Democrats’ ‘Inflation Reduction’ Bill To Make The IRS Larger Than FBI, Border Patrol, Pentagon, And State Department Combined
The Gateway Pundit ^ | August 7, 2022 | Alicia Powe

The Senate on Sunday passed the Democrats’ sweeping economic package that would allocate billions of taxpayer dollars to facilitate the expansion of the Internal Revenue Service’s workforce.

The IRS would receive $80 billion if H.R. 5376, the $750 billion “Inflation Reduction Act” passes the House and lands on Biden’s desk. The funding would mark a 600 percent increase from 2021 when the bureau received $12.6 billion.

The reconciliation package would also double the current IRS workforce by hiring an additional 87,000 employees to the bureau’s staff of 78,661 employees, a move that would make the IRS larger than the Pentagon, State Department, FBI and Border Patrol.

“The Pentagon houses roughly 27,000 employees, according to the Defense Department, while a human resources fact sheet says the State Department employs just over 77,243 staff. The FBI employs approximately 35,000 people, according to the agency’s website, and Customs and Border Protection says it employs 19,536 Border Patrol agents,” the Washington Free Beacon reports.

Is this insane or what? This is Obama's domestic private army he wanted to fundamentally transform America, like taxpayers pocketbooks more precisely.

It’s apparent that we take the House and Senate and get Trump back in office to dismantle this travesty, if fully passed.

This must be how their commandeering the communist insurrection through.

This is the communist force and it started under Obama. They’re probably spearheading the whole ESG movement that companies must kowtow too.

Dems rejected all efforts to mitigate the harms of this atrocious, totalitarian stink of a bill. Throw them all out!

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

The Democrats have a plan to destroy the middle class and replace them with a serf class

We should be getting rid of the IRS instead of growing it. Go to a national sales tax. That way, when congress raises taxes, everybody feels the pain and pays the price. Then, maybe voters would be less inclined to vote for tax and spend politicians.

This is the final nail in the Nation’s coffin!

Nothing in our history compares, even slightly, to this tyrannical action...

There is no civilized way back from this event...
There are no leaders capable of the required actions to rescue the Nation...

That is the most optimistic appraisal available...

This is the third term of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Couldn’t have done any of it without Assistant Democrats.

To: Macho MAGA Man; All
Regarding unconstitutional, unaccountable, election year federal spending by alleged election-stealing desperate Democrats, patriots need to do the following imo.

From related threads...

Patriots need to start working with their Trump-endorsed MAGA candidates for state government offices ASAP to effectively “secede” ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by repealing the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popularly elected federal senators) Amendments.

Once 16&17A are gone, unconstitutional federal taxes permanently stopped, each state will ultimately find a tsunami of new revenues (imo) that can be used to increase teacher salaries, also salaries of police and fire departments for starters.

Let's also include new state funding for infrastructure maintenance in that list. Undoubtedly many other state social spending programs as well to replace former unconstitutional federal spending programs.

In fact, Justice Louis Brandeis had seemingly reflected on Bingham's words (above) when he volunteered his "laboratories of democracy" metaphor to emphasized the power of the states to serve the people, ultimately depending on the kind of state social spending programs that the legal majority citizen voters of a given state want.

"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.

Corrections, insights welcome.

I must concur ... sadly.

Instead of recommending students pursue STEM or business
degress to create new solutions for our economy,
I would strongly recommend them becoming Tax Attorneys
to perpetually fight the Government, and further our decent into a completely Zero Sum 3rd World Economy.

Those other organizations will grow larger to restore balance so it shouldn’t be a problem.

The real question is; what is the IRS about to do
that would necessitate doubling their entire work force?
