This might be a good chance to pick up some surplus pistols and ammo.

May as well cut taxes while cutting jobs. One stop shopping.

I guess the IRS doesn’t get their army of 87,000 auditors for the population.
Now if they could undo the rule of alerting the IRS to any purchase we do over 600 bucks.

And that's before any reform to the tax code.

Maybe I'm being over optimistic, but I expect lots more in store for the IRS.

Have all irs employees been forced to work in office yet?

I own a business and for 5 years I’ve had some relatively minor issues with the irs that revolve around 10k dollars or less.

They send me demanding letters where I have only 10-30 days to respond. Then when I do respond it takes 3-12 months for them to reply. And most of their replies state they need more time.

They will not answer phone nor schedule any appointments.

They are unwilling and unable to do their jobs. Fire every last mfr that works there! Let’s eliminate fed income taxes and simply go to a national sales tax and tariffs. Simplify!

Both Democrats and Republicans have been screaming for years that they need more employees at the IRS.

No, they don’t.

What our nation’s agencies, including the IRS, need is competent employees with enough intelligence to answer basic questions. The IRS writes the tax instructions manuals, they should dang will be able to answer questions about the information and instructions it contains.

We don’t need 87,000 IRS employees “working” while doing no actual work and sometimes even having a second job at which they also do no work.

Federal employees have become entitled lay-a-bouts. Fire them all and hire ambitious hard working entitled people who have our nation’s best interest at heart.

The IRS has 89,767 Full Time Employees, approximately. So this about a 10% decrease in Scientologists, err I mean IRS employees.

Along with pretending to work all day remember how much we can save by disarming the IRS:

“The IRS has spent $35.2 million on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment since 2006, including $10 million in weaponry and gear since 2020. These purchases are used by the IRS’ Criminal Investigation Division that has jurisdiction over federal tax crimes.” Jun 13, 2023
Joni Ernst website. from Ernst Works to Disarm IRS.

Debate topics from Congress.gov about IRS weaponry.
Reasons cited for IRS employees to carry weapons.

To protect themselves and the public
To execute search and arrest warrants
To conduct undercover operations

Come on Democrats! This is your big opportunity to win back public support! Get out there and defend the IRS! That’ll rally the public behind you!

Under the terms of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, the agency received an additional $80 billion in funding to hire another 87,000 employees.

More than 900K per employee ?
Was it 10 years of funding or a slush fund ?

[NEW: My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk’s henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.

— Ron Wyden (@RonWyden) February 13, 2025]

That is absolutely a bold-faced lie. Such information is in a special application system and has very restricted access.

ALL accesses in that system are tracked. I worked at one of their secure locations over 4 decades ago.

Biden spoke about hiring 87,000 IRS agents - how many did he hire?

@ELON make sure to secure the guns and ammo in the armory.
