Why this country is not standing outside every IRS building in this country with pitchforks and flaming torches is beside me.

Those things only happen if the majority of the population is aware. Since the mainstream media is clearly ignoring it, there is no awareness. Now excuse me while I check my Facebook page on my iPhone to see if my friend got his new Xbox.

“Why this country is not standing outside every IRS building in this country with pitchforks and flaming torches is beside me.”

When I was in grade school, teachers would assign busy work so they would not have to teach and we would not have to learn but it was demanded that it be done because it kept the students out of trouble.

the govt. demands so much busy work (aka red tape) nowdays that no one has time to protest anything.

There is nothing citizens can do to the IRS peacefully that will change them one bit. They are America’s extra constitutional secret police. There are two avenues available to us to eliminate the IRS. One is the Article V CoS the other of course is Congress. I am a great believer in a national retail sales tax. Set constitutionally at say 10%. The income tax amendment would be repealed and income and property tax outlawed. Additionally, we must strip the ability of congress to write tax law. That is, they cannot change the constitutionally mandated sales tax rate or establish any other taxes. You and I know the above is pie in the sky so the easiest way to essentially get rid of the IRS is to go to a flat income tax of say 10%. Then eliminate the IRS. They would no longer be needed as currently constituted.

Because they are locations unlisted in any directory. They also move every three to five years to other leased locations within private office buildings. No signs. No listing in the lobbies. The only locations disclosed are the big processing centers. The little local hives are hidden.

It is because close to half of the voters in this country do NOT pay taxes, so why should they care.

It’s because we feel we are “doing” something by venting on the internet and are perpetually waiting for the “other” guy to make the first move.

Nearly 50% of the people in this country are receiving a check from the federal government. As long as the IRS is collecting money from the other 50% they are content. As to the 50% who are still productive, most are busy just trying to survive.

This goes to show the concept of freedom our founders tried to protect is gone. Half of the country is enslaved, dependent on government for food, clothing, and shelter. The other 50% is having nearly half of the earnings produced from their labor taxed away to support the other 50%. There are very few citizens free from the chains of government today.

Actually we should padlock the doors and gates on the son-of-a bitches and dare them to try and come out!

Let the treasonous bastards starve to death for all I care.
