Part of the narrative was how they would all have guns too.
It ignored the fact that most of those employees were actually customer service representatives, and you can see this year the huge increase in number of tax filers who were able to actually speak to someone from the IRS on the phone.

I was being hyperbolic. I didn't pay attention to the 87k news, since Fox News and Ted Cruz talked about it I assumed it was meaningless distraction.

I'm not a "journalist" nor do I, fact-sharer or opinion-spewer, have hundreds of thousands of followers. The obligations I have to society in this regard are lower than cable news.
Did they actually say that, cause that sounds pretty hyperbolic to what their narrative actually was, which is that 87k agents were being hired which would effectively be targeting middle class and small businesses, instead of big corps.
I have friends who were were wrongfully audited, and it’s a huge costly, stressful burden.
I don’t think it’s wrong to question how the IRS is managing its budget.
