They need to be smeared constantly. Anyone whose salary comes from the Fed should be ashamed to admit it in public. Their kids should have to lie at school when asked what their parents do. We need a word for federal employees, something like PIG was used for police officers in the past. I mean it. They should be ostracised by the tax payer 24/7.

Why do any of these agencies carry guns. The FBI and US Marshals were established for the purpose of enforcing federal laws. Now you have all of these clowns and Elliot Ness wannabees kicking down doors and shooting people.

The government does not have a need or a right to know all the information on my tax return. It is none of their business what I do for a living or how many dependents I have or how much money I make.

This is a good point and an important point. Freedom requires, requires, a certain amount of financial privacy. In some countries, perhaps someday our own, your personal security requires it too.

A tax system which doesn't require a deep knowledge of your personal assets won't satisfy the regulator but is necessary if your purpose is a free country. Hence the need for some kind of flat tax, or VAT tax, or banking services tax. The need is for a tax that is a simple calculation, that doesn't look at the source or destination of the money.
