Boarman03 Report post Posted August 19, 2023 Why do the agents need guns? Why can't they just call the highly trained police like everyone else? What is going to happen the first time an agent shoots someone over money or property? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted August 19, 2023 I recently read the IRS was no longer making unannounced visits to homes or businesses. No they should not be armed with anything but a calculator. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boarman03 Report post Posted August 19, 2023 Are they going to be held to the same standard as the rest of the citizens are? Why is the Government arming tax collectors? That sets a very bad precedent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted August 19, 2023 What worries me is the tax code is thicker than the Bible and no one truly understands it. We'll all be declared tax cheats. Another way to disarm the citizenry? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they'll tell you it is tax deductible. Problem is, it was all your money to start with and the tax deduction is not equal to the value of the money you spent! CPA can be several thousand especially with the Attorney. And yes, if they make a mistake, you take the hit. If you make the mistake, you take the hit. Typical government one sidedness. No wonder so many people are so angry most of the time. What's fair doesn't exist anymore for the most part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Reed Report post Posted August 20, 2023 The IRS conducts criminal investigations just like any other federal LE agency. I have been on several search warrants assisting them with the warrant. Everyone I worked with was a good person. I have worked with several federal agencies. Like most things, the line level agents are good people trying to do their jobs. The brass in DC are the swamp creatures. Military veteran. Wife and 4 kids. Sad day. https://www.odmp.org/officer/26770-special-agent-patrick-bauer 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
