I believe that the IRS became a joke long before Ted Cruz ever mentioned them.

No they are not.

It’s honest work and if they imagine themselves to be “above real labor” they can quit or be fired for cause.

Old story......my pop..ran a small successful business.

He got audited one year by the IRS....

The agent was a decent guy, He asked where my dad's records were...my dad pointed up to the attic. It was summer...in SoCal..and hot.

The agent went to the bathroom once...and my dad asked him if he did number one or number two..And if he did number two..how many squares of toilet paper did he use. The agent said why do you want to know that? Dad said...so I can write it off.

When all was said and done...the agent and my dad were friends...and my dad owed something like $500 bucks...and the agent told my dad...it probably cost $4k to audit him.

The agent ended up being my dad's tax guy after he quit the IRS......

Was my tax guy too...for a few years!!

Put those IRS people mixing cement, hauling rocks, building “THE WALL” that Trump wants. When that happens those ex-IRS folks will finally become productive society.

The man is the only true conservative choice.

Send these agents to the states and have them clean up Medicare/Medicaid fraud. That would be a great use of gov’t resources.

Then they can all retire.

Cruz it or lose it.

Much smaller border, even taking into account coastline.

Belize manages to secure their borders with less than 1,400

The borders of Belize total about 225 miles.

No income tax, period.

Sales tax only.

Period. Full stop. End of subject.

I like it.

Whatever it takes to remove all weight and power of the Federal Government from off the backs of everyday Americans. Something that shouldn't have ever been allowed to happen in the first place, IMO.

Recommend states collect and forward the Feds share - not our businesses.

I really don’t want all those nasty IRS people in my state, border or not.
Can we build a second fence just inside the first and use ‘em as a buffer between the two?

I’ve long felt that every politician and bureauRat should be forced to wear a target on their back at least one day a week.

There aren’t 90,000 armed, IRS agents.......

The Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that as of September 2008, federal agencies employed approximately 120,348 full-time law enforcement officers — all of whom were authorized to make arrests and carry firearms. The majority of those agents were employed by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice.

Most of those referred to as agents, are civilian investigators/auditors. However, if all of them were sent to the border with nothing more than a Swiss Army knife and tasked with taking down drug runners and they got hurt in the process....oh well!!!! That’s what you get for f*cking taxpayers whenever you can.

I would think that’s accomplished because the people of Belize actually give a sh*t about their country. And they don’t have La Raza getting invited to what ever they call their white house, to discuss allowing more illegals into their country.
