The Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act contains provisions calling for the hiring of an additional 87,000 IRS agents. This would more than double the number of IRS personnel from its current 79,000 employees. Many taxpayers may wonder how this would reduce inflation. A job description posted by the agency gives us a clue. According to this posting, the IRS is looking for employees willing and able to use deadly force if needed to collect taxes owed.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) explained "inflation is caused by too much unnecessary spending. At current staffing levels, the IRS lacks the manpower to ensure all taxes due are paid. By increasing the number of agents authorized to use deadly force we can ensure that taxpayers pay more. The five million rounds of ammo that the IRS currently has on hand may finally be put to good use. Now, I know Republicans are trying to make this sound scary, but as long as you pay what you're told you owe you won't get hurt."
Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, called increased IRS enforcement "an important first step. For decades the government's resources have been inadequate to meet the people's needs. Meanwhile, selfish and frivolous spending by private citizens has been squandering the nation's wealth. Stronger IRS collection efforts are urgently needed. After the November elections, I will be introducing legislation to raise taxes. The needs for food, housing, and clothing will be met through government allocations. Private funds previously used for selfish or frivolous purposes will be confiscated. Inequality in America will finally be eradicated."

If it weren’t for the 50,000 workers at the IRS who will be retiring in the next 8 years, that is. Those Federal pensions are really good. They have a lot of employees over 55.
Are the extra IRs agents going to insure that taxpayers who have money coming back will receive those refunds in a prompt fashion? I know that some were not getting it back at all promptly before.
Ever notice that “The” & “IRS” spells Theirs?
Yes, and will use deadly force if necessary to persuade the taxpayers to accept the refunds.
