new legislation they weren't in favor of, they exaggerate the negative for votes. Are there going to be 87,000 agents hired? Yes, but 50,000 of that is for replacing the existing workforce that is retiring over the next 5 years. Are there going to be armed agents? Yes, but it is for a special agent force that makes up less than 3% of the IRS workforce. It's a good way to get votes by stoking fear and both sides are very good at it.
I stay strapped as much as possible. So does my GF, of course she's a critical care Nurse, so she can only carry outside Hospital grounds.I still carry in those places and in court you will win if deadly force is needed.
Those signs are not law. Your 2nd amendment right to protection trumps the store owners fear of guns.
The Indiana mall shooting was in a place with no guns allowed signs. He faces no charges.
They are upping the staff by 30,000 because the IRS has had its funding cut repeatedly for most of the past decade (per the Treasury department statement). I mentioned in another post, I'm still waiting for my refund since I filed via paper. The delays in just processing forms and issuing refunds on paper filings are ridiculous. They still have to process 10 million paper returns for this year as of July 2022. Here is the message on irs.gov regarding refunds:You are correct on both parties and i truly hope you are correct.
So they are upping the irs staff by 30k with your math. Why?
This was on the irs site.

**** yea. Love it man. I love knowing other concealed holders are around me.I stay strapped as much as possible. So does my GF, of course she's a critical care Nurse, so she can only carry outside Hospital grounds.
You have this backwardsWhen you have an armed populace, you need armed enforcement. Why would anyone from a meter maid on up feel safe? Why wouldn't they be entitled to personal protection?
Who is feeding you info like that? As before, I'd question it. Now, if it were the ATF stocking up, I might be more worried.
Correct. Only a State's statutes can dictate where carry applies.I still carry in those places and in court you will win if deadly force is needed.
Those signs are not law. Your 2nd amendment right to protection trumps the store owners fear of guns.
