IRS is monitoring comment threads on conservative blogs

The Internal Revenue Service, which claims to be so understaffed that it can’t bother to collect unpaid taxes, or search backup tapes for Lois Lerner’s “missing” emails, apparently has plenty of time to read the comment threads on conservative blogs that have been critical of the agency (Hi there, IRS agents!). William Jacobson, one of the best-informed and most effective critics of the agency, writes on Legal Insurrection:

Hey, remember the Reader Poll we did about whether it was okay to follow and try to interview Lois Lerner in her neighborhood?

Do you approve of media confronting Lois Lerner in her neighborhood? (Reader Poll): (snip)

Just another Legal Insurrection fun time, right?

Of course you will have to pay your taxes come April 15th but you will be keeping the interest earned on that money from having it in an account of your own. It requires discipline but it works!

By doing this, you will pay an additional penalty for under-withholding, which will far surpass the pittance you earned in interest during the year.

If that isn't the actions of a police state, I don't know what is.

This why we need a MASSIVE overhaul of national taxation and in the long run, throw out the income tax and replace it with something like FairTax. Anyone who've seen my eight-point list on why the income tax is a terrible idea knows why it is a good idea long overdue.

I got nailed by the under-withholding in 2009. When Obama gave us that “tax cut,” all it did was reduce the amount withheld from my paychecks. However, the IRS didn’t change the tax tables, so I ended up being penalized for under-withholding. LOL.

Thanks so much for posting this article, PROCON!!! I found it totally hilarious.

And yet, I also found the irony involved positively chilling....

I overpaid for the last 20 years. I’m sure they will find that.

Who's to say they don't do this already? All they have to do is go on TV and denounce someone as a terrorist, a child molester, or a cop killer and then the public will applaud as the person gets hunted down and murdered on live TV. I'm not saying this has happened, but it wouldn't surprise me if it has.

You forgot an isolated incident for a no knock raid accidentally getting the wrong address

There's Andrew Breitbart, Tom Clancy, and Michael Hastings that jump out as oddly timed (and questionable, circumstance-wise) deaths.

My guess is ALL blogs where serfs comment (we are citizens treated as serfs) are being monitored by the “public servants” and corporations just as everything else that we do.

I’ve even heard some say they don’t care because they are not doing anything wrong. They will.

Suckerberg infers that privacy and firearms are not for the little people, just as Leona Helmsley said taxes are for the little people. Elites have their divorces cases sealed as well as their addresses, license numbers etc..

Middle / working class multi-gen American citizens have no problem telling government leaders what they think. They have a long culture of speaking out. These new immigrants from Mexico and beyond have grown up with out any similar concept in their culture or psyche. They are accustomed to being unarmed serfs. The liberal elites etc that have hijacked our country prefer we have “citizens like that”.

Yes most of these immigrants come from Socialist or Communist controlled countries in Central and South America so they are used to keeping their mouths shut and taking orders from the govt.
