Now that the Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act (that doesn’t reduce inflation) the IRS is about to become larger than United States Marines and they are ramping up their criminal investigative division.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) recently received images of the IRS “actual recruiting program.

Massie is warning that the IRS is coming for the middle class.
The IRS has never pointed a gun at a billionaire or his employees, so why does the IRS need 87,000 new agents, AR-15’s, and 5 million rounds of ammunition?
They’re not gunning for billionaires or their bank accounts.

The IRS already has 4,600 armed agents with more than 5-million rounds of ammunition. Now they 6x the budget and add 5 infantry divisions worth of agents.
Time to repeal the 16th amendment (income tax) and use a far less invasive and more effective means of taxation. #FairTax https://t.co/RgUnkTcIfl

Matter of fact, the IRS job posting showing that Agents would need to use deadly force was taken down after it caused an uproar but then when reporters started asking questions was put back up.
From the New York Post:
A link to a job posting for “Criminal Investigation Special Agents” appeared to have been briefly deleted on Wednesday, following online criticism of the posting’s language, though it reappeared back online after a FOX Business inquiry to the agency.
A “key requirement” for applicants is that they have to be “legally allowed to carry a firearm,” and “major duties” include “Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary” and “Be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments,” according to the job posting.
Once again the goons at MSNBC tried to claim Massie’s post was fake news until the Congressman pointed out that the picture in the upper right showed trainees wearing masks.
Just one problem with your statement, MSNBC news guy: They’re wearing masks in the upper right picture. This is an ongoing program. https://t.co/FkHIstbMqL
