Max Bacchus (sp?) has given his remarks. Orren Hatch is just finishing his now. All the usual phrases are being used, “make sure this never happens again”, etc.

[cripplecreek]

Bachus says this has caused the people to lose trust in the IRS. LOL

I lost my trust in the IRS about the first time I got a paycheck.

The IRS harassment EXTENDED over TWO election cycles.

Where is the accountability?

[jiggyboy]

Miller has GOT to be kidding! He’s pulling out the old “haven’t had time to prepare” line again! Is he just going to repeat word for word his evasions from LAST WEEK?

[Diogenesis]

Miller regards this as “poor service”.

[RedMDer]

Since when does the witness set the agenda?

Miller says that due time considerations a statement is in writing. Did I hear that right?

[kabar]

What a joke. Baccus stumbling around and affecting mock outrage, yet he was one of the signers of a letter to IRS to look into the Tea Party groups’ tax status. The fact that he is the person running the hearings should be the real outrage.

[billys kid]

Were they sworn in?

Can this thread be posted under Breaking News so others will know about this hearing.

Thanks

Amendment XIV.4: The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

If a current government is indebting Americans in rebellion against our constitution form of government, I read to above the Constitutional clause to say the people are NOT in anyway obligated to make good those debts.

Federal Reserve take note!

The US income tax is voluntary.

Really.

I’m super serial!

I was on vacation, that’s all.

Voluntary. I’m not kidding. They even said so last week in a hearing.

Voluntary!

Signed,

Curious to see how one of these hearings goes when run by lefties.

NO ONE is talking about criminal charges. The republicans are not trying to get to the truth. I know they will not get the truth, but they could let them know that people WILL go to jail. My opinion why nothing will happen to anyone; the rinos also sent the IRS after teaparty and religious groups to help romney. This hearing is a joke. Elitists win again. We are held by a higher standard than those who govern us. If nothing comes of this and other CRIMES by this administration a third party will grow. I'm not voting republican if they can't do their job and bring people to justice.

[patriotsoul]

I was hoping either the House or Senate would mention and/or question the criteria established by Homeland Security the disposition of TEA partiers fitting the example of domestic terrorists. Given that thought, it would behoove the Exempt office to closely discern these applications to make sure they were not domestic terrorists, thus entitling them to ask extensively about donors, etc. It is not so much just a bunch of losers in the IRS intimidating citizens, but more the systemic establishment of conservatives are dangerous for America.
