The Democrats’ new reconciliation bill isn’t just going to be the largest-ever expansion of a government agency. It’s going to be the largest expansion of the domestic police state in American history. Only a statist could believe that a federal government, which already collects $4.1 trillion every year — or $12,300 for every citizen — supposedly needs 80 battalions of new IRS cops. The average American has less reason to be concerned about cops with guns — though the IRS is looking for special agents who can “carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary” — than they do bureaucrats armed with

Republicans need to promise that they will fire all of them after they take over both houses.

Given that nobody wants to work these days, the newbies will be the dregs of humanity. The Left wanted to defund the police and have no cops, now they will be overrun with cops who will shoot people with government approval over a two-dollar tax bill.

We know that these 87,000 will be under pressure to produce the increase in money collected as “taxes” claimed by the supporters of this legislation. We also know that only the very wealthy have the resources to contest IRS charges for more taxes. So they will go for the low hanging fruit — the middle class. It will not matter if the agent is completely wrong about you owing more tax. The burden of proving that the agent is wrong is on you. You cannot win for loosing. The legal fees to fight will be more than the agent is demanding.
This is a viscous assault on the middle class by the Democrats.

Poster 2, the GOP specializes in campaign promise lip service. The latest unconvincing pronouncement is from Kevin McCarthy, who told Garland to preserve all documents and clear his calendar” for when Republicans regain the majority.

People that vote Democrat do so thinking this kind of tyranny won't affect them because they are supporters. They are so wrong.
Nobody will be safe.
Republicans have long woke up to this. Democrats need to do so too. The Democrats spearheaded this. The only way to stop this is to kick Democrats out of office, and maybe that will put a stop to this before it really gets started.

To Reply #2 - a Govt employee cannot just be 'fired' - only those who are appointed, 'at will' employees. That is the problem with the bureaucratic behemoth called the U.S. Govt. There is major nepotism and favoritism.
You would be amazed at how many relatives are in the same agencies, just not in the same offices/ line of command.

Remember......the IRS can take everything you have and you have to prove your innocence they DO NOT have to prove your guilt.....the conservative/right will be the first target.

That's 1,740 new agents for each state. They could cut that number down by simply investigating our elected officials to begin with. They could start in the Oval Office.

Obama said he would transform America and have his own army to rival that of the USA. Notice most of those coming across the border are young healthy men of military age. 87,000 IRS agents with guns, add them together. Now, look at the thousands of young men that have died from the fentanyl coming across the border-mostly military age. Now, add all the military that have been discharged because they wouldn't take the so-called vaccine. FOR GOD'S SAKE AMERICA, WAKE UP!

If the IRS wears a gun to audit me then I should assume dangerous intent on their part so I will wear mine for my safety. Words like 'use deadly force' in the IRS is nothing but evil coming after us. Obama's civilian military has finally happened along with Antifa, BLM and rouge FBI with ATF the plan is complete.
