They haven't bothered to hide the corruption for years now

 The IRS is removing the investigative group that was working on Hunter Biden's tax fraud.

 The IRS on Monday removed the “entire investigative team” from its long-running tax fraud probe of first son Hunter Biden in alleged retaliation against the whistleblower who recently contacted Congress to allege a cover-up in the case, The Post has learned.

The purge allegedly was done on the orders of the Justice Department, the whistleblower’s attorneys informed congressional leaders in a letter.

The IRS needs to be demolished and done away with.  Period.  And the DOJ needs to be cleaned out, preferably with bleach, and the top DOJ criminals need to be publicly executed.

Truth

 

"Peacefully"

 

Government Thugs, unleashed on the Middle Class

 The IRS, making sure landscaping company owners properly report how they paid for their vehicles!

There’s a reason Democrats blocked efforts to keep their new 87,000 IRS agents from auditing anyone making under $400k, and if we needed proof, all we have to do is watch this IRS training scenario posted by Thomas Massie.

Notice who they’re going after … it’s not some evil billionaire.

At this point, abolishing the IRS is the only think that will save Americans from getting hammered.  If you think all these new agents are just there to check your taxes?  Hah and double-hah.  These are the new Stormtroopers of the DNC

Yep. The income tax is evil.

 

I stole this from Busted Knuckles

 

Seems like good advice.

Well, the same regime as Barry O'Bumblefuck is in charge

 So that means once again turning the IRS into a weapon just like the Jug-Eared Fuck did during his first two terms (this being the third, essentially)

The IRS states in an official letter that Biblical values are exclusively Republican.  That might be news to President Biden, who is often described as basing his political ideology on his religious beliefs,” said Lea Patterson, Counsel for First Liberty Institute. “Only a politicized IRS could see Americans who pray for their nation, vote in every election, and work to engage others in the political process as a threat. The IRS violated its own regulations in denying tax exempt status because Christians Engaged teaches biblical values.”

The constant barrage of government agencies violating citizens rights is just another reason why Civil War 2.0 is going to be so bloody.  You think people don't know where the IRS offices are?  Hell, you think people don't have lists of all the federal properties?  Guess where I work?  I just hope I can retire before I'm shot by some fed-up citizen who's done watching the FedGov metaphorically rape his life in half.

How Refreshing

Trump is proposing a budget plan that would balance the budget in fifteen years.

Anyone remember when Republicans used to care about a balanced budget?  Remember when the Republican party made statements every year about how we were plunging headlong into debt that we couldn't recover from?

Of course, it was all words.  When they had the House, Senate and White House in 2004, what did they do with it?  Spend, spend, spend, baby!  And Obama made them look like a piker with his spending, but by then they had stopped all pretense of passing a budget and just rammed through massive, bloated Continuing Resolutions every year.

Paul Ryan put the nail in that particular coffin, when he bent over and sucked Obama's dick like a good little pussy when he became Speaker of the House.  And even after Trump got elected in 2016, Paul Ryan refused to put forth a budget, or even have a fight about the budget, even with Republican control of Congress and the Presidency.

I honestly believe that this is part of the reason the Republicans lost control of the House in 2018.  Why the hell should any R get support when all the do is act like a D?  When Trump was elected, how many bills were ready to go for his signature when he sat down in the White House?

None.  Zip, zilch, zero.  Budget?  Ha!  Reform bills?  Ha!  Anything that actually pushes forward a common-sense conservative agenda?  HA!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  I don't know if the Democrats had photos of Paul Ryan in compromising positions or what, but he did everything they wanted him to do, while shafting the Republicans who put him in his position.  He's gone now, far too late.  Same with Jeff Flake.  Same with John F'n Boehner.  Granny Rictus McWinebox is in control, at least until Election 2020.  We'll see what happens then.  Maybe we'll get people who actually care about representing the voters in office.

Maybe Trump can actually get them to do their jobs.  Maybe that's just a dream.

Americans pay more in taxes than on food, clothing and medical care combined

Things that cannot go on forever will not.  Buy more ammo.

In 2018, according to Table R-1, American consumer units spent an average of $9,031.93 on federal income taxes; $5,023.73 on Social Security taxes (which the table calls "deductions"); $2,284.62 on state and local income taxes; $2,199.80 on property taxes; and $77.85 on what BLS calls "other taxes." 

The combined payments the average American consumer unit made for these five categories of taxes was $18,617.93. 

