I have decidedly mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I am appalled at one of the last bastions of privacy being destroyed by our Socialist state. On the other, as a tax payer who recognizes that YES there are legitimate functions of government that need to be funded, I have zero sympathy for tax cheats.
It’s terrible. If you support the heavy-handed tactics of the US gov. in this matter, you are basically saying that you don’t give a crap about national sovereignty. That swords cuts two ways.
damnable Whiggery?
[ I have zero sympathy for tax cheats. ]
I have zero sympathy for people who trespass on property, but that doesn’t stop Obama from wanting to forgive their crimes, so why can’t we get amnesty for tax evasion too while we are at it.
Then you must really hate the IRS and the SS admin and all those who run them - hopefully even more than those who try to shelter themselves from an out-of-control tax system which considers it everyone's duty to submit whatever bureaucrats consider "their fair share of everyone else's money".
I have some liberal acquaintances and one told me he had no problem paying his fair share of the taxes - then I found out he and his wife were cheating like hell by making improvements and such to their main dwelling and writing it off as costs against a rental they owned and other such tricks. I find that those who make the claim about moral superiority vis-a-vis taxes, are either not educated, or cheats and liars themselves. Hope it doesn't include you but my RADAR always goes up when someone on a conservative website espouses the Left's sacred motets.
