Consumption tax only = neutered IRS.

Cantor and the rest of Boehner’s stooges are rolling out these campaign season going nowhere House bills. Not impressed.

Camp has been totally useless on the IRS scandal. Seemingly by design. He won’t be neutering anything tax related.

Obama ordered the IRS to oppress conservatives. The IRS stopped at least 500 conservative groups from organizing and so rigged the election of 2012 for Obama and democrats in the Senate

This Obama socialist/democrat must be impeached and must resign now for this

where is the conservative media covering this IRS scandal or calling for Obama’s resignation.Rush,savage, Hannity, Levin etc. are nowhere but they have 3 hours a day to REPETEADLY talk about the IRS abuses against Americans. the conservative media just covers what the evil liberal news media sets as the headlines.

Unless they impeach the SOB they are just pissing into the wind. No one goes to jail, no one is held accountable. Anything less than that they are just jerking our chains.

While I’m not on board at all with the libertarian “get rid of the IRS” crazy, income tax is used not so much to raise revenue but to control and scare and manipulate. It’s a bigger, scarier version of seat belt laws, etc, that are primarily used for probable cause to stop someone for other reasons. It’s like those TV shows you see where the cops use the fake “tail light is out” to pull the perp over.

Someone mentioned “consumption tax = neutered IRS”. While it’s a bit more involved than that, that is pretty much a bingo.

at what Republicans perceive to be the IRS’s persistent abuse of its authority.

I perceive that the sun rises in the east.

Little Timmy Geithner was in charge of the Treasury Department when these plans to suppress the Tea party were put in place. Something about “... rotting from the head ... “

1) Veto bait
2) Never see the light of day in Harry Reid’s Senate
3) Any “plan” that doesn’t start with Lois Lerner going to jail is doomed to failure.

Passing another law just adds to the confusion.
Government hacks will twist words or meanings to do as they please.

Outlaw civil service unions, they're are the real power behind government, politicians are just stooges.

Never happen. The GOPe has just as much vested interest in government power as the Dem’s.

They love this sort of stuff. They know it won't be enacted so they have no responsibility. But they get to pose as righteous defenders of the people...before 'coptering off to Andrews for golf with Barry.

How many of the GESTAPO SCUMBAGS AND THEIR ENABLERS are in prison?

FUCONgre$$

$ocialism Is Legal Plunder (Bastiat). The IRS is the gestapo of the U.S.A. - United Socialists of America.

The GOPe wanted to get the preemptive surrenders over quick on the important stuff so we could get months and months of do nothing Capitol Hill debate club antics.

The saddest part is even if the GOP takes the Senate they will be pulling the same stunts next year. The Dims will never agree to cloture on these kinds of bills. The GOP will be in the same tactical position with no bills getting out of Congress. This gridlock seems to be by design to avoid engagement with the kenyan.

The GOPe has proven they are unwilling to engage the kenyan and govern in a conservative manner. Conservatives should proceed accordingly.
