Here is a perfect example of government psychological scare tactics, and bully for the Sheriff and property owner for not only recognizing that, but for telling the thugs to take a hike... If the property owner is found to owe in court, then so be it... To give up rights because some desk surfing pen pusher ordered such an operation is worse than getting shot...

The thing to think on is there may well be time coming when we need to decide if we are going to let this man stand alone?

Mack: Shame what this town's come to.
Charley Waite: You could do something about it.
Mack: What? We're freighters. Ralph here's a shopkeeper.
Charley Waite: You're men, ain't you?
Mack: I didn't raise my boys just to see 'em killed.
Charley Waite: Well you may not know this, but there's things that gnaw at a man worse than dying.

sed from the Fed. bureaucracy & lose all bennies thru court
action..the same courts these scum sought to denies others.

The whole idea that the government can seize property and earnings through what are thug tactics is an atrocity. The IRS should be where the onus is placed on not the citizen. They should be required to provide clear proof of money owed and the citizen should not have to prove their innocence. We haven’t lived in a Real America for a long time. This kind of thing goes on all the time.

The Gestapo, KGB, IRS, are all alike, and all a consequence of government being bigger and more powerful than should be allowed. Big government is nothing without the power to intimidate and abuse citizens.

County Sheriff Scott London for president.

[yoe]

Sheriff Scott London joins with other Sherriffs like Sheriff Joe Arpiro and Sheriff Paul Babeu, all uphold the law as written no matter what. We need these men, a rare breed of American who believe in and follow the dictates of our U.S. Constitution in the face of this lawless administration.

Considering the references supporting some form of federal sales tax, I gotta say: WTH? Y’all are cheesed off by the IRS playing “enforcer” over income taxes, and you want to replace it with something even MORE INVASIVE? Remember: the Income Tax as we know it started with a very short & simple form, and mutated into the monstrosity we have now. What makes you think that promises to not do X won’t mutate into doing exactly X and a whole lot worse?

Proposed theory: you buy a case of Pepsi, and your checkout bill has a 10% tax applied, paid by the retailer. Your prebate will be deposited in your bank account January 1.

Likely reality: you buy a case of Pepsi, swipe your debit card, your name/SSN is extracted, your purchase category (”Junk Food: Sugar”) is run against your Obamacare medical history (”high chance of inherited diabetes”), the Michelle Obama Healthy Food Surcharge of 25% is applied, the DHS PerpFinder Program performs an instant background check (you tell me how that turns out, how the store guard will react when notified that a CCW-licensed individual is at Checkout Lane #5, and what a product cross-reference with recent purchases could turn up for potential contraband production), and another datapoint is added to your dossier of behavior & travel. Your prebate is reduced by the amount fitting your likely increased medical costs, prepaying expected insulin & treatment costs, and prorating your expected unemployment for health reasons.
Don’t think it won’t happen. We have the technology for it RIGHT NOW, just not the compulsion to apply it.

[JimRed]

That’s why the Fair Tax or a similar system is dead on arrival. It removes power (and employment) from too many thug wannabees.

Sheriff Stands Up to IRS

I CAN ONLY PRAY WE ARE GOING TO SEE MORE OF THIS RESISTENCE DURING THE NEXT TWO YEARS OF OBIE'S PLANNED DESTRUCTION.

[PoloSec]

Whenever I read these stories, the first thing that comes to mind is “What About Al Sharpton”, why is he not terrorized by this progressive liberal democrat communist agency...Oh because Sharpton is a progressive liberal democrat communist; they do not prosecute one of their own.

[PapaNew]

It’s time for the states to stand up to unconstitutional federal acts. NOW!

[DoodleDawg]

“The IRS is a lie. The income tax is a lie,” said Carter.

If that's the sum total of his legal argument then it's going to be a short appeal.

[ponygirl]

And let me guess...this citizen’s land has some water access or mineral rights that Fed.gov wants.

[Luigi Vasellini]

[wastoute]

Dang! Makes me proud to say I grew up there. Carlsbad Senior High. ‘71.

[sport]

And yet Sharpton, owing millions, goes about his merry way. Sowing lies and misery far and wide Along with ruining decent people’s lives.
