I read the headline story on FoxNews that said the GOP want to “REFORM” the IRS....nope, just get rid of it. We know what happens when these clowns *reform* things.

Paraphrasing Sen Bob Corker (R-Tenn): "This is a wakeup call for all of those who see the way large, uncontrolled govt can coerce innocent people ..... now, as we move toward immigration reform, we need to be aware … of judgments that take place within govt organizations." (more below)

It better be “felt”...

Rebellion is brewing...

Social Security Administration ALSO has the power to approve or deny claims. Investigate THEM too. No doubt they’ve screwed registered Republicans for years. But welfare checks for illegal aliens? NO PROBLEM!

[I want the USA back]

Yes. Stop treating us like your slaves and maybe we’ll respect government agencies again.

So Jim, does this mean that Corker is going to quit trying to be “Marxist Lite?”
Or is he just grandstanding for “the folks?” I guess only time will tell, but we have no time! I won’t believe anything has changed until the impeachment starts.
Keep up your good work, The nation is a whole lot better off for the existence of FR!

Question; What other federal programs are out of control boguarding americans?..

ALL OF THEM!!!!!.......

[Steely Tom]

If our side had the fighting spirit of the Democrat/Communists, they would be able to use the revelations of the last 10 days to flip the Senate to our side next year. And to increase our House margin by an additional 40 seats.

Wishful thinking, I know.

He said the scandal will become even more relevant as Obamacare is implemented

so why didn't he say "if"?

[hecticskeptic]

For many of us, we are already seeing similar behaviour in other departments. Many in the company I work for do cross-border work (Canada and the US) and as such, have made application for what are referred to as NEXUS cards.. for lack of a better explanation, this is frequent traveller card that somewhat pre-clears you to travel freely across the border without getting tied up in the usual Customs and Excise rigmarole. I can’t tell you how many people have had NEXUS refusals for absolutely no justification at all….. I think it basically comes down to those with the power exercising that power to decide who gets it and who doesn’t. Who knows what information they have looked at to make that decision… and by this, I’m referring to information that is totally unrelated to security issues? If others here have had a similar experience, I would like to hear about it.

Sen. Corker: IRS Mess Will Affect Other Federal Agencies and Programs

Good, I hope they all fail. Nothing but a bunch of worthless sorry assed government lackeys anyway.

[cookcounty]

Unless we abolish taxation (to dream the impossible dream), there will always be an IRS. Or something like it. Somebody has to collect the taxes and somebody has to check to see if I’m a tax cheat. But it should be a much smaller organization with smaller powers and a LOT more transparency. And the tax code should be vastly simplified (3 pages, maximum).

[Mr. Jeeves]

It has provided us the opportunity we need.

From now on, any time any liberal or moderate advocates any form of government expansion in the name of sentimentalism, we answer, "Oh, more government power - just like the IRS."
