Americans have allowed the IRS to become what it is; a giant monster that can and will take whatever it wants FROM YOU and anyone else it deems to have not done exactly what they think you should have done. If you do not follow the ever-changing, thousands of pages long tax code, which is impossible (Hi Timmy Geithner!!!), they can take what you own, threaten you with prison and sometimes make that happen, and generally make your life hell.

And Americans have let that happen. As long as it doesn't happen to you it's okee dokee, right?

At what point will freedom loving Americans stand up to this legitimized Godfather and remove their power to intimidate, steal from, threaten and bankrupt people?

We fought the King of England for less egregious offenses. And won, I might add.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

We have failed the Founding Fathers in countless ways. And we continue to slowly boil, while shaking our tiny fists at the beast.

"Slowly"? It happened fast and now it's too late. I read a lot of biographies and am constantly amazed at how free we were as recently as the 70s and 80s. And OMG, pre-WWII was anarchy! We blew it.
