QUOTE OF THE DAY :

“The IRS simply cannot sustain itself with this overall funding level.”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If we defund it completely we will then have nothing to fear.

[DManA]

Another reason to can the income tax. There are much more economic ways to collect revenue. The income tax is a relict of the early 20th century.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I can think of worse things that stopping the IRS from carrying out its job as the thuggish enforcer of an ever-expanding, unsustainable Welfare State.

[BitWielder1]

... ballpark figure on how much extra we’d need to pay the agency...

My ballpark figure is nothing less then 100% tax rate will ever be sufficient for these people.
You can never fix what's broken by adding more of the same.

[bmwcyle]

Choke it off completely.

[gaijin]

Ah, the audits were cuz we failed to pay to training them against it, okaaaay....

Ya know I’ve never been trained to NOT shoot bureaucrats in the head, yet, lo and behold, I DIDN’T DO IT.

What are the odds, right..?

Yet WERE I to do so, would statements like, “Hey, ya failed to train me NOT to” provide me a defense...?

[RetiredArmy]

Flat Tax.

[gaijin]

$50 million for meetings, money for spoof videos, but if we fail to BOOST funding then we are, “ASKING FOR IT”...?

That’s a really amazing statement.

Imagine:

You come home to discover your sobbing daughter has been raped —by me. I’ve got my pants down, peering at you.

“You failed to train me to NOT do that —see how you’re responsible...?”

You are dumb-founded as you begin rifling through your nearby dresser drawer for your .44 mag:

“If you don’t PAY ME, I’ve got to warn you that next time it could BE REALLY BAD....”

Can you BELIEVE these people..?

“The IRS simply cannot sustain itself with this overall funding level.”

As if that is a bad thing!

Jose Serrano -

Serrano, a Democrat from New York, represents a district that is one of the smallest in the country geographically, consisting of a few miles of the heavily urbanized and populated South Bronx in New York City. His district is also one of the most densely populated and one of the few majority Hispanic districts in the country.

In the aftermath of the death of Hugo Chávez, Congressman Serrano wrote condolences to Chavez via Twitter describing him as a leader who, “understood the needs of the poor. He was committed to empowering the powerless. R.I.P. Mr. President.”

IRS scandal: IG report reveals $50 million spent on employee conferences

http://www.wjla.com/articles/2013/06/irs-scandal-ig-report-reveals-50-million-spent-on-employee-conferences-89588.html

some of the 2,600 attendees received benefits, including baseball tickets and stays in presidential suites that normally cost $1,500 to $3,500 per night. In addition, 15 outside speakers were paid a total of $135,000 in fees, with one paid $17,000 to talk about “leadership through art,” the committee said.

So they must be bribed in order to not be corrupt? They need special training in order to not be corrupt? Wow.

[boxlunch]

Rule of law. Put them in prison.

Then dismantle the IRS.

We’ve got to get back to actually PUNISHING people who commit crimes!

[KarlInOhio]

If we don't pay them to audit Republicans, they'll just have to revert to the far cheaper method of torture to extract confessions.

[I want the USA back]

There is no hope for the dems.

[buffyt]

B.S.!

[Cheerio]

KILL THE IRS.

[SueRae]

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.

[rfp1234]

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

[4buttons]

a smaller IRS would make a for a smaller kleptocracy

[BCR #226]

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!

[publius911]

Is that supposed to be an offer the honest net-income-taxpaying American worker can't refuse?
