John Rich ✔ @johnrich

Instead of paying taxes next year I'm going to not pay and #pleadthe5th then say "I don't recall what happened" just like they're doing.

Of all the scandals the Obama administration is currently juggling, some theorize that the IRS’ targeting of its political enemies could do the most damage. After all, no other organization seems to have such unchecked power to intimidate and harass the average American, not to mention the arrogance to match. So if the IRS can plead ignorance and get away with it, why can’t the taxpayers?(continued)

Wasn’t there some political figure that said he filed his taxes electronic but there was some problem and they were never received by the IRS and he was trying to blame it on Turbotax?

Whether Rich is serious or not, would be a good movement to get going and just overwhelm the system with threats.

Other catch phrases, (commonly used by our Tyrannical, Central, Semi-Communist, Federal Government), are as follows:

“I must make sure that it (being taxed) never happens again.”
“I have no knowledge of what you are talking about.”
“I cannot respond until all the facts have been gathered.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Mistakes were made.”
“It would be illegal for me to reply until the Investigation is completed.”
“I will not interfere with an on-going investigation.”

And of course, my personal favorite: “What difference does it make after all this time?”

BTW, this just might, could become the words to a GREAT Country Song!

We can use all of those catch phrases when we #pleadthe5th like John Rich!

Great Idea!

_________

Rich John Rich holds the IRS at bay,
Snarling up their E-Forms with paper forms, YEAH!
Go Little John, and thwart The US Treasury,
If Timmy Geithner can do it,
Then so we! YEAH!

Hey, it will take someone with ba**s to counterattack the tactics of IRS and be in their face about it. It will cost him with lawyers - but I’m sure he’s willing to put country before money. Very few are. What could the IRS’s lawyers defense - you can’t do that?

That’s what I was thinking - there is a song in process and if it’s from him, I’m buying it.

Maybe an album - with the title...’I’m saddened’

” - - - What if millions did it? - - - “

Hmmmmmmmmmm - - - - ?

What if “it” was code for “FILE A LATE AS POSSIBLE, FEDERAL PERSONAL INCOME TAX EXTENSION RETURN?

After all, “ we must wait until all the facts have been gathered,” and here it is almost June and I am STILL getting tax documents to send to Tyrant Obama’s IRS Tax and Punishment Agency.

BTW, in this manner, our tax dollars might even arrive about the same time as the Central, Semi-Communist, Federal Borrow and Spending Plan for the next fiscal year is finally approved for the first time in 5 years.

Since Congress takes 5 years to come up with a Borrow and Spending Plan, then we should follow their fine example and get a 5 year extension on payment of our personal Federal Income Taxes.

What do mean, I owe.
Why am I the last to know.
I checked the audit to see what you mean.
The IG said, not to worry, it can’t be seen.

What can I say but I’m saddened it happened.
I know you understand because there’s been an overload
And I have no recollection of any letters you sent
I’m starting to believe you are hell bent.

Hahah! I like that a lot.

It’s time to start taking action since these arguments are undefeatable, non-pierceable and utterly impenetrable.

They are teaching us how to play, so let’s play.
