The $740 billion spending bill includes a provision to allocate $80 billion to the IRS, of which $45.6 billion is for tax enforcement activities.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the IRS could hire as many as 87,000 new agents with the new funding, once the legislation is passed by the House and then signed into law.<\/p>\n<p>Rep.

It\u2019s something that should concern every American taxpayer,\u201d Emmer stated. \u201cThe IRS targeted conservatives during the Obama administration, so it\u2019s fair to wonder whether Joe Biden will use his new IRS army to attack conservatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/08\/09\/GettyImages-643949018-1200x801.jpg\"><\/a> Rep.
