Nice try at distraction from the topic which was the HIGH-LEVEL officials at the IRS who write LAWLESS regulations to oppress and illegally tax Americans.
So, I think you know very well that I was not referring to “front line” postal employees. I see these folks everyday and do know they are working very hard, doing their LEGAL jobs, providing a PUBLIC SERVICE every WORK day. I’ll ignore, for the moment, that subset of those postal workers (who are most likely union officials) who do things such as treat ABSENTEE BALLOTS as third class mail and stash them away for three weeks before introducing them into the mail-stream.
So let’s put aside the distractions and get back to HIGH-LEVEL federal employees who are in fact trying bypass the law in their writing of federal regulations that implement taxes that were not authorized by the underlying laws. Those are the folks who mistakenly think they are our overlords. THOSE lawless individuals and their illegal and oppressive actions are the subject of the opening post—and I think that you know that.
And your statement that these lawless high-level officials “...probably despise you for having this attitude...” is probably correct. Such oppressors would typically hate those of their “subjects” who object to and do not recognize the legality of the rule of such overlords.
And, by the way, you come across as one who is INTIMATELY familiar with such highly paid (above and unrestrained by the law) headquarters type folks and their attitudes.
Sorry if you think I’m being “uppity” and not having the proper attitude toward my rightful overlords and their right to rule by diktat and fiat.
Now, sarcasm aside, the top officials in all these agencies DO NOT WRITE THE RULES. They have folks on staff somewhere who specialize in that ~ and they slip stuff in. What you have in the top staff are the people who give orders, make decisions, send each other out for coffee and croissants and keep likker bottles in their large desk drawer.
Your concern in this issue is about people at the top issuing orders with no regulatory force of law behind them. Jail the bureaucrats at the top.
And yes, the greater part of the federal workforce is made up of postal employees and enlisted personnel. All those other pukes don't know sheiss!
