The Taxman Cometh

There are 3,242 counties (not all called “counties”) in the United States.

The U.S. Census in 2020 showed the country with 329,500,000 people.

Doing the division shows the average county has just over 100,000 residents.

McHenry County has 307,000 people.

Under the Democrats recently passed Inflation Reduction Act (sic), almost 87,000 more Internal Review employees will be hired.

Dateline: Mordor.  In order to ensure the kingdoms of Middle Earth pay their fair share to The Great Eye, Saruman has created an army of 87,000 tax collectors in the breeding pits of Orthanc Tower.

“I have finally built an army of tax collectors worthy of Mordor,” exclaimed the corrupted White Wizard as he looked upon his creation. “Tax collectors were elves once, taken by the dark powers, tortured and mutilated. A ruined and terrible form of life. Now… perfected! Go and collect tribute from men and elves!” …The army of tax collectors will be equipped with armor, swords, and spears in case anyone objects to their tax collecting.
Babylon Bee – The Fake News You Can Trust.

Again, doing the division, residents in the average county will have to contend with almost twenty-eight new tax collectors.

Being over three times the size of the average county, it seems likely that our share of the new taxmen/women will be about eighty.

That’s enough employees for a new office right here in a river city.

  1. This will more than double the current number of IRS employees.

    This makes no sense in today’s world of digital everything.

    How many employees did the IRS have 2021?

    about 81,600 employees

    In FY 2021, the IRS employed about 81,600 employees, including 10,530 temporary and seasonal staff.

  2. If they go for overweight billionaire Democrat governors, then I am all for it

  3. Why don’t Democrats just have a garage or bake sale and let me keep the money I’ve earned?

  4. It seems that everything that Democrats do is reckless and irresponsible. On the national level as well as here in our State of Illinois.

  5. The self-employed, gig workers and small business owners will be subject to far more scrutiny.

    People who’ve have to endure more than enough stress.

  6. Isn’t freezing/confiscating all of your assets enough for these fascists?

    No. Why?

    Because they must force physical confrontations with the citizens,
    the objective is to confiscate ALL FIREARMS – and you know what comes after that.

  7. LOL Abe. Look at what happened in Australia during Covid. The DC elites would never do that.

    We need those extra agents to audit rhe 2m+ and growing illegals coming across the border, not the middle class that’s paying for them.

    Fix the elections and dump mail in voting and the corrupt machines. Problem solved. And trust me that hayseed Bailey and our selected state senator Salvi won’t lift a finger to do that.
