Thanks for the post, Jim.
One certainly has to wonder just how long it will take the American public to realize that it is past time to replace the income tax with the FairTax and abolish the IRS?
Please go to http://www.fairtax.org to find out how you can help us do that.
We are being monitored (NSA), we are being obstructed (IRS), we are the subjects of a government approved disinformation campaign (Benghazi), we are being manipulated (Fast & Furious), we are being held liable for our beliefs (Hobby Lobby), and we are being punished for having the wrong opinions (IRS....Mozilla).
Can someone explain to me how this is not a tyranny?
Repeal the 16th Amendment. Close down the IRS. Establish a national sales tax to replace ALL OTHER sources of revenue to the federal government.
The savings on the various levels of bureaucracy alone would be tremendous, not to mention the freedoms restored to the citizenry.
I’ve said it many times before and will say it again!
We will never again be a truly FREE people for so long as we continue to abide the Marxist income tax and the IRS!
Eh, we knew that a year ago *cough*
ZERO Liberal Groups Targeted by IRS (vanity)
May 18, 2013 | jiggyboy
- Two left-wing groups were properly denied status.
- One left-wing group with a right-wing name “received inquiries”, which does not necessarily mean that they “received additional scrutiny”, as one article mildly editorializes [9].
- One left-wing group claimed that they were (mis-)treated in the “same” way as many Tea Party groups. Original IRS documents showed that that was not the case, and the group was forced to backtrack from their initial claims.

Woudln't work. There was a thread here a couple of months ago about some teacher's 503 (or whatever) groups that were getting the third degree and they couldn't figure out why. Many on the thread independently suggested that it was simply a matter of the big IRS computer seeing "tea" in their name.
I have a problem with the Fair Tax and that is the rebating of taxes(or prebating). Everyone, including “the poor” should pay the same rate. This should lower the percentage required. It would also eliminate record keeping.
Also, I’d prefer that the law contain a maximum 10% sales tax rate(on everything). The term “revenue neutral” keeps popping up in these discussions. That is code for raising tax rates.
My preference would be that the government gets their 10% and is then forced to budget accordingly. If the revenue isn’t there, tough choices need to be made.
A growing economy will be the only way the government can see increased revenue to the treasury. To go along with this, we need a Balanced Budget Amendment.
“The term “revenue neutral” keeps popping up in these discussions. That is code for raising tax rates.”
Sorry but that is not correct! The fact is that current law requires that any proposed replacement tax be revenue neutral!
I strongly suggest we just slay one dragon at a time!
Liberals lie. That is their primary political tool.
What law is that? Who passed it and when? Just curious.
One wonders how long it will take the people to realize that we must replace the entire federal government with a new one.
Okay, thanks. Not a problem. All that needs to be done is slash spending to match the new revenue targets.
You know Jim, the IRS only has good intentions in protecting the public from abusive tax shelters and with limited resources available, they selected with the best of intentions only those groups that would pose a threat to the public good.
Of course the public good means any group that is for the public good is good and any group against the public (collective) good or for the individual over the public is bad or possibly evil.
And this is a surprise... why?
LOL! That made my day! :)
Is this what you have in mind?
It is what I have in mind, but we can surely start with the income tax and the IRS, and go FRom there!
“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
“. . . And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
