Great article. Great point that the IRS is going after US.
Sorry, but promoting the flat tax as a response misses the point entirely. Remember that they are also using the ATF, OSHA, EPA, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!
There is something very serious going on here and you want to play whack-a-mole with the Federal alphabet agencies?!
Now is the time to go after the head of the octopus, not cut of an arm.
I don't think that you read what I wrote in comment# 1 after the link.
The author still didn't quite "get there."
These aren't mere scandals. They're crimes.
At best, the attacks represent independent attempts at self-preservation by the administrative state. The Tea Party is hostile to all alphabet agencies, and they simply fought back.
At worst, and probably closest to the truth, these crimes represent an acceleration of rat tactics to eliminate opposition and create a de facto one party state.
As you pointed out, since several agencies colluded, it means they were coordinated by higher ups. The higher ups above the cabinet level is the White House.
Nixon was a piker.
It’s time to do both.
Cut off the head. Cut off the arms. Then put all of the pieces in little boxes far away from each other.
Obama, the Knew and Approved president.
So far, every attempt to control and limit the government ends up with more bureaucracy and some new, sneaky way around the trip wires. I don’t see a simple solution, but I do believe that consolidation of agencies is a move in the right direction.
Eliminate and consolidate departments and delegate more activities to the states.
