    So, I went to my tax guy yeterday and he said the bazillion new IRS agents actually total only around 200. That is all the applicants that applied for the jobs because they were only offering $25,000 a year each.:D

    Yeah, I read somewhere that, once the house went R, the money for all those new hires got choked. Fine with me. They should abolish the IRS and figure out how to make a flat national sales tax work. Our current tax code is an obscenity.

    A dog catcher would laugh at that salary, and scratch at the same time.

    Tax season is only a relatively short amount of time, so they may just be part time jobs.....hence the $25K. It would be perfect for a college student taking accounting.

    The original bill allowed them to be armed, hence the fulfillment of Obama's "Civilian Army" that he spoke about. Training to carry arms in the federal government involves a good bit of training time and recertification. I cannot imagine that college students could deal with that.

    That is what was in the bill. They will be going after the little guys all year long.

    They already have two Gestapos working for them. Plus an army coming across the border so they have all the votes and militia they will need for what few patriots are left.

    That army may just backfire on them.

    Had they jailed those that were guilty of targeting conservatives there would have been some available slots already.
