The Biden regime continues to weaponize all government agencies. Now we have the literal weaponizing of IRS agents to the tune of 87,000 new hires which effectively more than doubles the agency presently at 78,000 agents. A requirement for the new hires is that they ”carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.” So these are not your your stereotypical nerdy egghead poindexter accountants rather they, per the IRS’s own description, “combine accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes.”

The current far left leaders of the Democrat Party are not against guns, they just don’t want you to have them. They want John Q Citizen disarmed and helpless while they insist on having them all, just as they are not against police as long as they are THEIR police, federal police, who are under their control and do their bidding, as the FBI currently does evidenced by the unprecedented warrant and raid on a former US President’s home. It’s local law enforcement, not under their control but who answer to the individual states and counties, they want to defund and “reimagine” (i.e.federalize). 

The Democrat’s new 739 billion climate, health care, and “tax-and-spend package,” a reduced version of Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan, known laughably as “The Inflation Reduction Act,” which will actually increase inflation, was signed into law by Biden on August 16th and includes nearly $80 billion in new funding for the IRS. The bill is said to invest $370 billion in fighting climate change and $64 billion to lower costs for people with Affordable Care Act health plans. To pay for that, Democrats want the IRS to step up audits and enforcement efforts.

No doubt their targets will be billionaires, or at least those making over $400,000 a year, right? Wrong. The IRS doesn’t need to hire 87,000 new armed agents to go after some 800 billionaires in the country. THEY ARE COMING AFTER YOU, middle and lower middle class American. 51% of all audits last year went after taxpayers with incomes less than $75,000, only 23% of audits were aimed at people making over $200,000. They go after the lower and middle income taxpayers because they are helpless to hire a lawyer, or tax attorney, or CPA and fight back. In fact, according to an analysis of IRS data by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University poor households, those with less than $25,000 in annual earnings, are FIVE TIMES as likely to be audited by the IRS as everyone else. 

Without question, these new agents will be sicced disproportionately on hardworking Americans who make under $100,000 a year. These new armed agents hired by the Party which still advertises itself as the friend of “the little guy,” of the ordinary working class, will be tasked with getting over $100 billion in new revenue from such Americans, and given their past track record it is impossible to believe conservative patriotic Americans won’t be primarily in their crosshairs (possibly quite literally). This is yet one more way to harass, punish, and even jail their political enemies. This is merely one front in an all out war the Marxist Socialists, who are now in power, are waging against the American people who still believe in the Constitution and the rights and freedoms it affords them.
