I concur, it is a nest for wrong doing.

Any complex gov control group can be misused.

Claver, this is a brilliant suggestion. It is an ideal time to rejuvenate the Fair Tax and eliminate the IRS gestapo. The Fair Tax would transform our nation by moving over $1 trillion into more productive environments. See Rep. Linder and his partners book called The Fair Tax. This system would replicate the Texas sales tax and the States productivity and freedoms. I suggest we get this idea to Huckabee. He’s one of the strongest proponents of the Fair Tax. We need to fend off the Flat Tax idea as just a ruse. That’s what we have now after years of government meddling. We must each write to our congressmen.

Right on, regarding the IRS and the UN. There is an imbalance in our country today regarding salary and expenditures. It’s hard for most to save money, and then to have to pay penalties and interest to the IRS on money owed. Something has to change. Whatever the answer, we definitely don’t want to jump out of the frying pan into the fire, however. Thank you, brothers, for standing up.

The IRS tax code creates 35,000 lobbyists in Washington DC. They may our politicians rich, crooked, self-serving, and our tax code dysfunctional.

How to resolve: Replace the IRS with the FAIR TAX PLAN. It taxes retail sales only. It does not tax wages, income, death, profits, dividends, interest, capital gains or sale of used items. All legal citizens will get a monthly rebate equal to the poverty level income meaning low income workers pay no tax. Illegals get no monthly check. (a disincentive that would mean many would leave the USA!)
$400 Billion wasted in tax compliance would be saved. $15 trillion offshore $ would return to the USA that would jump start our economy creating millions of jobs! But this plan is so efficient and workable, it will not come from DC. You and I must bring it to DC via demand by our congressman.

The 35,000 lobbyists will leave DC and the gravy train to our congress will be removed. All of the above is a win-win for our country, our citizens, our economy and our government!

Spot on, Apostle Claver! The Infernal Revenue Bureau (I refuse to call them a Service) have been a tyrannical “force majeure” as long as I have walked the earth. The despotic behavior of this administration, especially, has turned the Gestapo against the people in a way that, to my knowledge, has not been used in quite such a flagrant way before. I completely agree, the only way to kill the monster that inhabits Weaselton, District of Corruption, is to starve it of the funding that is its lifeblood. Shut it down!

As a single parent raising four children without child support, the IRS rained their tyrannical injustice on me for the ernings of my x-husband when he worked overseas and I had no access to his pay or pay stubs. They could not locate him so they came after me with a vengence. Garnished my wages, seized my house and left me without sufficient resources to propertly cloth and feed my children for a one year period of time. Through God’s grace and my church family I was able to make it until God cause a miracle to happen to get them off my case, literally. The IRS agency and it’s employees have too much power and too much accessability to a private citizen’s money and resources. The IRS has been ruled tyrannicallly for too long, they must be adsolved. This latest excessive use of power must come to light and the guilt parties brought to justice. All those involved, including the President who has lied about his knowledge of this.

A flat tax is the only fair tax, eliminating lobbying, bribes, kickbacks or special treatment, thus says the Bible. Is the IRS and Washington D.C. and the IRS smarter?
A flat tax sends them all to the unemployment office.

Comment on Democrats: Racist to the Core by Greg

PilotX states: “You really think a racist party would have elected a blah [black] president?”

Ah, now we’re getting to it. Your assumption, sir, is that only white people are racist. Which is one of the most racist assumptions out there, and is a major tenent in the DNC plank. It does not matter what race (or gender) the president is. Rather, what is racist are the MOTIVES for electing that particular person. And quite frankly, the DNC moved Obama up the candidate list (and a strong case can be made that it did so side-stepping Constitutional law/vetting) BECAUSE of his race.

Why is NOT voting for Obama necessarily “racist”? Is it racist of Democrats to NOT vote for a white man? Why does having a black candidate necessarily make you “NOT racist”?

These attitudes based on nothing more than assumptions and brainwashing are racist. Unfortunately, they are also pervasive, which makes them seem “normal”.

… and let’s include the UN while we’re at it, please. Talk about an anti-Constitutional, anti-American terrorist/spy network funded by the very people who are being undermined by it–the UN, just like the IRS, is nothing more than a fasco-marxist enclave disguised in sheep’s clothing of “service”.
