"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton
 
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan
 
"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792
 
"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams
 
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

You kinda wind up feeling sorry for Chris.

At least with his disability there was MSNBC there to make sure he never had to work for a living.

I don't know why they even go there. You simply can't abolish the IRS.

It's how we fund our Army and government, etc etc..

You can get rid of things like Head Start, the EPA, Education Department....and a whole bunch or cr** and give the power back to the states instead of blackmailing them for funding...Obamacare is a good example....

Years, decades ago I recall watching a one of those tv tabloid shows (A Current Affair?) in which they had a segment on two IRS agents who were caught on tape.

What happened was that there was this business owner (cant recall his business. I think it was a pawn shop and/or a gun shop) who had fallen behind in his taxes. So he worked a deal out with the IRS where he could pay little by little until all he owed was paid up. And he thought that matter was taken care of.

Then one day two female IRS agents came into his store. They pulled out a form and asked him to sign it. The form basically said that he agreed to sign over all of his assets to the IRS, something like that. Naturally, he refused to sign it, and the IRS agents left his store.

It was later on in that day (or I think it was the next day) when the feds stormtrooped him in his house and dragged him off to jail. He was stunned to find that the reason why they arrested him, and did so in such a forceful manner was because the two female IRS agents, upon their return to their offices at the IRS, filed a complaint claiming that the store owner had pulled a gun on them, and threatened to shoot them both dead if they didnt leave his store, forcing them to back their way out of the store with their hands raised.

Unfortunately for the two IRS agents, the store owner had security cameras in his store which recorded his real “confrontation” with the IRS agents. It showed the two agents coming into his store, pulling out the form, asking him to sign it, him refusing, them walking out the store, with one of them even saying “bye” to the store owner. The tape showed that the store owner never pulled his gun (he did have a gun on him, under his shirt, but he never showed it, much less pulled it out), that he didnt threaten the IRS agents in any way, and that the two IRS agents had left the store in a normal manner, with their backs to the store owner.

The guys lawyer got a hold of the tape, and once they showed this to the authorities, they let him go (he had spent 24 hours in jail). If I recall correctly, according to the show, the store owner filed a 5 million dollar lawsuit against the IRS. I have no idea what ever became of that suit and no word on what happened to the two IRS agents for perjuring themselves and causing the arrest and imprisonment of an innocent man.

Chris Matthews is a traitor to journalists and the U.S. every time he gets a thrill up his leg when 0bama speaks.

When the IRS was going after Tea Party members they functioned as the thug arm of the democrat party. I’m not surprised Chris Matthews likes that kind of thuggery...

It is amazing...

In the 96' timeframe when Forbes ran on the Flat Tax and was being discussed as almost a given without this verbal assault which can lead you opine as to the state of discourse but I digress.

Two media sources come to mind....

* Money Magazine did an expose / story on how it would work pro or con and that yes it will happen and it will take 18 months for the economy to adjust.
* 2nd was Money Man "Bob Brinker". On his show he talked as if it was a given and again what it would do.

We can't even bring it up today without someone trying to destroy you. This is what Rush was railing about the other day with the Article in "The Federalist"..

The Leninist Chrisy Matthews, I get a thrill up my leg, defending the IRS just proves he is a shill for the Establishment/Globalist.

I pledge allegiance to the tax code...

Take your Thorazine, Chris, there is no such thing as an oath to the IRS.

Well, I've often said Chrissy-boy spends a lot of time waiting in a long line of journ-o-lists for his turn under obama's desk ... I just presumed (wrongly, it seems) that he was shining his shoes ... but perhaps not ...

Normally a person might think that “abolishing the IRS” is not possible, just wishful thinking, silly on the face of it.
And then, one can wonder about all the present occupant has accomplished in six years. The head spins with what he has achieved.

I’ll withhold judgment on what is possible and what is “impossible.”

So you think the current tax collecting apparatus and system are the only ways we can fund our government? REally?

So you think that it’s impossible to be against the EPA and the IRS at the same time?

Clearly you think that. You are oh for two.
