Last August, the socialist-style economic plan put out by the Democrats allotted billions of tax dollars to support the growth of the Internal Revenue Service’s staff, was approved by the Senate.

The $750 billion “Inflation Reduction Act” (H.R. 5376) passed the House and was signed by Joe Biden. The IRS received $80 billion. The amount was a 600 percent increase over the $12.6 billion the bureau received in 2021.

The reconciliation plan allowed an extra 87,000 personnel, doubling the IRS’s present headcount from 78,661 to 165,661. That meant the IRS would surpass the combined workforces of the Pentagon, State Department, FBI, and Border Patrol, which total 158,779.

“The Pentagon houses roughly 27,000 employees, according to the Defense Department, while a human resources fact sheet says the State Department employs just over 77,243 staff. The FBI employs approximately 35,000 people, according to the agency’s website, and Customs and Border Protection says it employs 19,536 Border Patrol agents,” the Washington Free Beacon reported at the time.

Today, according to a job posting on the IRS website, the agency is still looking to hire “special agents” or criminal investigators in each of the 50 states who are armed and have the authority to make arrests.

The IRS website states in all capital letters, “WE’RE HIRING SPECIAL AGENTS NOW!”

“As a Special Agent you will combine your accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes. Special Agents are duly sworn law enforcement officers who are trained to “follow the money.” No matter what the source, all income earned, both legal and illegal, has the potential of becoming involved in crimes which fall within the investigative jurisdiction of the IRS Criminal Investigation. Because of the expertise required to conduct these complex financial investigations, IRS Special Agents are considered the premier financial investigators for the Federal government,” the IRS posting reads.

The “Major Duties:” are listed below.

Adhere to the highest standards of conduct, especially in maintaining honesty and integrity.
Work a minimum of 50 hours per week, which may include irregular hours, and be on-call 24/7, including holidays and weekends.
Maintain a level of fitness necessary to effectively respond to life-threatening situations on the job.
Be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments.
Carry a firearm; must be prepared to protect him/herself or others from physical attacks at any time and without warning and use firearms in life-threatening situations; must be willing to use force up to and including the use of deadly force.

In 249 locations across the nation, the agency is reportedly hiring at least 360 armed agents, per the job posting.

The position was advertised on USAJobs by the IRS in the middle of February, and it will remain open until the end of the calendar year.

Special agents with the IRS CI make between $52,921 and $94,228 per year.

The agency refers to armed tax enforcement agents as “gun-toters,” according to former IRS Special Agent Robert Nordlander. Considering the unofficial title and manner of operation, one would think Democrat anti-gun activists would support not using gun-toting law enforcement agents who are simply responsible for enforcing parts of the tax code in which violations amount to crimes.

What’s worse, is that in some liberal states or cities, like New York, violent criminals such as murderers and rapists are being set free on no bail, with new soft-on-crime policies Soros-led District Attorneys are taking, specifically, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. However, the rules of enforcement are far different when it comes to the government getting its money.

According to the IRS-CI’s annual report, there were roughly 2,077 special agents in the criminal investigations unit as of the 2022 budget year, which represents around 2.6 percent of the IRS’s entire workforce.

Early in April of this year Daniel Werfel, Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), revealed the federal agency’s plans for hiring armed enforcement agents. Werfel says that the IRS intends to hire armed agents to serve in its criminal investigations division after the Republican-led House forced the agency to put its plan of hiring 87,000 new agents on pause earlier this year.

After the Democrats passed the $700+ billion spending bill during the financial crisis with inflation at 9.1% last year, the IRS was heavily criticized after the same announcement was published on its official site.

America, do you like what Biden is doing? It is like tyranny.

Excerpt from the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

We need to replace this government's tyranny, ASAP.

The ELITES OBJECTIVES: Lifetime power and to t ake over the wealth of this nation!

The IRS is a self paying entity, put in a few hundred million, and collect a few hundred billion...the numbers work really well...

and they are not going after law abiding tax payers, they are going after people who are cheating on the taxes they owe. To hear the right you'd think that the IRS wants to destroy law abiding Americans and destroy businesses and jobs makers. Collecting on taxes owed isn't destroying anyone.

woodguru

Going after tax cheaters is tyranny?

JUST like "If you like your plan you can keep your plan"? Anyone who believes that the democrats aren't out to destroy America is a flat-out fool. IRS is organized crime and they are coming for all Americans.

So, you think 159,000 IRS agents are gonna disarm 80 million American gun owners?

Rose42

You really don’t know much about the IRS. They’re becoming more and more intrusive. The agency is bloated enough

I like Ron Paul’s idea - get rid of it

No. Harassing middle class taxpayers who cannot afford the lawyers and accountants that protect the assets and asses of the real tax cheats is tyranny. Liberal support of this policy is idiocy. Most IRS audits and prosecutions are of people who are nowhere near the evil rich that Liberals purport to hate unless they are one of them.

I see you have zero understanding of how it works! Congress makes laws, and the IRS checks your income tax every year, right? If you cheat the IRS will see and come after you. But, congress is made up of LOTS of Lawyers who MAKE the laws, and many are loopholes put there for smart people to use.
You have little understanding of what is going on! You and most of your small-minded party, do not see the Dem's need to keep all of you dumb and happy. And it is working.
