Your Non-Political IRS Hires Non-Partison Birthing Person To Terrorize Conservatives

The IRS official chosen to lead the new “centralized office” featuring the nearly 87,000 new employees funded in President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act was involved in the agency’s targeting of conservative groups that opposed Barack Obama’s reelection in 2012.

IRS official Nikole Flax

Nikole Flax served as the chief of staff for then acting IRS Commissioner Stephen Miller, who was fired amid a cover-up of the scandal. When Republican lawmakers sought communications related to the scandal in an investigation, Flax’s emails were among those the agency claimed were lost in a computer hard-drive crash. The IRS, the lawmakers charged, was attempting to “cover up the fact that it conveniently lost key documents in the investigation.”

@sunsporter1649 says

87,000 irs agents to investigate 1,000 people.

Sporty: check your math! The 1% wealthiest Americans are far more than 1000 people. Unless our population has suddenly dropped to 100,000 LOL!!!

Only about 6,500 of the new hires would be “agents.” The rest would be customer-service representatives, data specialists and the like. ...

As for the IRS coming after “hardworking Americans,” Treasury says the new law will result in a “lower likelihood of audit” for ordinary taxpayers, because technology upgrades will enable the IRS to target the actual tax cheats — the super-rich — for more audits. The wealthiest 1 percent defraud the government, and fellow taxpayers, of more than $160 billion a year.

Strange, isn't it, how interested republican idiots are in protecting those super-rich tax cheats and their $160 billion/year worth of fraud!!

@ElwoodBlues "Even before Congress and President Joe Biden give the final OK for the IRS to hire 87,000 more agents in an $80 billion package, the tax agency is revealing a priority job category that could get first dibs on the huge budget expansion.

On its jobs page is a listing of vacancies for special agents to be placed around the country to root out financial fraud.

But these are opening for more than just financial experts: They will also be armed.

Among the job requirements listed: “Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.”

Special agents, who can be placed around the nation and world, have an interesting job, according to the IRS description. They are financial analysts and armed officers ready for a shootout."

Any more bullschiff you wanna spew?

@ElwoodBlues And you kept telling me the irs is not hiring armed agents. Any more bullschiff you wanna spread, like bees are really fish, perhaps, or the southern border is secure? You left wing nut job marxists are full of bullschiff

ElwoodBlues · M

@sunsporter1649 NO, I kept telling you the IRS isn't hiring 87,000 armed agents, or even 87,000 agents.

I keep telling you that claim is a flat out lie. And you keep moving the goalposts and changing the subject.
