Yes, the IRS workforce is aging out. Waves of retirees are anticipated. So get the damn hiring/training/experiencing pipeline up to speed.My understanding is that most of these "new" IRS employees are to replace existing employees about to retire or people already gone.
What is the appeal to this forum's anti-IRS posters...or to Republicans in general? .....What is the appeal of not collecting taxes that are legitimately owed to the American people?
I don't get it. When I was in business any division/unit head who didn't stay on top of his/her receivables got a Dutch Uncle meeting.....or it's like.
Or the door.
We were NOT in the business to provide our services for no pay. If we worked for you..... then you pay us. Period. Or else. Duh!

Ummm, no.The Obama used the IRS to destroy the grass root Tea Party political opposition and now the Democrats want to do it again.............The Republicans remember how that piece of shit Obama used the IRS to target the Tea Party.
The real world reality was scammers hiding under 'Patriot"-type designations in the tidal-wave of applications for 501c self-designated tax-free status.
There were folks travelling the country giving seminars and training on how to become a self-designated tax-free entity. It smelled of a con. And the IRS found enough conmen, grifters, and scammers doing it to concentrate resources into vetting these applications....and denying the most egregious of them.

If I as an elected official and was queried about that in a Townhall Meeting I would simply say...what poster Catsmeters says in the quote below this one.explain to their voters why the IRS wants to hire an army of new agents.
1. The current IRS is using outdated equipment and many are on the cusp of retiring.
2. It has been stated that the additional agents will focus on those making more the 400k.
3. Even if they also went after the poor, do you think the poor should not have to pay their taxes?
4. How did you come to the conclusion 87k agents is not needed?
Thank you, poster Catsnmeters. You succinctly describe the issue, the need, and the goals.
