Government Corruption
IRS seeks armed accountants ready for 'deadly force'
2022-08-11
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Even before Congress and President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
give the final OK for the IRS
...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
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.

"SAs are known for their financial investigative expertise in areas, such as, tax fraud, public corruption, cybercrimes, narcotics, terrorism, and much more. Today's sophisticated schemes demand the analytical ability of financial Sherlocks to trace transactions through complex financial records," said the agency.

Once on the trail, they must "be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments."

They have to work a minimum of 50 hours and be on call 24/7. And they have to look good.

And all for a salary of $50,704-$89,636 and 24 days off.

#27  Sorry Mercutio, I'll agree on author but point out the beginnings of the Barrayan Vor class. Tax Accountant simply shortened to Count.

#25  Build Back Better for who? To me it looks like this has been planned for a while. They have been buying up ammo since Biden took office.

#24  If the fix isn't in, its going to be interesting the following year in the appropriations process.

#23  I believe that after the midterms this nation will have strong support for abolishing the IRS.

"Nay. You put the whole revenuer in! You got that tree hugger last week."

"But, Mom! That one's all used up!"

#17  Oh, to protect themselves from all us right-wing white supremacist extremists they've been cataloging since J6 who are waiting to gun them down.

Are you in "The Catalog"?

#16  Why do they need to be armed when all they have to do is garnish our wages?

#13  Ref #11: There are many people in Ga. who would PAY to gain involvement in an effort to combat those SOB's. It wouldn't even be a fair fight.

#11  Seems Lois Bujold is prescient. In one of her Chalion books, she refers to armies of armed accountants roaming the countryside, stripping it bare and calling it "collecting taxes."

#9  "These are The President's Personal Diamond Couriers."

I'll take Affirmative Action hiring for $600. Alex.
They're going to be shooting our dogs at 4am and kicking our doors open for a $300 discrepancy on our tax returns.

Just the sort of money-losing operation we all expect of USGov.

#2  These armed federal agents are for use against US. The little guy. They aren't going to be raiding Google, Facebook and Citibank. They're going to be shooting our dogs at 4am and kicking our doors open for a $300 discrepancy on our tax returns.

Posse of well groomed gym rats needed.
Character, grit, all will be weeded.
Committed, self-serving bastitches
are welcome, not the well breeded.
Are you the type to shoot your own,
for just a few pennies of loan?
Then you're the one we want!
Even Eliot's best will be superceded.
24 days of the month off, power unimpeded.
Perks! Women! Young boys! Lands undeeded!
