Trump tonight said he (Trump) was audited for being a Christian. CNN post debate.
This chilled me to the bone. Bad stuff for sure, and it marked my most sympathetic moment for Ben Carson to date.
This came out at the time.
As conservatives under Obama’s reign, it is a given that if you criticize, you’ll likely be audited.
I’ve been audited after speaking out publicly about Obama and several others in my area were audited also around the same time.
If the GOP wants to know why people are angry with them—they could start with issues like that! Which Republican representative even tried to rein in the IRS?
Heck they couldn’t even punish the people who needed to be punished for documented crimes against citizens.
Ben says the IRS should be abolished...
And Lerner and Koskinen still walk free.
“Conservatives” siding with the IRS:
Mitt Romney
Dana PeRino
Ted Cruz
Marco Rubio
Charles Krauthammer
Brit Hume
S.E. Cupp
Editorial Staff of WSJ
Editorial Staff of National Review
Definition of slimey, two-faced hypocrisy:
See list above.....
Libs may question the actions of Nixon, Reagan, et. al., but no one other than libs have dropped nuclear weapons, imprisoned U.S. citizens guilty only of being “the wrong race at the wrong time,” used the IRS as a weapon, started a world war, etc. Do libs ever look in the mirror or is the image too difficult?
The IRS broke the law. If they come up empty handed in one year. They cannot audit again for 3 years. You know, so they cannot persecute someone for political purposes.
Carson’s tax advisors should have stopped the IRS in its tracks on the second year.
In 2010 after voicing my opposition to president Obama and donating to the tea party, I got audit by the IRS for 2008, then expanded to 2009 and 2010. What a night mare. After 6 years it is finally resolved. 6 years living in a nightmare. And I am not even rich.
Is anyone surprised by this? Dr. Carson, that’s what our dictator wannabe does.
I guess he found out who the real “brown shirts” were.
“Dr. Ben Carson: After I Spoke Out Against Obamacare — I Was Audited”
Where there’s smoke there’s fire.
Well, at least according to the Cruz supporters.
Book ‘em Danno
Carson just got flagged for another audit. The IRS does not care what the people think about them. They are without shame, corrupt and above the law. They are the financial hit squad of the administration.
The Income Tax is the problem. It allows a partisan government to spy on & intimidate opponents. We could completely replace the IRS with a different agency with new employees & in 6 months the spying & intimidation would begin again.
A sales tax is anonymous. It doesn’t allow the all powerful government to bully individuals as the current system does now. It abolishes the grossly unbalanced relationship between the individual & the government. It takes the government out of your finances & personal, private info. Best of all, abolishing the income tax ends the awarding/denying of special tax status to so-called non-profit groups.
