What could go wrong?
Anyone who steals 32 k needs to be shot.
The GOP seems content with just about everything.
When we moved to KY, my wife got some sort of tax exempt card because we thought we might be doing some buying and selling of antiques. Nothing came of it so we just forgot about it.
Then in February of the next year our house payment bounced because they had stripped our KY bank account. Fortunately they could not touch our main account in Seattle.
Turns out that we were supposed to file a statement on usage of the card and since we didn’t, they just imputed something like $1,800 in probable taxes owed by us. The funny thing is that after a lot of back and forth mail and phone converstions it still ended up costing us $400 in the end.
This experience and our FedGov’s hostility to small business is why I will never start a “legitimate” business. I refuse to go to bed with the government. They are your primary antagonist, even more than landlords and competition.
I see them quite LITERALLY as the mob to which you pay as much “protection money” as they think they can get away with charging.
In several very real ways, I’ve gone Galt. And they increase every year.
The standard to right a wrong should not be for the IRS to give back the money it stole, but to award triple damages to the citizen wronged by the IRS.
Stuff like this is why someone should publish the home addresses of everyone who works for the IRS (and photo, too, if possible), from the highest official down to the capos and then down to the lowest level enforcers.
Marxists think that all the assets of all businesses should be in the hands of the collectivity. They’re just taking what they think is theirs already.
“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
Are the evils no longer sufferable?
