A Vast Armed Tax Collecting Agency

Quote:
Under the Inflation Reduction Act, the agency would receive $80 billion in funding to hire as many as 87,000 additional employees. The increase would more than double the size of the IRS workforce, which currently has 78,661 full-time staffers, according to federal data. The new money that the agency would receive would increase the agency’s budget by more than 600 percent. In 2021, the IRS received $12.6 billion.
Why does the IRS need so many new full-time employees? Why does it need a six-hundred-percent budget increase? It’s all part of the administration’s ongoing efforts to squeeze the American middle class. According to a Congressional Budget Office analysis, the new behemoth IRS would result in more than $200 billion in additional revenue for the federal government over the next decade. This is because the new IRS agents would devote substantial energy to squeezing Americans and bleeding them dry.
It’s easy to see where all this is going. The new super-IRS will be as corrupt and politicized as the FBI already is, and would use its new staff and money to go after dissenters from the Leftist regime in Washington. The IRS is already one of the most hated and feared of all federal agencies, and one that was already politicized during Barack Obama’s first two terms, when the infamous Lois Lerner began persecuting conservative nonprofit organizations.
