Bullied by the IRS

I’ve always paid my taxes and have never been arrested or charged with any crime in my life. I am a successful small-business man. But in January of this year, I woke up to find that my business’ entire bank account — more than $35,000 — had been wrongly seized.

Later that same day, I was writing checks to my vendors. A federal agent strolls in. She tells me my hard-earned cash was taken by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). I was shocked. I’ve broken no law, committed no crime and was never warned my store could be in trouble. I asked her how I can keep managing my business when my account has been seized. She responded, “I don’t care.”

I am very surprised to see this in the Washington Times.

The Washington Times is reasonably moderate in terms of left wing bias ... had this article appeared in the ultra liberal, Obama loving Washington Post that would indeed be a surprise.

Welcome to the Soviet States of Amerika. Our communist/terrorist loving muzzie Commissar leads. This is what the Republic has become. Good luck folks. If you do not know the only way out of this mess, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, I would sincerely suggest you pick up a copy of the Holy Bible, or you may actually have one in a drawer or collecting dust on a shelf some where, and get into it. Start in the Book of John. Read Romans and The Acts, the move on into the Corinthians, Timothy, etc. Do not fail to read Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation. Folks, time draws short. VERY short before the return of our Lord. Don’t be left behind. You don’t want to be under Antichrist. He’ll make Obama, Hitler, Stalin, Pal Pot, etc. look like school boys.

Forfeiture of assets should only come AFTER their owner is convicted!

I know someone to whom this happened. He spent A LOT of money defending himself through the audit, and at the end, he was found to have no fault. The experience soured him so much he sold the business and got out.

[I want the USA back]

So let me get this straight. If you deposit 10,000, that is reported to the gov. If you deposit less than 10,000, they assume that you are trying to avoid the reporting. But the small deposits are reported to the gov, but we’re not supposed to know that, and so they assume we are trying to avoid the reporting. Also we’re not supposed to know that the 10,000 is now 5,000.

So when we deposit the day’s receipts to avoid theft from criminals that the government encourages by keeping us from having a firearm to defend ourselves from the theft we are accused of trying to hide money.

We deposit the money as it comes in and the government just waltzes in and takes it.

The USA is Venezuela. Only our president has a lower IQ.

Question for IRS (NSA, please forward)
What do you do about the criminals who don’t deposit the money they get illegally?

[JLS]

Well I wonder how many Dims this guy voted for over the years? If you want to stop this kind of thing you need to:

1. not vote for Dims.

2. not vote for GOP types who are big on the war on drugs.

I have saved your Bible recommendations and will begin doing just that. :)

She responded, “I don’t care.”

She was just channeling her inner Tommy Lee Jones in the Fugitive.

What a joke. So if a legitimate business takes in a lot of cash they shouldn’t put it into their bank business account to avoid money laundering charges?
I know that the fascists want businesses to avoid cash, but this is just going to lead to under-reporting.
Anyone know if bit-coins would help in this situation?

[ExTxMarine]

The current administration is marxist. In their world view, all the means of production should be in the hands of the government. They bitterly resent that anyone can own a business and actually make a profit. They want the money.

Did you hear Bill Clinton earlier this week at his international money laundering organization (Clinton Initiative Foundation (I think))?

He actually asked, how anyone could explain people making a profit out of healthcare? I mean, we need gas, and the Dems think the gas companies should do it for free (right now the US government makes more money per gallon than the manufacturer). We need homes, but the Dems think that this should be provided by the government (at a profit for THEM). We need so many things, and the Dems think all of these should be free or provided through the government.

Democrats ARE Socialists and Marxists, NOT just our current administration! ALL DEMOCRATS ARE SOCIALISTS AT HEART! I just think that most of them don't even KNOW they are! PERIOD!!!

[GeronL]

um... well... There is probably some difference somewhere... deep down...

Thanks for posting from the Gulag. We take freedom for granted. We have been warned by the Soviet experience of 70 years and 200+ years before by Jefferson, Madison and Adams.

Consider the new 100 dollar bills. In a nanosecond without Congress (not that they even matter any more), the 'new currency' becomes by fiat the only currency, the only legal tender, forcing the bad guys - black marketeers and drug dealers - to leave billions on the table, but also attacks any citizen who kept cash for any conceivable emergency. In the ensuing chaos, banks won't be able to offer 'conversion' without serious questions by them and their Treasury, Fed and IRS masters. No need for ATMs when you must use a government monitored credit card for all your needs and which will track the source of all you deposit.

Does ANYBODY pay attention?

Fer crissakes, civil forfeiture has been used for DECADES. It is one of the biggest weapons in the 'war on drugs', but like most big weapons it causes lots of collateral damage, like Mr Shott.

The Kansas City Star ran a six part series on it back in the 90's...very scary stuff...nobody cared then, nobody cares now.

[Texas Fossil]

My mistake, I should have realized that.

The Washington Compost was what I was thinking.

Thanks for reality check.

It goes a lot deeper than that...ANY deviation from your normal banking habits are looked on as suspicious and are flagged for ‘tracking’.
