If we have government departments, we might as well take full advantage of them. Any particular reason you are afraid of the IRS?
I'm afraid you have it backwards, they are taking advantage of us, not the other way around. More government programs almost always lead to more corruption and waste at taxpayer expense.
I am not afraid of the IRS, and to be honest they should be exposed and be made afraid of us. There is just no need for taxpayers to waste so much money, when other methods are available that would cut the department to the bone.
Fair tax, flat tax, or any method that gives our elected officials enough to provide for our safety(military), infrastructure(water ways, bridges, roads, border security, etc)
Let's have our employees(elected officials) provide a line item of every expenditure as a bill on a government website so that we the taxpayers can see exactly where OUR money is being spent, along with the elected officials that voted on each spending measure.
Surely the 13.7 billion dollars that it cost US last year to fund the IRS could have gone to better use.

$13.7 billion for overall operations in Fiscal Year (FY) 2021
Let's clean up this corrupt overreach, and once completed move on to the next waste of our hard-earned dollars.
My suggestions for cuts: Department of Education, Defund Planned Parenthood, no more government unions and find out who is spending money on corrupt and wasteful costs at our expense and hold them accountable.
My suggestions for increases: Border security, and more money for local law enforcement, fire departments and public safety.
