The IRS is part of the “swamp” which needs to be drained.

If Trump and Sessions turned it around on democrats and started doing exactly what they did to our side, the MSM and dems would scream from the rafters about how unfair it is. They would broadcast it far and wide and then it would have to come to a screeching halt.

I wouldn’t put it past Trump to do it too, and why not?

Better yet, lets see if the MSM cares when it is used against them. There is fire where all of that smoke is coming from.

THAT is exactly the solution I see. Attorney General Sessions needs to be absolutely ruthless. I hope he can be.

IRS = the quick sand IN the swamp
Once stuck in quick sand it is impossible to set yourself free. Our nation should return to our original Constitution. No IRS (period) It is not the government’s responsibility and they have no right to hold hostages of any citizen due to ‘taxes’ owed

My suggestion: no nonprofit or tax-exempt status for any political activity. No good reason to treat issue advocacy any differently than campaign contributions.

I absolutely agree with you. The income tax is not about revenue generation, it is about control. The income tax as it’s implemented forces Americans to lose their fourth amendment rights to privacy and enslaves us. The government shapes the tax to control our behavior and to limit social mobility by preventing the accumulation of wealth. The income tax needs to be abolished.

The use of government power to punish political opponents should be abhorrent to responsible people. Those who do it should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law no matter what party they belong to. When that is acceptable to people we have truly lost our country.

I see it as “reparations.”

I seem to recall the Bible saying to perform punishments 3-fold worse in response.

We nuked Japan. Twice.

I believe that a retired justice gave us a hint-

I am not saying that I understand all of the legalities discussed there, but some think that there is a way with this “personhood definition”.
