The IRS website goes on to point out that students involved with the Adrian Project are “‘sworn in’ as special agents” before donning protective vests, fake guns, handcuffs and radios to engage in a mock case and suspect takedown. In case you thought the IRS needed 87,000 more agents to help you with your tax returns and audit billionaires, watch this: Highlights from the IRS Adrian recruiting project. Massie also tweeted a video showing the IRS demonstrating its criminal investigation activities to college students on campus via the Adrian Project. Thomas Massie (R-KY) brought renewed attention to the IRS this week amid criticism over the IRS’s plan to hire 87,000 new agents, who are expected to carry guns, and conduct criminal investigations and arrests.
The bill contains the first funding for hiring, over the course of the next 10 years, 87,000 new IRS employees, many of whom will become armed enforcement agents as our spendthrift government plans to clamp down on virtually all earners in order to service the massive $30 trillion-plus debt Congress and presidents for decades have wracked up.Īnd the Treasury Department, under which the IRS falls, has already established a recruitment program that essentially grooms older high school and college students to become agency enforcers.įor years, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has run a recruitment program called the Adrian Project during which high school and college students are given tactical vests and fake guns to carry out mock arrests of individuals who are wanted for tax-related crimes. As Democrats celebrate their recent legislative victory - another massive spending bill that is laughingly referred to as the “Inflation Reduction Act” - critics have glommed onto a portion of the measure that should frighten every taxpayer in the country, regardless of which political party they support.
