EVERYONE who has EVER filed a "return" should fear such an event.

In answer to a question from one of the Capitol Hill morons who keep us yoked (falsely) under a tax system better suited to the old Soviet Union concerning the incredible complexity these same morons have created, I believe it was IRS Commissar Roscoe Egger who declare that "There has never been filed a tax return with which we (the IRS) can't find SOME PROBLEM."

Is THAT a comforting thought or what??

I believe even the old Soviet Union now has a flat tax (which I DO NOT advocate) and may be investigating a national sales tax (which I do support) as easier to administer.

And why should we fear a tax system NO ONE -- not even the IRS and the bean-counters -- understands?

"... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any
government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one MAKES them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
......just pass the the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted -- and you create a nation of law-breakers -- and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

That is one POWERFUL quote Mr. Bachert and a perfect description of "the game" we lovers of liberty must end if our children and grandchildren are to know ANYTHING of the FREEDOM that was intended for them.
