The IRS is about to grow to a whole new level with Congress and Biden likely passing the Inflation Reduction Act in the coming days. The bill will spend almost a trillion dollars, growing the national debts while also growing the size and power of the federal government,
An article on Fox Business News from August 10th reports:
"An online job posting for special agents within the law enforcement branch of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is causing a stir on social media, as Congress prepares to pass a spending bill that would greatly expand the federal agency.
A "key requirement" for applicants is that they have to be "legally allowed to carry a firearm," and "major duties" include also being able to "carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary." It also states that applicants should be willing and able to "participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments," according to the job posting.
The requirement that agents be willing to use "deadly force, if necessary" drew heated criticism online. The uproar over the post coincided with criticism of the proposed expansion of the IRS under the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes an $80 billion boost to the IRS over a 10-year period, with more than half intended to help the agency crack down on tax evasion.
If passed, the money would go toward filling 87,000 IRS positions, more than doubling the agency's current size. The bill passed in the Senate on Sunday with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tiebreaking vote. It now heads to the House for a likely vote at the end of the week."
How ironic is it that while the federal government is doing everything in its power to limit our Second Amendment rights, they are also hiring 87,000 new IRS workers who will be required to "carry a firearm" and be "willing to use deadly force?"
It sounds like the federal government wants to take away our guns while at the same time building their own standing army to keep us under control.
Are you okay with this? If not, join us at Convention of States and sign the petition to take back power from our out of control federal government.
