Sen. Joni Ernst has revealed that IRS EMPLOYEES OWE ~$50,000,000 IN UNPAID TAXES.

Yes.

The people who enforce the tax laws… aren’t paying them.

Let that sink in.

Nearly 6,000 IRS employees, almost 10% of the agency, have significant unpaid tax balances.

Average amount owed? About $8,000 per employee.
These are not recent bills. Many are from prior years. Some didn’t even file.

This isn’t a clerical issue. It’s a credibility crisis.

These employees know exactly how the system works, what gets flagged, what doesn’t, and where enforcement is weak.

That’s not just hypocrisy.
That’s tax fraud risk inside the tax authority itself.

So here’s the real question: Should Scott Bessent put IRS employees with unpaid taxes on probation, just like any other federal worker?

Because, if the IRS won’t enforce the rules on itself, why should the public trust enforcement at all?

Now there is a shite show govt agency. A few years back a friend of mine had a meeting with the IRS when they got audited. Showed up with documents in hand the day of the meeting only to find out the agent assigned to his case skipped the meeting and went on vacation. Multiple calls and emails went unreturned for weeks and then the bitch put a lien on his bank accounts. Even then she wouldn’t answer calls.. I spent the better part of a week helping him call the irs and sitting on hold for hours trying to get an agent. We were finally informed that once an IRS agent is assigned your account no other agent within the IRS is allowed to touch your file. You have to go through the assigned agent.

It took nearly 2 months to resolve and only because he noticed a bunch of names and extensions posted on the wall at the IRS office. Armed with that he dug through all of his paperwork and was able to find a name he believed was her supervisor and matched it up with the posted list of extensions. Once he got ahold of the supervisor, he was able to resolve in an hour what a worthless agent drug out for over 2 months
