Why Does The IRS Have Guns? Because Big Bro wants and needs that cash and will go to great lengths to get as much of it as they can get from everywhere they can get it.

Sounds like a paramilitary group, with offensive flags, logos and sayings!
Also sounds like a great way around âposse comitatusâ!
Like Trump stated many times â they are not after him, they are after you and meâ
At first I thought that was a trick question!

The IRS is not the federal government boogie-man people should fear. Rather, it is the utterly unconstrained spending by Congress and federal government that are literally printing money to fund their pet social programs and military adventurism (to include buying armored vehicles for agencies like the IRS).
Why does this matter? Printing money devalues your currency (inflation), which destroys wealth and income as surely as any tax demand, but does so with no oneâs fingerprints on the theft. For example, if you make $100,000/year and inflation runs at, say, 9%, that takes $9,000 out of your pocket without so much as a tax form or any government agent coming to your door with a gun.
The IRS has about 79,000 people and is hiring 87,000 more â thatâs 166,000 people. For reference the marines only have 177,000 active duty service members. By my math something doesnât add up and Americans should not have to fear their Government.

When you realize you are bankrupt but donât want to admit it to anyone else you start trying to scrounge up every nickel and dime from underneath every cushion in order to try and find enough cash to pay next months rent.
Or in the case of our corrupt government you spend billions of more dollars to hire more tax collectors in order to try and squeeze a few extra million out of the serfs under your control.

What kind of firearms do IRS agents carry?
Are they the type that the current president refers to as âweapons of warâ?

I want to know why we even have the IRS? Because if you look at and read the U.S. Constitution the IRS IS NOT MENTIONED ONCE IN IT. So why do we have it just like so many other agencies that ARE NOT MENTIONED IN THE CONSTITUTION? Time to start DOWN SIZING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. BECAUSE IT HAS AND IS NOW WAY TO BIG.

I donât think any agencies are named in the Constitution. The framers left it open for the 3 branches of government to figure things out.
I think one of the big problems is that these agencies get created, and then never go away. They just grow in size, number, and power with very little oversight or restraint. Weâre innovative enough to create them, but not enough to put an expiration date on them.

This communist government we are currently under, is slowly building its federal police force. The campaign to promote and raise crime while decimating and demonizing the countries police forces are all part of the plan to start their federal police force. Hitler had them, Stalin had them, Pol Pot, Mussolini, Mao and now joe. They are doing the same thing with our military, using their woke insanity to dissuade any real American men & women, who want to serve their country, not to.
