Two top senators Thursday demanded that the Obama administration explain why the Internal Revenue Service is using technology to secretly track cellphones that is normally the domain of law-enforcement agencies.
The move by Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont followed IRS Commissioner John Koskinen's admission to the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday that the agency uses the technology.

If anybody thinks Ted Cruz’s idea of abolishing the IRS is a little far fetched....uh....it’s actually the only fix for their current TYRANNY!
(sure glad they can’t track me here on FR......)

The IRS is trying to recruit Muslims to slit the throats of those who attempt to resist them.

Smoke meet mirrors. The Congress determines IRS budgets and policies. It’s a puppet show for our consumption.

Once again, government surveillance of all kinds remains the ignored issue by candidates, media and debate moderators.
Cruz, Trump, Hillary, Sanders, all of them. Virtually silent.
None dare defend the Bill of Rights and make this a campaign issue.

Nothing will happen.
The IRS are the cash collectors for the Uniparty.

If you were in briefings where you had been told that these methods had saved millions of US citizen lives, would you still feel that way?
If those meetings had also revealed perhaps a cold war situation, or a silent, state based enemy was behind these attacks and that exposure or public knowledge of that situation could bring a collapse in civilization, would you still feel that way?

You certainly trust Government and the Obama administration far, far more than I do.
Please point me to the briefings that demonstrate why it is necessary for Big Government to capture, catalog and analyze all of our social media posts, web searches, emails, texts, and phone calls.
Why it is necessary for them to track our whereabouts, without a warrant, using cell phone location technology. Or, if not that, use secret Stingray devices that intercept everyone's phone calls without a warrant.
To hack computers and computer networks and fight people using encryption.
You sure you really trust the Government that much? Or does someone just need to yell "TERRORISTS!" and you're ready to torch the Bill of Rights?
