I'm OK with armed IRS agents enforcing tax law. And if they feel the need to use deadly force in criminal investigations I don't expect them to fight off organized, international criminal gangs with a set of nunchucks.
And they really needed 10,000 of them?
How about cut government down to about a twentieth its size and fund it the way it was funded before income tax ?
87,000
Still, where criminals evade tax you will need physical force to collect what they owe-----guns and prisons. Scaling back the federal government is something I've always advocated. In any scenario for civilization to thrive you will need citizens who honestly pay their taxes.
Flat tax on consumption-------national sales tax is what they have in Europe. I don't care about the schemes for taxation if government is 20 times larger than Constitutionally allowed for---------and we agree on that!. I support less government, especially at the federal level. But I still think when we get that sorted our collectors will need weapons and prisons. People will cheat and they need to be caught and punished regardless.
Currently about 2000 IRS agents are authorized to carry weapons.
That doesn't seem like too many with 340 million people and a $25.5 trillion economy.

Most of them. After their wildfires, Australia and Canada both arrested people for arson. Hawaii fire was caused by electirc company.Show me a wildfire that doesn't involve climate change.
I’m tired of busting my ass every day and giving the state/fed government a third of my income while I don’t even have medical insurance. But the degenerates that hang in the alley behind the shop smoking/shooting everything in sight have the best medical insurance, free phones, free food & pocket money….. wrong answer!
Health care in this country is a disaster.
No kidding. I have insurance and I have been trying to get in to a hematologist since July 19th.
It’s not 10k stop it. Read the bill it’s 87000, who in their right mind wants to live with a government that seizes half your productivity at the point of a gun ?
If you have only ten armed agents that’s enough if the population sits and waits their turn to be abused and attacked
That's why I support both capital and corporal punishment. We dont have evidence to support my theory because it's not practiced here but I'm certain it would save many, many billions in mass incarceration costs if we executed murderers, rapists and egregious sex offenders. Criminals would stop doing many crimes if punishments were swift and severe.
Sorry, it's actually 1200 new agents that will be trained and armed to enforce our tax law.
