REPUBLICANS PUSH BACK AGAINST IRS ARMING AGENTS
rsbnetwork.com/ ^ | 8/13/2022 | LAURA RAMIREZ

The IRS has received massive backlash from Republicans after setting specific requirements requiring new agents to be armed and use “deadly force.”

As previously reported by RSBN, IRS agents are expected to “maintain a level of fitness necessary to effectively respond to life-threatening situations” and “carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.”

Agents must also “be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments,” luring heavy criticism from Republicans.

The agency is seeking to hire 87,000 new agents after the Senate passed the Democrat-led Inflation Reduction Act, allocating $80 billion to the IRS. The alarming move prompted Republicans to warn middle-class families and small business owners that they would become targets of the agency, The Epoch Times reported.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who introduced an amendment that would have struck the funding for new IRS agents, took to Twitter, saying, “HELL NO. Every Republican should pledge we WILL NOT FUND these 87k armed new IRS agents who will target the American people.”

In this case they could not stop it.

It's a little late at this point. If they had raised these issues early in the process, they could have rallied the public and possibly made a difference.

Gosh, do you suppose with all these new agents they’ll finally be able to go after Hunter Biden? That would be swell...

Yes I agree. Every GOP senator should have been on the Capitol steps before the vote raising hell about the 87, 000 armed Union IRS agents who were brought online to terrorize small businesses and the American middle class

The prevention of a tyrannical government starts at the local, county and state levels.

I have raised ol holy hell these past weeks with my county and state reps.

A income tax sanctuary is in order. The NazicRATs did it with immigration..so each state can prevent the feds from an invasion by a unauthorized military type organization from coming in and harassing its citizens with lethal force..or any force for that matter.

Well, let me recommend a REAL PUSHBACK SOLUTION!

The FAIRtax!

The FAIRtax will replace the Marxist-inspired “progressive” income tax with a simple, easy to understand, easy (and CHEAP) to administer, flat rate National Retail Sales Tax and ABOLISH the IRS!

April 15th will become just another nice Spring day!

Go to https://www.fairtax.org and/or https://www.bigsolution.org to find out how you can help us do that.

We will never be a FRee country so long as we have a Marxist-inspired “progressive” income tax and an IRS!

All we have to do is convince the Congress and the Senate to get off their collective asses and do something FOR AMERICA! FOR ALL AMERICANS!

If we ALL work together, this LIEberal inspired “tipping point” can be used to advantage We the People, but we MUST get to work convincing our Representatives and Senators that FAIRtax is THE SOLUTION to the many problems we face!

One more thing..

Why would ANY political party do such a thing just prior to a federal election? Unless they know, or have set up something, this is political suicide.

People..even on this site, have no forethought about that.
