IRS agents should not be armed. They are not law enforcement. They are taxers.

I know this is going to sound extreme, and a little unfair. And to some degree it is. I think we reach that point in this country. In any case my thoughts are if you’re in the IRS you are either one of the bad guys or you are a collaborator.

Whistleblower?

Interesting that the IRS is hiring former military and training them in firearms. Like they are planning for war against Americans.

“IRS agents should not be armed. They are not law enforcement. They are taxers.”

And they work for an unconstitutional agency that is the collection arm for the international bankers the run the Fed. They’ve been farming us since their inception and the new armed agents are to keep us in line until they completely destroy the middle class.

I didn’t find any articles related to this on FR.

Just have to search with minimum words.

IRS is not unconstitutional. The Income Tax Amendment to the Constitution empowered it under the “necessary and proper” and it has nothing to do with international bankers.

It’s perfectly fine to hate the IRS and the income tax. But we need to maintain historical reality. The Income Tax Amendment was OVERWHELMINGLY popular (obviously, as an amendment) and settled a long festering problem of tariff allocation that constantly pitted different states and interest groups against each other.

I would far prefer a fair tax, that would be collected by a tiny remnant of the IRS. But it’s not happening.

Best History Lesson of the day!.

Armed tax collectors is the reason the United States came into existence.

I searched for “IRS” in the title, and nothing came up.

Unfortunately, 3 letters don’t activate FR search.

‘Agent’, by contrast, when the default search is changed from Keyword to Title, yields

Awkward, for sure, but does work.

I wonder if their “red flags” are automatically lifted if they are hired by the IRS.

Okay, I learned something new. I had assumed that if I type “IRS” for Title, then any article with “IRS” in the title would come up.
