Thou speakest a heap of wisdom there, my Freeper friend. A tip o’ my hat to you.
How is it that the same country that produces so many heroes, as we see in Afghanistan and Iraq, can also produce an army of thugs and bullies for the IRS?
The good ones just want to get the hell out of Britain. Afghanistan is one way to do it. ;^)
They’re working on removing that.
If the Brits don’t resist this act of home invasion then it is truly over for them.
Poor besieged Brits slowly circling the drain. Dear John Bull, repeat after me “IT’S NOT YOUR BLOODY MONEY!”
They wear a suit and necktie, but they’re no different from nazi SS.
England is finished.
Next will come debtor’s prison if you cannot pay your taxes at the doorstep. Unless you’re Muslim, and then you get special dispensation.
I thought “Tax man” was written by George Harrison??
oh go away....
Why do you think they confisgated all guns over the last few years in the U.K.
So the revenuers would last a fews years in the job.
The end of England.
“if something like this were even to be seriously suggested in the USA, cities would burn. “
It’s already happening in SC. When you apply for a business license in some citiies, there’s a clause where you agree to open your books to a search by any city employee anytime they demand to see your business records. In other words, you sign away your 4th and 5th amendment rights to run a business.
Imagine the uproar if a city demanded to search all black people or all vehicles entering a city. Civil rights attorneys would parachute from the skies in battalion force.
Do you suppose they’ll make “lightening” raids on houses with NRA stickers on the front window?
Years ago, my mother, OldTax-lady, applied for a “Revenue Officer” job with the IRS. Revenue officers are the ones who go after the revenue, as opposed to “revenue agents,” who review tax returns.
When they asked her about her firearms experience, and whether she’d be willing to work in the Dakotas, she decided this wasn’t her sort of work!
I was referring to the U.S. Their IRS is called...what?
I was referring to the U.S. Their IRS is called...what?
The United States has “Internal Revenue.” Britain has “Inland Revenue.”
I guess you missed the part in the article that says this is about the UK, not the US.
Eventually the Government will take so much in terms of money and freedom from our British Friends that more and more people will begin to ask: "At one point does the definition of 'slave' begin to apply?"
No worries....such a state of affairs is simply impermissible and the taxman will eventually find a way to get it all...it only takes a little time.
Taxman won't go to the dangerous neighborhoods
From the article:
"They must make sure that it is not some bully boy tax inspector turning up alone on people's doorsteps."
Translation: "They'll need to go under armed escort, which should be no problem."
