The Byzantine Eunuchs, Pontius Pilate or the Chinese Mandarins had nothing on these modern American bureaucrats.

“You can call them something other than the IRS if that made you feel better,”

We can call them the individual states.

I remember from history something about a big new ship they said could not be sunk.

Congress can abolish you. Cutting it down to size, disarming it and changing tax policy would help a lot though.

That sounds like a challenge. Too bad the GOP won’t accept.

OSHA decided to put in some new safety requirements that everyone else said they were too restrictive an expensive so Congress asked them not to do it. They did it anyway and Congress defined them. Those new rules have never been enacted.

The Congress most certainly can abolish the IRS and all its regulations at any time and can create a new agency to college taxes. And the Commissioner will not be part of the new agency nor will any of the tens of thousands of crooks currently in the IRS.

That arrogant POS thinks we the people are no longer in charge.

Even Mussolini figured that out!

You don’t need 36,000 IRS enforcers of 0bamacare.

And that’s just for starters.

IRS agents also don’t need to be armed.

I can’t wait to see the face on this arrogant government drone when he is out of a job. I want to see President Cruz wipe the smirk off his face.

I so wish that would be met with an “Oh yeah!?”
...sadly the congress seems to have absolutely zero interest in restraining executive agencies.

“You can call them something other than the IRS if that made you feel better,”

I've got lots of things I could call them.

Take money from some and give it to others. That’s the IRS’s job..... lots of Americans support that concept. ... especially if they get someone else’s money.

That concept as we practice it now is what is flawed. IMHO

When this worthless agency chief tells the media today that 60% of the calls to the IRS won’t be answered this year, he is obviously lying about how necessary it is. They are not doing their job, but are busy harassing TEA Party people across the fruited plain. Shut it down. The American people can pay their flat tax online as they do their credit card bills. If the government is too inept, let Visa and Mastercard collect the taxes. Firing thousands of IRS flunkies will save billions.

We could abolish them. As they are now.

We could also fire them and not rehire them in whatever much, much smaller revenue office is created to manage flat tax filers.

We could make it so they never worked as a bureaucrat ever again.

We could make it so we could fire any of them that abused their power, used their power to help politicians, and subvert investigations into their office’s wrongdoings.

I would really like to have this arrogant little turd repeat this to me and my buddies rather than our congress fools, I really would.

I think we could accomplish a lot more in changing his attitude and it wouldn't take us all that long :)

Ok. I’ll play. So we don’t abolish the IRS. I would settle for “gutting” the IRS.

Looking forward to the day that IRS agents are given a choice- Stand a post on the southern border or find another job.
