The income tax is a relic of the 19th century ~ based on a 17th and 18th century understanding of income. You remember the books ~ so and so was worth 15 pounds a year, and someone else was worth 6 bob!

Those were references to people ~ young people ~ with fixed incomes derived from family trusts, or farm land rented to tenants.

It was a way of thinking about people that eventually passed into obscurity known only from boring English literature, and from folks who think the income tax can actually be used to 'transfer wealth' ~

Horsecrap. I watched the hearings again on CSPAN...and one of the reps. pointed out that the IRS budget was increased SUBSTANTIALLY in 2010, coinciding with the start of this abuse by the IRS. It was a nice smackdown.

Of course they need more $$$. Otherwise, they'd have to make their Star Trek videos using costumes like these.

Cutting their budget??? They need to defund the entire agency RFN. ANY agency that abuses it’s power like that, and especially for political purposes, needs to be immediately defunded, destroyed, all employees fired and it’s functions eliminated completely to prevent such abuse again!
