The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is requiring new special agents to carry firearms and be willing to kill Americans, and their dogs, if they deem it necessary.
On the IRS website, users online have pointed out that the agency instructs potential recruits to “Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.”

Some users have discovered that IRS policy allows for agents to use deadly force against Americans’ dogs or other “viscous animals when necessary for self defense or the defense of others.”

This comes as the Biden administration’s controversial “Inflation Reduction Act” spending bill includes provisions that would allocate nearly $80 billion in IRS funding, with $45.6 billion for “enforcement,” and the hiring of 87,000 more IRS agents.
“87,000 IRS agents will be hired with $80 billion taxpayer dollars when the Senate Reconciliation bill passes this weekend. And they’re buying more guns & ammo too. Lower to middle income Americans & small businesses will be the primary targets of Democrat’s new IRS force,” tweeted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Friday.
The bill would make the agency’s force larger than the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), State Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Pentagon combined.
The administration, along with Democrats who support the bill, insist that the newly expanded force of IRS agents will not target lower and middle class Americans with audits, but instead the rich, who are vastly outnumbered by everyone else.
However, some have noted that over 75% of IRS audits targeted Americans making under $200,000 per year.

In fact, an amendment to the bill introduced by Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) which would ban agency funds from being used to target working and middle-class Americans with audits and tax hikes was recently voted down.
Instead, the legislation states that Congress does not “intend” to raise taxes on households with annual incomes of less than $400,000 with the passage of the bill.
