Exactly. Liberal “logic” begins and ends with looking for hypocrisy, or just inventing it.
I want you all to consider a few things. The tax code is some of the most convoluted and complicated codes the government has ever created. That is not an accident.
Tax missteps, miscalucations, and simply ignorance in some instances makes just about all of us tax criminals at some point in time.
“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We *want* them broken. You’d better get it straight That it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against then you’ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. 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. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass 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. Rearden, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

Obvious.... but Amazing!
Amazing—the millions who, for whatever reason, support and worship obama.
Amazing—the millions who, for whatever reason, support and worship beck.
Strange planet.
I like Beck and trust him too.
Nor does Beck have the power — as the tax cheats in high government positions do — to forcibly extract money from anyone.
I like him too—but trvst him?
Get real!
Still, the enemy (maybe) of my enemy is (maybe) my friend...maybe!

Semper Watching!
