Bravo on the Eric Hoffer reference! His book (1951) by that title explains so much. Always worth a re-read!

The example described above involving “Agent Bill Haus,” is even stranger than it first appears. (I assume that was an inside gag. “Bill House” of the IRS. Get it?) The woman who was being harassed turned out to not even owe any money in back taxes. They admitted as much to her after the fact. So what was the purpose of the intrusion? Was it just intimidation for some unstated reason?

So why is "Agent Bill Haus" not in prison?

This is full on Socialism.

biden was instructed to add irs agents. This was to assist in the destruction of the middle class, as its money is taken and “redistributed” to the “oppressed.”

Indeed. There are, in fact, numerous legitimate reasons to use a pseudonym.

NONE of them apply to IRS agents acting in their official capacity as public “servants”.


Of course. The post I respond to posed it as a universal, and I found it ironic.

I don’t see the other side of this. If you work for the government then your name should be publicly available, especially to those with whom they interact. Are there dangers involved... absolutely. Most jobs have associated risks.
People should never be able to wield power in a secretive manner. The public should never trust government to police itself for rogue agents.
If a person can’t deal with those theoretical dangers then they don’t have to work for the public.

Should we say the same about the seal teams, special forces and undercover police?
