The problem is the taxation of income
IRS Scandal -
There Is No Trust to Fix
“The
‘income’ tax scheme is an utterly corrupt and corrosive fraud feeding an
ever-more insatiable appetite of a swollen cadre of politically astute private
interests and their camp-followers, by way of a deliberate campaign of
disinformation, intimidation, and cunning. It facilitates almost
incomprehensible harm to the well-being of all of the rest of us - both by the
nature and peripheral effects of its implementation, and by the practices and
policies which the wealth it transfers make possible.”
- Peter
Hendrickson, “Cracking the Code”
“The
democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to
work and give to those who would not…To compel a man to furnish funds for the
propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
- Thomas
Jefferson
“If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general
welfare, the powers of Congress would subvert the very foundation, the very
nature of the limited government established by the people of America.”
- Alexander
Hamilton
By the ninth section of the same article, it is further provided, That no capitation, or other direct tax, shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census, or enumeration, before directed.
By the eighth section of the same article, it was declared, that Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises; but all duties, imposts, and excises, shall be uniform throughout the United States.
The
great object of the Constitution was, to give Congress a power to lay taxes,
adequate to the exigencies of government; but they were to observe two rules
in imposing them, namely, the rule of uniformity, when they laid duties,
imposts, or excises; and the rule of apportionment, according to the census,
when they laid any direct tax.”
- United States
Supreme Court, Hylton v. U.S. (1796)
“The
purpose (of the 16th Amendment) was not to change the existing interpretation…
in order to cause a direct tax on the income to be a direct tax on the source
itself, and thereby to take an income tax out of the class of excises, duties,
and imposts, and place it in the class of direct taxes.”
- United States
Supreme Court, Brushaber v. Union Pacific R.R. (1916)
“By
the previous ruling (in Brushaber) it was settled that the provisions of the
16th Amendment conferred no new power of taxation, but simply prohibited
the previous complete and plenary power of income taxation possessed by
Congress from the beginning from being taken out of the category of indirect
taxation to which it inherently belonged, and being placed in the category of
direct taxation subject to apportionment…”

Supreme Court, Stanton v. Baltic Mining Co.. (1916)
IRS
acting chief Danny Werfel vows to fix ‘trust’ in the agency
Danny Werfel, the acting Commission of the IRS yesterday told Congress that
he would fix trust in the agency. He has promised they would come in and
clean up the IRS. Really?
Haven’t we heard this before?
We are fortunate that the Republicans control the House of Representatives
or this scandal would have been swept under the rug as so many others have been
in the past.
Where do we take this from here? What must we insist the
conservatives do about the IRS scandal to make sure this really does not happen
again?
If anyone really believes that that Danny Werfel or for that matter anyone
in the Obama Regime really wants to restore trust in government, they are proof
of life after brain death.
Government is the enemy. We have repeated proof of that. Just
take a look at the poster child of government evil, Lois Lerner. Before
she was persecuting Tea Party groups under the Obama Regime, she was
persecuting the Christian coalition under the Clinton administration.
Werfel’s plea that he wants to restore trust is just the Regime’s way of
saying, “let’s move on and forget about this.”
We must never forget.
We must also make sure this never happens again.
There is only one way to do that.
Some conservatives are talking about abolishing the IRS and replacing it.
That is the problem.
You cannot replace the IRS.
That is the equivalent of giving someone aspirin for pain in the arm
without setting the broken bone.
The problem that gives rise to IRS abuses is the taxation
of income.
The left has always demanded the taxation of income. Go to any state that does not have a state income tax and what is the
left in that state demanding? They are demanding the state go to an
income-based form of taxation.
Why does the left have an almost religious obsession with the income tax?
It is simple. All the income tax does is provide for the easy,
endless expansion of government.
Do you know who have been the worst about seeing the income tax expand
government?
It has been Republicans.
Republicans have repeatedly voted to increase the size of government and
after Democrat administrations, they refuse to cut the increase in the size of
government. But that is not where the Republicans have really gone wrong.
Tax cuts are a mantra of the Republican Party. It is a good idea, as taxes must
be extremely low for there to be economic prosperity and freedom.
When Republicans cut taxes Democrats scream about the deficit. That is
the only time they are concerned about the deficit. What is the typical
Republican response? The Republicans tell people that cutting taxes will
boost the economy, which will in turn bring in more tax receipts.
They are right.
Every time we have cut taxes, revenues to the Treasury have
risen. What happens when revenues to the Treasury rise?
You guessed it. The politicians figure out new ways to spend that
money that is coming in.
The only way to break this cycle and to stop the endless,
easy expansion of government is to eliminate the income tax. The only way we
will ever prevent another round of IRS abuses is to abolish the income
tax. The only way we can restore “trust” with the government is to be able
to control the size of government and the only way we can do that is to abolish
the income tax.
This is the only answer.
Either we abolish the income tax, which does away with the need for or IRS
or we simply wait another ten years for another IRS scandal.

STOP using that blasted "d" word, "democracy", especially when you're allegedly quoting our founding Fathers.
"The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind." -Thomas Jefferson
Quote the source material in which Jefferson spoke as stated here on "democracy".
The word democracy makes me want to puke, too. As far as the IRS and the income tax just stop paying it. What do you think they are going to do; lock everybody up?
F THE IRS.
