IRS Employee Admits He Would Go After, Target, and Try to End Conservative Groups
Free Beacon ^ | 5/23/16 | Ali Meyer

A self-identified IRS employee admitted he would go after, target and try to end conservative groups who wanted to abolish the IRS, to Cleta Mitchell, an attorney representing those groups, on a Washington Journal segment on C-SPAN.

Mitchell, a political law attorney who has represented conservative groups during the IRS targeting scandal since 2010, was a guest on C-SPAN to discuss the possible impeachment of the IRS commissioner John Koskinen.

The first caller was a self-identified IRS employee who said he would go after the groups Mitchell represents if their goal was to abolish the IRS.

“I am a lowly clerk at the IRS, looking at your application for tax-free status,” said the caller, Bill, from Elizabeth, New Jersey. “I go to your web page to see the goals of your group and one of the goals of your group is to abolish the IRS.”

“You can bet every dollar you got I’m going to go after you and target you and try and end your group and that’s just the way it is,” the caller said.

The Dem Government way to handle this would be to take note of the incoming caller’s telephone ID and even the books later.

At a cocktail party back in the late 80’s, I struck up a conversation with a fellow — his name was Joe M. — whom I’d met on one or two previous events.  After my first encounter, Joe’s neighbor and my boss at the time told me that Joe was an alcoholic who had just retired from 25 years with the IRS.  Needless to say, I was guarded in expressing my political views to Joe as the IRS had hounded my dad into an early grave in 1977 — at age 59 – over an otherwise trivial estate matter.  

Joe was pretty deep into his cups at the function in question and began telling IRS “war stories.”  Most had to do with clear cases of criminal conduct aimed at OTHER citizens by not very nice people.   Joe — who was a few years short of 60 — sounded to me like someone who enjoyed helping getting really Service” had changed for the worse.  Then I asked him about the new people coming in.  He shook his head, actually teared up and said that many of them were “really bad.” I pressed.  “Really bad” meant incompetent?  “No — DANGEROUS,” he responded “they like to hurt people.” 
 
It was then that I think I understood why Joe drank.

Something to think about as the body count among those IRS targeted conservative organizations – not to mention those troublesome individual “Patriots” (now classified by fedzillas as “Terrorists”) — grows.

The IRS is as corrupt as the rest of the government has become. Of course they target individuals and groups. They weaponized the IRS long ago and their hired guns will go after you if you step out of line and they they decide they do not like you.

The IRS runs Obamacare. If you end IRS, you’d end Obamacare and we can’t have THAT!

When will America get that outside its constitutional limited authority, the feds are totalitarian, perverse, homicidal maniacs and the states have every constitutional and legal right to have NONE of it?

Our #1 greatest political problem in America is the $4 TRILLION MOSTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL CENTRAL GOVERNMENT. If people don’t get that then they don’t get anything as far as political freedom and future goes.

I hope America wakes up soon to the monster that is poised to destroy her and instead destroys most of the beast with the only legal weapon of freedom at their disposal: THE CONSTITUTION.

Self defense is understandable. Not acceptable in this case, though.

Every gumbint schmoe tries to perpetuate and justify his or her position. Unlike the private sector worker who quickly runs out of their own money, and thus can only cause very limited damage, the government can pretend that other people’s money is unlimited.

That’s why it was so hard to get rid of Apartheid in South Africa. So many voters made their living from enforcing the system. That’s why school choice meets with so much resistance. The teachers’ unions have a captive audience of little money makers, and they don’t want them to have the option to take their tax-paid education package elsewhere, just because they fail to teach them anything.

The employee needs to be tracked hunted down and brought before the court strung up by the neck until dead.

FIXED!