At the same time the average American consumer unit was paying these taxes, it was spending $7,923.19 on food; $4,968.44 on health care; and $1,866.48 on "apparel and services." 

These combined expenditures equaled $14,758.11. 

So, the $14,758.11 that the average American consumer unit paid for food, clothing and health care was $3,859.82 less than the $18,617.93 it paid in federal, state and local income taxes, property taxes, Social Security taxes and "other taxes."

Everybody feeling all warm and happy yet?  While Schiff for brains and the rest of the Democrat Party use our government to destroy the rule of law and make a mockery out of the justice system?

Your blood pressure a little low? Read this:

The Average American Family spends more on TAXES than on food and clothing combined.

“Consumer units” (which include families, financially independent individuals, and people living in a single household who share expenses) spent an average of $9,562 on food and clothing in 2017, according to BLS. 

But they spent $16,749 on federal, state and local taxes.

And given how much food costs these days, that's saying something. 

Now, I would say that the state you live in makes a huge difference.  My house in Wisconsin, which is just under 1000 square feet and on 1/4 of an acre in a rural town makes me pay more property taxes than my parent's home which is over twice as large and sits on over 20 acres of land.  My house is valued at roughly one-quarter of what my parent's property is, but I pay more property taxes.  Think about that.

Gas taxes.  Kalifornia's gas tax is 69¢ per gallon.  Idaho is 43.4¢.  If a person in each state used ten gallons of gas each week, then the person in Idaho is paying $2.56 less each week for gas.  $133.12 per year.  (Cheapest gas tax?  Alaska.  26.4¢ per gallon)

But still, forcing the average family to pay more to the government than they pay to feed and clothe themselves might just explain why this country is so damn screwed up.  And then when you realize that this country is spending far more than it takes in?  Red Curtain Of Blood.

Things that cannot go on forever, won't.  There's going to be a massive crash.  Hell, it might coincide with Civil War v.2.  Buy guns and ammo.

Truth, plainly spoken

There is no such thing as "government money".

There’s quite simply no difference between private and public money other than “government money” is wealth taxed or borrowed away from the private sector.  To state what’s rather obvious, governments only have money to spend insofar as the private sector is creating the wealth in the first place. 

The government cannot spent what it does not first take from someone who earned it.  The government does not "generate revenue", it taxes the productive and takes their money.  The government doesn't earn a paycheck, it takes from other people's paychecks.  Even when the government raises money through bonds, they have to pay back those bonds with money...  taken from the productive citizens. 

"Oh, but Dave, don't you want roads and schools and fire departments?"  A - we had those prior to the income tax.  B - government schools are a complete and utter failure, and the entire system needs to be destroyed.

Now pardon me, I have more guns to look at.  The Mrs. may have determined what pistol she wants, but I still have a smoargasboard of bangity goodness to peruse.

It's Tax Day.

Otherwise known as "The Day The Government Rapes You Without Lube Or A Reach-Around". 

Republicans once again step on their dicks

But that's because they're just the GOP wing of the Democrat Party.  Actions speak louder than words.

All those fiscal conservatives of days past – Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI), Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) – voted for the new budget. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) attempted to block the bill by refusing to give the go-ahead to a vote on it sans an amendment process, complaining, “Every one of these Republicans complained about President Obama’s deficits.” But he was shut down. 

Trillion dollar deficits.  The GOP just sold more of our grandchildren and great-grandchildren into financial slavery to pay for socialist pipedreams that do nothing but waste money.  And it is STILL NOT A BUDGET!  IT IS STILL NOT THE VERY THING THAT CONGRESS IS SUPPOSED TO PRODUCE!

This is why the Senate GOP has become a joke. McConnell has signaled for years that Republicans can deviate from the platform as much as they want, even with a GOP president. He’s merely a guy to make sure the trains run on time. 

A normal party leader would call people like Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins into his office and say, “Look, the president has already compromised beyond belief by offering a massive amnesty. It’s time to support the party platform and vote for a package that concurrently addresses our issues, otherwise find yourself a new party.” 

The GOP platform has become a free-for-all. The only ones who don’t get blank checks are conservatives. While cutting a deal with Schumer to raise the debt ceiling and increase the debt to unthinkable levels, McConnell has agreed to prevent conservatives from making any push to pass a single good piece of legislation this year. Section 30103 of the McConnell bill treats the budget caps for FY 2019 as if they are the official annual budget, which means that there will be no budget reconciliation this year. As we warned last month, without budget reconciliation, there is no way to pass conservative health care priorities or welfare reform. And that is exactly the way McConnell wants it.

