Ex-IRS chiefs urge House to reject impeaching Koskinen
This is a sign of where we are at. The moment the politicos get their act together to try to do something about the blatent corruption there, these weasels all ban together to come cry and moan about why no one should do anything with crap like: It will impact millions". Excuse me, but when an IRS commissioner ignores Congress and supenas, lets a criminal get off and retire and does not do anything to remedy it, then he should be impeached. For 8 of the corrupt creeps to ban together shows just how out of touch they all are in the wonderland. This should really make you angry...
Typical lying looter gang of pirates.
I am past anger, nick, and so are hundreds of thousands of others. Revolution against these unrepentant, counter-productive, anti-liberty, elitist thieves is only a matter of time.
Wreck the federal bond ratings and the ability to fund the government ASAP.
One more example of the gangrene infecting Washington. It smells bad from the Atlantic shore to the Pacific surf.
Well, King Barry did promise some big time transparency.
His is just of a stuff you can see through that's very stinky sort and hard to wipe off. Historically speaking, that is.
As long as tomorrow's history isn't slanted, rewritten by both organic and inorganic Teflon tools. It could very well work out that way.
The 16th amendment allowing the income tax is based on sacrifice to the collective as a moral ideal. Without rejecting the false morality the income tax and the amendment will remain. Even if you could get rid of the 16th amendment, in this post-constitutional era driven by the premises of collectivism and statism, it would not stop the income and other massive taxes or the corruption.
It isn't just "collectivist/statist influence", the fundamental premise of sacrifice to others as the basis of ethics must be repudiated on a cultural scale. Repealing the 16th amendment and criticizing bad "influences" is not enough and not possible without that. It is a very long process to uproot a widespread emotional clinging to false premises and requires rational understanding of the nature and purpose of ethics itself. Minor reforms that may be possible against something like IRS abuse are necessary but only buy time to reverse the downward spiral.
When the infamous bank robber Willy Sutton was asked why he robbed banks he said "because that is where the money is". He didn't excuse it on an alleged moral principle and everyone knew he was a crook.
