Fair Tax ping!
A few years back, I read a story of a man who fought for years to halt the IRS’s actions against him. They froze his bank account, garnished his wages, put his possessions up for sale....the whole works. The IRS alleged he owed over 200k in back taxes, penalties and such.
The story went on to say, the man became so oppressed and helpless....barely any resources to continue the fight to clear his name....he committed suicide.
A few months later...the IRS admitted, his tax and penalty burden amounted to just over 20k rather than 200k.
Talk about sad. Of coarse, he should not have killed himself, but there are people out there that cannot psychologically hold up to such pressures.
Why on earth would anyone hold fast to a tax code that enables such heavy handed tactics toward it’s own citizens is beyond me.
Hell, instead of fighting to change the system, Lets fight to change this madness and work toward honing the system as we move forward.
Anything is better than what we have in the present tax code.
