An interesting article that might help to explain why the government is hiring so many IRS agents. This has been done by Kings and Emperors throughout history ... Also there is this...IRS faces online uproar over special agent job posting requiring ability to use deadly force 'if necessary'https://www.foxbusiness.com...< br />
Now for a few historical highlights:


The King did, however, control the tax collectors. And Louis made sure they had every authority to coerce, harass, and intimidate money out of French citizens.
French tax collectors had the authority to walk right into people’s homes unannounced, conduct surprise inspections to look for hidden wealth, and walk away with whatever money or property they felt would satisfy the peasant’s tax bill.
This is actually a pretty common theme throughout history: governments that are on the ropes routinely resort to plundering the savings of their citizens.
Several ancient Roman emperors, in fact, from Diocletian to Valentinian III, famously sent ruthless tax collectors to harass their citizens and steal their wealth. Several ancient Chinese dynasties did the same thing. So did the declining Ottoman Empire.
Significantly ramping up tax collection efforts is typically a hallmark of an economy and empire in decline.
So we can’t be too surprised that, in its latest legislative bonanza, the US government is setting aside $80 billion for IRS tax collection efforts.
The current IRS budget is around 12 billion..

Those IRS agents better hope that 12 billion covers funeral costs if this is what they’re planning.

Putting aside the fact the USA doesn't have this money, think of all the good that could have been accomplished with that much money. Sad days under Biden.

Louis and Marie Antoinette lived happily ever after right?
Until we learn history it seems we doom ourselves to endlessly repeating it.
So much for modern education and the progress of mankind.
We got safety and convenience then we got fat.
Now we hang on a precipice over our aversion to discomfort and danger.

No no you all got it wrong. The elites have got it all figured out this time. They can do the same things to the people like they have done time and time again to fail but now they're smarter and failure is not an option.
I hope I live long enough to see the coming bloodshed. It's overdue in my opinion.
Exterminate the brutes!

And who are the target demographic of king Biden's tax collectors?

...over half of these correspondence audits were targeted at the small proportion of workers with incomes so low they had claimed an anti-poverty earned tax credit to offset the tax otherwise due on their modest earned income.

IRS Audits Poorest Families at Five Times the Rate for Everyone Else


Republicans warn the bill will fund an army of IRS agents to crack down on small business owners and lower-income workers. Americans who earn less than $75,000 per year are slated to receive 60% of the additional tax audits expected under the Democrats' spending package, according to an analysis released by House Republicans.

They might be getting ready for a major Treasury Bond default scenario !!!!!

Confucius once said: When a government starts increasing their tax collection enforcements by 2x or 3x, it means a dangerous action is coming soon.

This new IRS hiring is doubling the IRS employees? Hmmm ☠️

Get ready for a new Brownshirt/Schutzstaffel brigade with new Membership ID Cards !! ☠️

Political shills have been claiming the IRS Commissioner is promising there will be no new audits and taxes on people making under $400.000. But wait, they can change their minds anytime right? And if that's the intent, why is it in the new law(s)? 🤣

all that money?

[Lets send em all a lot of money and then hire a bunch of mercenaries
to come and take everything they have. buhahahahaha that's a great one
Buhahahahaha!]

This is what they are.

A very apt comparison. I've been thinking for a while now that we're getting dangerously close to French Revolution territory. The number of government officials who've had "Let them eat cake" moments is getting pretty long. The first one that comes to my mind being our Transportation Secretary just kinda shrugging his shoulders when someone pointed out that most people can't afford to buy electric cars. And they're completely ignoring the growing food shortages that are being caused by prioritizing "Green" initiatives over the needs of the people. The FBI has become an openly-partisan Gestapo force, and now they want armed tax thugs. That could well be the final straw that incites widespread revolt against the system.

Oh those 150,000 IRS agents? They’re to make sure billionaires pay their fair share. All 1000 billionaires in USA.

It's like amphetamine addiction.

They need more money so they can get more IRS agents. They need more IRS agents so they can get more money.

Crackheads don't fall far from the tree.

I'm glad I'm broke.

Fifteen years ago, we would have laughed at such a thought. Hell, 6 years ago. But look at inflation, look at all the trillions the government has borrowed. Looking at that, this doesn't surprise me to hear that they want to weaponize the IRS to come in and take what they want. All I can say is the IRS agents would be better sticking only to the states on the left coast and upper east coast. The majority of the rest of the people between aren't going to take kindly to agents coming in to take whatever they want.
