#1 Fucking dumbasses... they can't even do corruption and coverup properly.

Get some rope.

#2 They are at it again, too. Now going after Breitbart News Network with a massive audit. Drudge, Breitbart, and Senator Cruz came out today with an extensive demand themselves on why apparent political persecution by the IRS is still ongoing, with Cruz hinting at criminal charges against the IRS.

#3 Simply deduct 15% from everyone's pay and forward it to the Department of the Treasury. The IRS is no longer needed.

#4 Why not abolish federal taxes too? The Fed can just print whatever the government needs. 40% of the federal budget already comes from borrowed/printed money anyway. Why not just make it 100%?

#5 No, Besoeker: the goal is to deduct EVERYTHING from everyone's pay and then send back to them what the government thinks they should get.

#6 If this doesn't speak to IRS corruption and coverup, I don't know what does. Time to abolish the IRS as these people are so crooked they have to screw their socks on in the morning. Better take a look at a few other agencies at the same time. DOJ, State, EPA have all been politicized against the interests of the American people. Probably could add a few more to the list.

#7 Sounds more like Mr. Fallon (hired by the Atty General after the disclosure of the DOJ's subpoenaing phone records from the AyPee, among other things) is still moonlighting for his old boss, Senator Chuck Schumer.

#8 ...with Cruz hinting at criminal charges against the IRS.

As much as I would like to see that, I don't see it happening until there is a Republican President. And I have doubts it would happen even then. The Republicans, have turned into the Republican'ts.
