IRS Seeks Nearly $1 Billion Budget Increase For Hiring Spree

The Obama administration is asking Congress for a nearly $1 billion budget increase for the IRS, a move that would allow the agency to hire thousands more employees.

The administration is arguing that hiring additional IRS agents will more than pay for itself. The IRS wants to dedicate another $400 million to enforcement efforts, claiming that alone would raise $1.5 billion in additional revenue -- once all the agents are trained up in a few years.

Another billion to find more ways to steal from the working taxpayers and give it to useless deadbeats and criminals instead of cutting the spending. The second revolution is long overdue.

The IRS needs to be shut down.

We ARE going to shut it down. Between Nazi checkpoints for innocent people having to PROVE their innocence, to drones flown over the USA to "monitor citizens", to "stop and frisk" operations against INNOCENT citizens, to the TSA and Homeland Security running roughshod over the Contitutional protections we used to have, to the hammer of the IRS now being brought down on MORE people, things are going to reach a pressure point that cannot be stopped....I'd say keep buying food and weapons, but food is getting pretty damn expensive.
