A new video shows college-aged students in an IRS recruitment program carrying mock guns and preparing to make arrests of suspected tax criminals, following shortly after President Joe Biden signed into law a bill that would give billions of dollars to the agency in order to conduct more frequent and scrupulous tax audits.
The video was highlighted by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who tweeted a link to the clip while suggesting that the video would dissuade anyone who “thought the IRS needed 87,000 more agents to help you with your tax returns and audit billionaires,” hearkening to the Biden administration’s rhetoric about the additional IRS funding in the Inflation Reduction Act, which President Biden signed into law last month.
