The truth is out there. But you won’t hear it from the IRS.
Question: How can you tell when the government is lying to you?
Answer: When its lips move.
OK, maybe not the funniest joke in the world, but you get the idea. Back in 2010, when the Obama Administration’s Internal Revenue Service was accused of bias against conservative groups, there was a full denial. How could anyone even think that the IRS would be targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny when it came to making decisions about tax exempt status applications? That would be unethical.
Well, before too long, we found out that was exactly what was happening and that the IRS had lied about it. Then, the IRS declared that the extra scrutiny was not politically motivated. Nobody had to uncover that blatant lie because it was so obvious on its surface. What other reason could there possibly be to target conservative groups?
Next, the IRS said that the targeting was done by “lower level employees in Cincinnati,” and that the Washington, D.C., office had no knowledge of it. This, of course, turned out to be yet another blatant lie. Is anybody seeing a pattern here? The truth means nothing to these people. They will tell one lie until it’s proven that they’re lying, and then they’ll move onto the next fabrication until that one is also shown to be a lie. And on it goes.
Really gives you a warm feeling of security, doesn’t it, when the national agency in charge of tracking individual and business taxes doesn’t care one bit about the truth. The only thing they care about is trying to protect what remains of their reputation.
Later, an IRS supervisor in Washington, D.C., acknowledged to congressional investigators that she was personally involved in reviewing Tea Party applications for tax exempt status as far back as 2010. Some of the applications that she was responsible for reviewing sat for more than a year without any action on her part. She’s been replaced and the Department of Justice is conducting a criminal investigation against the IRS.
How about you? Do you trust the IRS and other government agencies to tell the truth about their activities? What should be done about the IRS to make it more accountable? Should the agency itself be replaced? Please let me know your thoughts about this.
A very good example of IRS favoritism and incompetence is granting the cult known as Scientology tax exempt status as a cherch. The group and its leaders have violated every requirement and restriction set up for this tax status. We as tax payers are funding a huge for profit self help scam that is protected under the guise of being a church. The group is worth billions and they have not paid a penny of tax since its inception.
Here is a question for you: Where in the 26 USC Title A (the US federal tax code) does it say that you owe a tax?
Statement: the US federal income tax laws are 100% constitutional. However to what and whom do they apply? This is not a trick question. The answer can be found and thoroughly explained, and thousands of personal testimonies given that it most certainly does not apply to most Americans, never did, and the Supreme Court has agreed so without exception. Before i give you some references, let me also state, that the 16th Amendment did not insititute an income tax. That is not what it says, and not what the Supreme Court has said in many cases addressing this common misunderstanding. http://www.losthorizons.com and http://www.incometaxtruth.com and http://www.taxreliefteam.org are good place to start. This is what could and would put a damper on the federal government. 200 years od US history proves that, and it also proves that voting never restrains the federal government and is a huge waste of time and resources.
I believe that everyone with a brain knows how our system works. I have some neighbors that are on 100 % disability. I have seen the husband rebuild front ends on other peoples cars but he is to disabled to work and i am having to help support this person. Our system is out of control. If complain enough you receive money, nothing to do with honesty, just give me , give me. I am a disabled veteran, ,wrong place at the right time, or right place at the wrong time,
It’s a sorry state for our government. Now God is being removed, as it is offensive to certain groups. Our fore fathers believed in God, the Truth and Liberty, so do I. I’m not afraid for myself but for my children and grand children.Remember we (as a whole), receive what we ask for…. Love and God Bless Everyone on this Special Holiday.
First of all I don’t believe nothing the irs or even trust what they say or do. You have hard working Americans and all the federal government irs can do is take but we have no choice but to pay taxes.why do u think people are working under the table. No one believes in our government anymore. Good example look at all the mexicans they come over here they get housing, food stamps, welfare they get treated like kings and they have kid right after kid. u go over the borders of Iraq u get shot.this country is screwed up. back in the day you supported your own kids instead of giving out free money to all these lazy fuckers. Frank you know whats really funny though I’m seeing a lot of people that are getting ssi people that say there disabled bitching about how they have to pay for medical coverage and pay more money for there medical supplies like pills etc. I was born with epilepsy I covered it up for 30 yrs in the construction business until one day I had a seizure 40 ft in the air on a lift the lift was only 6ft x 3ft doing drywall finishing thank God I laid down on the platform I woke up lost all control of bodily functions if u know what means pissed and crap myself I never ever wanted to consider myself disabled but that scared the hell out of me 40ft in the air I said to my self I’m done I went and filed for disability insurance. Why can’t every one at least try to work to put back into social security for our kids future does that make any since frank