The GOP is still the Democrat Party's little bitch thanks to Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan.  The Democrats are still in control, Chuck Schumer is still fucking this country over every single day, and Mitch McConnell will do nothing about it.  This is the GOP.  The Right Wing of the Democrat Party.  Mitch McConnell should just switch parties now, since he apparently wants to keep Chuck Schumer happy more than his voting base.

This isn't America

The IRS needs to be destroyed.

Things what make me like Trump's tax plan

Rand Paul is on board.

I’m all in for tax cuts @realDonaldTrump. The biggest, boldest cuts possible - and soon!

— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) October 20, 2017

There's quite a bit that Libertarians and I don't see eye to eye on, but Taxes is one issue where we're shoulder to shoulder.  If Rand Paul likes the plan, I'm inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt.

We're getting screwed

Americans spent more on taxes than food and clothing combined.  And what are we getting for it?  Bankrupt entitlement programs, trillions upon trillions of dollars of debt, and a looming budget crisis that will probably wipe out the economy of this country when it occurs.

Feel pissed off yet?

Things the US Media won't tell you.

Obamacare costs $50,000 for every person who's "insured".

The numbers are daunting: It will take $1.993 trillion, a number that looks like $1,993,000,000,000, to provide insurance subsidies to poor and middle-class Americans, and to pay for a massive expansion of Medicaid and CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program) costs. 

Offsetting that massive outlay will be $643 billion in new taxes, penalties and fees related to the Obamacare law. 

That revenue includes quickly escalating penalties – or 'taxes,' as the U.S. Supreme Court described them – on people who resist Washington's command to buy medical insurance. 

It also includes income from a controversial medical device tax, which some Republicans predict will be eliminated in the next two years. 

If they're right, Obamacare's per-person cost would be even higher.

I just hope that I'm settled in up in Northern Idaho when the entire system comes crashing down.  Or at least someplace rural.  Someplace where I'm not surrounded by "vibrant youths" when their EBT cards flash all zeros because the gummit ain't got the money to pay them off.

!!!!!

Here ya go, folks

The summary of the Omnibus bill.  Over $1 Trillion dollars!

To include almost $1 Billion for "unaccompanied children", i.e. illegal aliens crossing our border.  I bet there's crap that that buried all through the bill.

"We're 32!"

So, in a study of 34 different country's tax codes, we're number 32 in terms of competitiveness.

Anyone who's tried to open a business knows just how bad the tax situation in America is right now.  And it's going to get worse, because we don't have too many politicians with the stones to reform the tax code, even though doing so would damn near guarantee a Presidential vote later on down the line.

No, what the US Tax Code does right now is lower entrepreneurial growth, lower economic growth, and create incentives for a black market.

What, you didn't think of the black market?  If I can sell my product on the open market at $10 but taxes end up eating $5, then I can sell my product on the black market for a price greater than $5 and make more money.  $6 untaxed dollars is greater than $10 dollars that the government takes half of from me.

And not only do I keep more money in my pocket, but I starve the Liberal welfare state of tax revenue.  Double bonus.

Morons like this are why Obama gets elected

Dude, you mean I have to pay for all that crap I voted for?  No way!  I can't afford that!  Somebody needs to do something!

“I’m at the breaking point,” said Gretchen Gardner, an Austin artist who bought a 1930s bungalow in the Bouldin neighborhood just south of downtown in 1991 and has watched her property tax bill soar to $8,500 this year. 

“It’s not because I don’t like paying taxes,” said Gardner, who attended both meetings. “I have voted for every park, every library, all the school improvements, for light rail, for anything that will make this city better. But now I can’t afford to live here anymore. I’ll protest my appraisal notice, but that’s not enough. Someone needs to step in and address the big picture.”

The stupidity and ignorance on display with this woman is simply mind-boggling.  She votes for things that require tax dollars, and then complains when she gets taxed to pay for the things she voted for.

This woman is literally being hit in the face with the consequences of her own actions and she CANNOT.  UNDERSTAND.  WHAT.  IS.  HAPPENING.

This is an Obama voter, folks.  This is the disease that is eating American from the inside out.  This level of stupidity can't be cured by an outside force.  This is the cancer that produces symptoms like Obama and his administration.  This person literally cannot understand the concept of cause and effect.

And when she sells her house, she'll move to a new location, where the cycle will repeat itself all over again, because a liberal cannot learn from their mistakes.  If they could learn from their mistakes, they wouldn't be liberal.
