IRS Backtracks, Edits Job Posting Seeking Agents Willing to 'Use Deadly Force' After Online Outrage_我的网站

一 |     The IRS deleted a job listing seeking “new special agents” who are “willing to use deadly force, if necessary” from their website, following a fierce backlash on social media Wednesday–only to reupload it within a day with the offending portion removed.,The IRS has removed the line "Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary" from their IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agent listing following the fiasco yesterday.Archived here: https://t.co/vBy6lB841RActive link: https://t.co/uvwbrAkIit pic.twitter.com/vNmcSXuD7w— Ford Fischer (@FordFischer) August 11, 2022,Per the now-updated page on the IRS website, “IRS Special Agents are considered the premier financial investigators for the Federal government.”,“Special Agents are duly sworn law enforcement officers who are trained to ‘follow the money,’” the listing says, warning that “no matter what the source, all income earned, both legal and illegal, has the potential of becoming involved in crimes which fall within the investigative jurisdiction of the IRS Criminal Investigation.”,The posting sparked a wave of condemnation from ordinary citizens and influential politicians alike, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who took to Twitter to express his opposition to the proposed new IRS jobs:,“HELL NO. Every Republican should pledge we WILL NOT FUND these 87k armed new IRS agents who will target the American people.”,HELL NO.Every Republican should pledge we WILL NOT FUND these 87k armed new IRS agents who will target the American people. https://t.co/BmKZVjVdNx— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) August 10, 2022,Funding for the special agents in question is likely to be drawn from a huge budget boost the IRS anticipates, with Democrats in the House set to approve the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act.”,Along with around $430 billion the Biden administration says will address climate change and extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, the new spending bill promises to pump $80 billion into the IRS over the next ten years - more than doubling the size of the agency with over 87,000 new positions. According to the now-updated job listing, many of them will be armed; one of the “key requirements” is that applicants “be legally allowed to carry a firearm.”,The ad in question was first noticed by documentarian Ford Fischer, who pointed out in a subsequent post on Twitter that, by June, the criminal division of the IRS had spent more on ammunition in the previous three months than they typically spent in an entire year in the recent past.,Fischer told Sputnik News he finds it “fascinating” that “following the attention [he] brought to this job listing, the page went down for a while, and now with it back online, the ‘willingness to engage in deadly force' line has been removed.”,“The reality is that while perhaps finding some renewed relevance in today's news cycle about the IRS, this listing isn't particularly unusual,” Fischer notes. “The agency has been spending more than $600,000 annually on ammunition, which has been charted out for at least the past three administrations.”,“What's new is that while the left (to be clear, I mean real leftists - not Democrats) have been fairly adamant in their opposition to law enforcement at all levels, the Republicans seem to find opposition when the politics line up. For example, they currently are deeply critical of the FBI, and IRS.”,Opposition to the spending bill authorizing the IRS expansion has come almost entirely from the GOP. A recent analysis by House Republicans found that 60% of new audits expected to be unleashed by the doubling in IRS personnel will fall on those making $75,000 or less a year. But Democrats claim those making less than $400,000 will not be targeted by the new IRS agents.,The IRS reportedly did not respond to inquiries by Fox News or the National Review about its removal of the job posting.。    高市早苗首相が電光石火の衆院解散で、てんやわんやの年明けでしたが、芸能界も驚きのニュースが続きます。

二 | 米倉涼子（50）は243日ぶりに公の場に姿を見せ、活動休止から8カ月が過ぎた元TOKIOの国分太一（51）には新たな動きがありました。今回もいつものメンバーが深掘りします。　週刊誌記者　まさかの衆院解散だったね。解散から投開票まで16日間という戦後最短の決戦。36年ぶり真冬の総選挙は、雪や寒さで取材も苦労した。　ワイドデスク　高市首相の「自分勝手暴走解散」なんて批判もあった。なのにふたを開けたら歴史的圧勝。討論会のドタキャン騒動など失点になりそうだったけど、高市フィーバーで公示前の198から戦後最多316議席に大きく伸ばした。　リポーター　でも開票センターの首相は笑顔少なめだった。あまりに勝ち過ぎ「浮かれてると思われないよう笑顔は控えて」と党の指示があったようだ。　週刊誌記者　初当選の“高市チルドレン”は66人。2005年の郵政解散で当選した“小泉チルドレン”杉村太蔵氏のような奔放な言動を恐れてか、新人教育セミナーを行ってるみたいだね。勝ち過ぎたからこその悩み。とにかく「高市さんに特別表彰を」なんて声も出るほどの圧勝だ。　スポニチ本紙デスク　さすがに冗談だろうけど、中道改革連合の野田佳彦前共同代表を表彰しようって声が自民党内で出たと聞いた。

三 | 野田氏は首相時代の2012年、自ら解散に踏み切り、民主党は壊滅的な大敗を喫した。　リポーター　野田氏に2回も救われたってわけか。確かに自民党内も序盤は強い危機感があったと聞く。連立解消で離れた公明票が立民系議員に流れたら、大幅に議席を減らすとの見方もあった。　ワイドデスク　でも立民系の中道議員は小選挙区で7人しか勝てなかった。安住淳前共同幹事長や岡田克也氏、枝野幸男氏ら重鎮が大量落選して焼け野原。恨み節が噴出してる。参院や地方の立民議員は中道合流に及び腰だし、政党交付金も激減するから党職員のリストラは不可避。結党間もないのに早くも分裂含みの様相だ。

四 | 　本紙デスク　新代表・小川淳也氏の下、党の立て直しが急務だけど、一部でささやかれるのは、玉木雄一郎氏率いる国民とのタッグ。ともに香川県立高松高校から東大法学部に進学した先輩後輩。

五 | 小川氏が新代表になった際には一番に玉木氏に報告したようだし、玉木氏も「野党連携を図っていく」と述べている。

六 | 　週刊誌記者　玉木氏は選挙前に協力を否定したけど、中道の救世主になるのかな。首相からも「親和性が高い」などと“プロポーズ”を受けているけど、昨年も秋波を送られながらグズグズしすぎて、維新に先を越された。優柔不断な面がある。　本紙デスク　衆院で3分の2議席を得た高市政権だけど、国民は“白紙委任”したわけじゃないからね。

七 | 野党も存在感を見せてほしいところだ。
