RE: Weaponizing the IRS
87,000 New IRS Agents Will Join Union That Gives 100% Of PAC Funds To Democrats
Quote:Democrats just doubled the size of a major Democratic war chest.
Yes, remember those 87,000 new IRS agents that will be added to the federal payroll thanks to the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act (a misnomer if there ever was one)? The vast majority of those agents will likely join and pay dues to the IRS’ public sector union, the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU).
Per Americans for Tax Reform, the union gave 100% of its Political Action Committee (PAC) funding to Democrats for the 2022 cycle, including $30,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, $30,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and $30,000 to the DNC Services Corporation, a group dedicated to “coordinating party organizational activities.”
It also gave 98.79% of its federal candidate spending for the 2021-2022 cycle to Democrats, most notably House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). The NTEU specifically prioritized donating to key Democratic battleground races, such as donating $5,000 to Raphael Warnock’s Georgia Senate race and $10,000 to Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.).
And that’s not all. In 2019, it was reported that IRS employees spent 353,820 hours of taxpayer-funded union time (TFUT) on the job. That means during a normal workday, instead of assisting taxpayers with filing their taxes, IRS agents spent hours working for an entity that spends 100% of its PAC funding on Democrats. This is an organization where if you call them, you have a 1-in-50 chance of reaching an actual human being. Those 353,820 hours could have been used to help taxpayers instead of strengthening a public sector union.
As Aaron Withe, CEO of Freedom Foundation, put it, taxpayer dollars are being used to “double the size of an agency that has already weaponized itself against those taxpayers it deems its political opponents.”
By doubling the size of the IRS, Democrats are doubling the number of dues the NTEU receives, dues that will be funneled to bankroll Democratic political campaigns. NTEU dues range from $16 to $23 per pay period. If all 87,000 new IRS agents were forced to unionize, the number of dues collected would amount to at least $33,351,168 per year — all ripe for the taking by Democrats. How clever.

RE: Weaponizing the IRS
Just reported that the new IRS Federal Job Postings state that agents must be "willing to carry a firearm."

RE: Weaponizing the IRS
I am quite serious.
The only way to deal with this is to apply in mass for these jobs. 200,000 old men need to apply, and when we don't get hired, we can screw up the whole thing with discrimination lawsuits.

RE: Weaponizing the IRS
IRS: Criminal Investigations annual report 2021 offers a glimpse into what a weaponized IRS looks like
Quote:After the Senate passed the "Inflation Reduction Act" aka the pour gasoline on the burning economy act, everyone reeled at the tax increases included in the bill, but what really set off alarms was the bit about hiring 70,000 armed IRS agents.
So, what exactly does a militarized IRS look like?
This year, the IRS: CI division published their annual report, and they looked awfully busy!
![[Image: article-62f68987365b0.jpg]](https://media.notthebee.com/articles/article-62f68987365b0.jpg)
Now, keep in mind they did all that with only 2,046 special agents. Imagine what they could do with 70,000.
Meanwhile the regular side of the IRS, the one with the accountants doing crazy things like math, is so under-staffed, they're still only answering 1 in 10 calls.
But when two plus two can equal five, who wants to waste time doing math when you can bust people trying to stay ahead of inflation by investing in cryptocurrency, which the report says accounted for 93% of all CI seizures?
![[Image: article-62f68a0364fee.jpg]](https://media.notthebee.com/articles/article-62f68a0364fee.jpg)
The next big thing on the list is going after businesses that applied for PPP loans.
![[Image: article-62f68a3ed9ff2.jpg]](https://media.notthebee.com/articles/article-62f68a3ed9ff2.jpg)
Were there bad actors in these cases who deserved to go to jail? Probably.
Crypto is a money-launderer's paradise, and when the government indiscriminately throws cash in the air, people are likely to grab at it any way they can, even illegally.
However, the IRS seems to be doing pretty well taking care of these cases. Why do they need so many armed agents?
Well, let's not forget that even though Biden backed down on carrying this out, his administration is still looking to completely takeover and monitor every transaction you make:
Biden admin proposes "comprehensive financial account reporting regime" for virtually all your digital exchanges, including PayPal, crypto, and more!
And they were trying to slide a communist through that wanted to get rid of private banking in favor of government banking.
Here's Biden's Commie Banking Nominee Calling for "No More Private Bank Accounts"
When you combine that with these photos of IRS agents practicing raiding middle-class American houses, guns hot, I'm starting to think they haven't totally given up on those plans.

![[Image: article-62f68adf38739.jpg]](https://media.notthebee.com/articles/article-62f68adf38739.jpg)
I feel like starting a "Make Friends With a Prepper" campaign or something.

Weaponizing the IRS
They’re coming to get their COVID money back.
So, put your mask on, get your shot, and comply with the new IRS Stazi.

RE: Weaponizing the IRS
The IRS Already Spent Over $20 Million On Military Equipment And Ammo.
Quote:The Internal Revenue Service has spent tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars purchasing guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment.
Reports of the agency’s massive spend on weapons and combat equipment appear to be at odds with its stated purpose of “providing America’s taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax responsibilities.” It also resurfaces as President Joe Biden deploying 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents to audit Americans.
Prior to the minting of President Biden’s nearly 100,000 new IRS agents, the agency already had a sizable budget, of which tens of millions of dollars had been spent on purchasing military-oriented gear.
Between the fiscal years 2006 and 2019, the agency spent $21.3 million on guns, ammunition and military-style equipment, using the funds to stockpile 4,500 guns and five million rounds of ammunition.
The government watchdog group Open The Books conducted a case study itemizing the items purchased by the IRS between fiscal years 2015 and 2019.
Of a total of $8.7 million spent, $4.5 million was directed towards guns and ammunition while $4.2 million was designated for combat equipment.
![[Image: 0379DBD5-C8D7-467A-9282-C1A28C287A6B-800x1035.jpeg]](https://thenationalpulse.com/wp-content/uploads/0379DBD5-C8D7-467A-9282-C1A28C287A6B-800x1035.jpeg)
“As of January 1, 2019, the IRS owned 4,600 guns and stockpiled 5 million rounds of ammunition. This included 621 shotguns, 539 long-barrel rifles, [and] 15 submachine guns,” explains Open The Books in its report, “The Militarization of The U.S. Executive Agencies.”
The weapons and ammunition are believed to be used by the agency’s roughly 2,200 Special Agents, who are “investigative forensic accountants utilizing specialized technology to uncover sophisticated schemes to defraud the government, as well as assist in counterterrorism and anti-narcotics efforts,” noted Open The Books.
In addition to handguns, items such as long guns, shotgun ammunition, night vision scopes, ballistic shields, and several forms of body armor were also purchased by the IRS with its taxpayer-provided millions.
It remains unclear whether or not President Biden’s boost to the IRS budget mole results in the agency gaining more military style equipment or weapons.

RE: Weaponizing the IRS
It's not just the IRS. Do you know that during that orgy of munition and ammunition buying by the Feds, that most every Federal agency participated and created their own little army? Why does the Department of Education need armed agents?
