Audit the IRS!

When certain unusual items pop up in the news that appear to point to a Democrat craftsman or underlying Big Government agenda, we're told that the events are merely isolated anomalies or coincidences that imply no such intentional design.

An opposite assertion forms the basis of an argument for the Intelligent Design of the universe -- the "watchmaker analogy": a person finding a watch lying on the ground would naturally assume it was created not by accident or series of coincidences, but by the intentional craftsmanship of a watchmaker.

In the world of politics, though, "coincidences" abound, and even if a craftsman was involved -- intelligence, good design, or design of something good is certainly a matter of opinion. (However, as suggested by the alternative "infinite monkey theorem" -- the larger our government becomes, it should be a greater possibility that something in thousands of typed pages of legislation, if not as stylish as a line from Shakespeare, might make sense.)

The Democrat Media Complex reports that the coincidences prove nothing more than the existence of "rogue" field offices, "dysfunctional" employees, overzealous volunteers -- or a biased misinterpretation, cherry-picking, or "obsession" by political opponents to turn events into "phony scandals." Usually the Complex manages to deflect criticism of the events into criticism of the skeptics, whose inquiring minds earn the label of "paranoid," "obstructionist," "anarchist," or "conspiracy theorist."

Examples are plenty:

• We're assured that instances of voting fraud are "extremely rare."
• Government spying on reporters covering certain stories just "got a little out of whack."
• The fact that unions received favored treatment in the GM bailout is incidental. There is "little or no documentation" to prove that Republican-leaning dealerships were targeted for closure.

End the IRS

[MrB]

repeal the 16th and implement a NRST.
No interaction between the revenue department and the individual citizen, just with businesses.

I think we need a department of AUDIT to account for every dollar spent. Attached to this department would be the department of FRAUD. These agencies would be independent of government manipulation and report directly to anyone that would listen and not just a filter media.

And, they would have the ability to fire and/or prosecute corrupt employees and politicians, plus the ability to close any federal agency that isn’t worth a curse.

If such agencies were a part of Government they could never be independent of Government..for funding, personnel, oversight, political protection etc. If its government its government owned and dangerous. JMHO!

I may have the name wrong, but I believe it was revealed that the ever lovely Cass Sunsteen had long since decided he and his troops would actively work to make anyone opposing this regime, to be labeled conspiracy nuts.

It’s just exhausting keeping up with all the lies and spinning of said lies.

Who is going to audit the IRS? Like asking who is going to go into the nuclear reactor to fix a leak.

The IRS is the government’s armed enforcer. It is answerable only to the president, and he is not on our side. It has all power over the people, since the power to seize money and goods is the ultimate power.

RE: Who is going to audit the IRS?

AN INDEPENDENT COUNSEL ( like the one who investigated Nixon and Clinton (e.g. Kenneth Starr ) ).

I sold my business and retired in 2012. Due to my biz CPA dragging his feet I didn’t get my final k1 until August 2013. My personal CPA filed my taxes online in mid August and due to overpaying my quarterlies I am due 6 figure refund. I was told I would get it in 2-3 weeks. I am still waiting. After literally hours on the phone with low information IRS employees I was finally told my refund was frozen but it was going to be released. That was a month ago. No reason was given for it being “frozen”. I am convinced that the Lois Lerner model for handling conservatives at the IRS has something to do with it. It is pretty obvious with a little searching who I give money to and where I stand on the issues that get flagged by our “public servants” in the IRS. I fully expect to get audited since they are reading this as well.
