Elizabeth Warren thinks the IRS should fill out your tax returns

With Monday’s tax filing deadline looming over many Americans’ weekends, Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s new bill may seem like a godsend.

The Massachusetts Democrat introduced legislation Wednesday that would allow U.S. taxpayers to have the government do their taxes for them—for free.

The conveniently timed “Tax Simplification Act of 2016” would direct the IRS to develop a free, online tax preparation and filing service, using tax information the IRS already has, which Americans could choose to use to have their taxes filed directly with the government, instead of using a third-party service, such as TurboTax.

Obviously, she has not heard many tax accountants say that when you call the IRS, you get a different answer to the same question every time you call.

Yup. I trust them with my money...

we appear to have lost our country
(at least, we’ve lost our liberties...slice by slice...and our liberties were what made America special, exceptional in the modern parlance......)
we ain’t exceptional anymore, the socialist leftist progressivist IslamoNazi communists are correct! we lost (or rather, the leftists stole) our liberties that made us an expectional nation

Elizabeth Warren should be in federal prison with the rest of the gang of 535.

7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands to give them an interest against their constituents..

8. (4) A great debt will require great taxes; great taxes, many taxgatherers and other officers; and all officers are auxiliaries of power.

http://www.constitution.org/cmt/freneau/republic2monarchy.htm

For if one supreme legislative body, in which the whole continent of America have not a single voice, have power to make laws which shall be binding upon us in all cases whatsoever, rights, liberties, legislative powers, under such absolute suspending, dispensing, establishing annihilating power as this, are meer shadows, Jack o’lanterns serving only to mislead and engulph us.

There can be no doubt but it is fit, and perfectly consistent with the principle of all laws human and divine, to resist robbers, murderers and subverters of the government of free states, whether these crimes are committed by individuals or nations, or more properly a despotism endeavouring to establish itself over the most free and happy nation on the globe. The only question is, whether it be prudent to risque resistance.

I don’t think the average IRS bureaucrat who would oversee your returns is aware of many of them.


A few years ago, I had a complicated tax question that local accountants and lawyers couldn’t answer. (Stepson left some insurance money to his Nicaraguan maid in Costa Rica. Insurance company took its sweet time paying off—so much time that the gift earned interest, but the company couldn’t pay the claim unless the beneficiary had a SSN, which of course the maid didn’t.)

So I went to the local IRS office where the the local agent had deer-the-headlights look when I explained the problem. He suggested I call the IRS 800 number and ask for an international tax expert. After being on hold for the better part of an hour a very nice lady, who claimed to be the int’l tax expert said she had never heard of such a thing and basically said she was sorry but she couldn’t help me. She did point me to some PDFs about applying for a taxpayer ID number.

What made it all the more frustrating was the amount of interest was too small to pay tax on in any case but high enough to,require the number to get the check. After months where the maid had to make two trips to the US embassy in Costa Rica we finally were able to get the poor woman her money.

I don’t want these people figuring my taxes for me.

“What’s wrong with it being a choice? I’d still have the opportunity to correct errors.”

But like the VA and SSA, having the IRS do your taxes for you would automatically cause your 2A rights to be forefeited. Look forward to the cops stopping by for you firearms.

Makes it far easier for them to audit Tea Party members and shut down conservative organizations.

Warren is a leftist ahole who pretended to be an American Indian to promote her career.

Wait, wait, wait. The SAME people who were found to be (illegally) going after conservative 501C/etc., sends $BILLIONS+ of FAKE returns, ABETS the fake returns, etc. is going to do *our* taxes...for ‘free’??

They can’t even clean house (Lerner is still walking around, right? As well as Gollum?), but we’re to trust the govt to do right?

That’s some balls right there.

Why not have all employers send all wages directly to the IRS.

Then the IRS can have its specialists program the computers to disperse the money equitably.
