‘IMHO, catching tax cheats (rich or otherwise) is NOT a bad thing. Everyone needs to follow the law. They should also go after politicians too.’

This is the type of attitude that we need less of. The idea that they are cheating on their taxes is probably incorrect. The tax code is over 60,000 pages long. If you go to ten different accountants and tax attorneys they will handle your taxes 10 different ways. Every one of which will have numerous errors in reporting and filing.

The class warfare of the Democrats is the major reason for a progressive income tax. The idea that a wealthy person uses an undue amount of societies benefits is on the face ridiculous. Who adds more to society, the captain of industry with 5,000 employees, or a welfare queen with five children from three different convicted felons living in public housing? The Democrats will keep choking the golden goose until it dies or gets smart and moves permanently to Costa Rica.

Why are there any 'loopholes' to begin with?

Because Congressmen were paid to put them there. If they were so crooked as to take the cash and not give back at least as much in tax savings people would stop sending them money.

It’s all covered in the “Do as I say, not as I do” clause.

Oh yeah, silly me I forgot about that.

That really needs to be amended to the Constitution so we have a reminder. ; )

I bet you cheered when they caught runaway slaves, too. After all, they were stealing their labor from us all.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I was doing, when I wasn’t busy clubbing baby seals. You, of course, are as pure as the driven snow.

Caesar seems to like trading in useless debt notes printed out of thin air by the Federal Reserve. Maybe we should, en mass, start bartering using whatever we have to barter.

Reject their system by refusing to participate as much as possible.

That should be worthless rather than useless, I think.

Like professional courtesy? The actual bartering has begun.....make an offer and see what happens.

Of course Reid and Pelosi can't be far behind with a new law or regulation to tax & kill it......

I truly can’t keep up with ObamaHitler.

In one of the bills in the last few days ANOTHER government agency was formed and now the currently incompetent IRS (that’s very own employess gave themselves the housing credit fraudulently) is getting a special unit to go after rich people?

This is a freaking joke....right?

So Obama and all of his mob crony friends, Albert Gore, the Clinton’s all of our government will be stopped right????
Right?????

Or will he protect all that give him campaign donations?

AMERICA WAKE UP!!!!!

Someone PLEASE wake me up from this horrific nightmare I am having, hurry!

Screw them. We need a tax revolt, if everyone would refuse to pay the tax, we could choke them in a week. Then, we could begin taking control of this country back over by the people instead of corrupt politicians.

The solution is tax revolt. They cant jail everyone. Then institute Fair Tax and do away with the communist IRS.

Ask Turbo Tax Timmy Geitner to run the IRS? Ask Charlie Rangel to write the rules? And then ask for respect?
