“Must be willing to use force up to and including the use of deadly force.” Sick. The Democrats are at war against its own citizens.
Internal Revenue Service Hiring ‘Armed Agents’ for All 50 States
IRS plans to hire gun-carrying special agents in all 50 statesSpecial agents with the IRS’ Criminal Investigation division are the only IRS agents permitted by law to carry firearms as part of their duties

Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist reacts to revelations in the Hunter Biden investigation and President Biden’s tax-and-spending spree.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is looking to hire special agents who carry guns and make arrests with jobs available in all 50 states, according to a posting on the agency’s website.
The law enforcement branch of the IRS, known as the Criminal Investigation (CI) division, is hiring for the role at locations throughout the U.S. IRS special agents within the CI division are the only IRS employees who are authorized by law to carry and use firearms. IRS-CI investigates financial crimes, money laundering, tax-related identity theft and terrorist financing efforts.
Under the posting’s “major duties” section, the IRS says that special agents “[c]arry a firearm; must be prepared to protect him/herself or others from physical attacks at any time and without warning and use firearms in life-threatening situations; must be willing to use force up to and including the use of deadly force.”
Additionally, IRS-CI special agents must be “willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments.” The posting adds that special agents need to maintain “a level of fitness necessary to effectively respond to life-threatening situations on the job.”

Jobseekers must meet a number of other requirements, including having U.S. citizenship and being between the age of 21 at the time of completing the training academy and 37 at the time of appointment.
Would-be special agents with the IRS’ Criminal Investigation division must be able to pass pre-employment medical and tax exams, in addition to passing a drug test and being legally allowed to possess firearms.
The IRS’ job posting for the role on USAJobs opened in mid-February and will remain open through the end of the year. The posting lists 360 vacancies in 249 locations around the country — at least one of which is in each state.
IRS special agents in the CI division can expect a salary between $52,921 and $94,228 annually.
The IRS faced criticism last year when a similar posting went live amid debate in Congress over Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act, which included $80 billion in increased funding for the IRS over a decade — much of which was intended to help the agency crack down on tax evasion.
Similar language related to the use of force and carrying firearms is listed on other federal law enforcement job postings that involve field work and potentially dangerous situations.

The tyrants we are up against are using the same tactic Muslim use; slow subjugation. They grow and become the law, and then they don’t have to act friendly anymore.

If revenue was the primary goal we would have expanded our petroleum and natural gas industry, and we would have protected our domestic manufacturing with tariffs.

If you have no “federal income” then you owe no “federal income tax”.
The 16th Amendment granted NO NEW POWER OF TAXATION …..if it was not taxable BEFORE the 16th Amendment, it was NOT TAXABLE AFTER the 16th Amendment.

In case you are wondering where your tax dollars will go, beside Ukraine of course, they will provide federal subsidies to the CCP’s Confucius Institute Affiliation Schools.
Remember that when your armed IRS agent is preparing to blow you away because of an error that you made in your most recent tax return.

If taxes actually paid for anything besides interest, why are we 32 trillion in debt?

Rick Santorum says on Newsmax, with Greta, “Biden won because it was a referendum on Trump.”
WRONG.
Biden got installed in the presidency because the whole globalist crony deep-state Clinton-Biden crime family cabal and law-of-the-jungle “obama” banana-house junta plotted and schemed for four years about unleashing a virus, overturning the game board, illegally changing election laws, putting ringers in place, conniving about impeachments and bearing false witness to save their skins and worldwide, war-mongering grift and graft plantation to unseat a popular and re-elected American President in history’s most transparent electoral coup. At whatever the cost. They’re all criminals WHO WILL HANG.

FOR WHAT? IRS doesn’t do anything that should need a weapon! There is something else in the midst!!! If they wanna carry than we will too. If they want to threaten, lie, cheat be corrupt than we will be ready and if they wanna enforce whatever they enforce, well I guess we will shoot back. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!!! The IRS are corrupt, lying, cheating power hungry, greedy, controlling fools which we will NEVER trust, ever!!!!!! Someday the IRS will wish they never messed with the people they steal from!

Internal Revenue Service. They rob us and they help the rest of the world do the same. That explains replacing tariffs with income tax.

On one hand I don’t want any government agency to have too much power and yet people are lawless and the IRS agents could be in a dangerous situation.

The solution is to entirely annul the IRS along with the rest of the 80% of the federal government that isn’t provided for by the US Constitution

Yet another armed branch of the Government combined with severe attacks on self-defense. Add a healthy dose of Second Amendment undermining and the Biden Administration may yet be able to foment a citizen uprising against a Tyrannical and Oppressive Government.

As the David Horowitz Freedom Center calls it in one of its new booklets, we now have the Internal Radical Service. The IRS did not exist until the Democrat Woodrow Wilson served. It is reported that William Howard Taft, a Republican, said he would not sign a bill like the Federal Reserve Act. JP Morgan, the banker funded Teddy Roosevelt to run as a 3rd party, electing Wilson, who signed the bill, written by the bankers. Charles Lindbergh’s father was in congress and pointed out how bad the bill was. He even wrote a book about it.

“Must be willing to use force up to and including the use of deadly force.” Sick. The Democrats are at war against its own citizens.
This same admonition is for ALL Citizens of the Republic.
Send these “agents” packing of they show up at your door without your County Sheriff. NO “federal” agency has the authority to operate in any County without the express permission of the County Sheriff.
Read Sheriff Mack ….. send copies to your Sheriff.
Get informed and fight Tyranny.
