Yes. It's all about making sure there is a struggling slave class. Taxing people is the same thing. The Federal Reserve prints up money like nothing to buy up bankster debt, but the government needs to bludgeon working stiffs out of their hard earned money where that extorted tax money is just a micro-fraction compared to the money that gets printed up. Also, the IRS gives people the opportunity to make a mistake on their taxes so they can penalize them even though the IRS already has a record of what a person owes them such that it is not even necessary to file taxes each year. The 87,000 new IRS agents they are planning to hire will be used to go after the higher hanging fruit (side gig income/small businesses) by trawling through peoples' bank transactions and Venmo/Square/Paypal transactions. It's a multi-pronged attack by the elites.
