"Congress has doubled the IRS budget over the past 10 years -- making that agency one of the fastest growing non-entitlement programs. It has increased its employment by 20 percent. The IRS’s powers to investigate and examine taxpayers transcend those of any other law enforcement agency. Virtually all of the constitutional rights regarding search and seizure, due process, and jury trial simply do not apply to the IRS."

Reader comments about this quote:
They've also issued IRS agents with shotguns. Which literally puts them in the category of Highway Robbers. And we pay for that.
 -- J Carlton, Calgary
 
Those that work for the IRS are people that enjoy power. Look at those that do not pay their taxes and get away with it like Geithner, Daschle, Rangel, and he wrote the tax laws! What a joke. But tell them that the constitutional rights regarding search and seizure, due process and jury trial does not apply to them and you know how far you will get.

we need to pressure congress to limit the power of the IRS. And ultimately, we need to eliminate it. But to get there we need to take a page from the socialists play book by demanding changes and getting whatever we can get, and then turn around and demand more. And over time achieve an America with the unleashed economical potential and freedom of a nation full of free earning citizens.

No dates, and as I recall the IRS budget has been reduced not increased since 2000. Just more fear and lies rather than the factual truth.
 -- Anonymous, Reston, VA, US
 
The IRS has recently added several thousand new agents so don't tell me that their budget has been cut since 2000.

THe IRS is the primary agent of the Tyrant ... Our own government!!!

Anonymous/Reston,VA--You seem to enjoy stating the polar opposite of truth and common sense. Since Obama has been in office the IRS has been in the process of hiring 16,000 new agents. My nephew is one of the recent hires, so don't try to get away with your deceit. I wonder if Geithner, Daschle, and Rangel and the literally many hundreds of other federal employees that have not paid their taxes, will finally be forced to pay those taxes plus interest, or lose their jobs. Everyone of them should be on a plan to resolve their tax debt. It infuriates me that I pay as much tax as I do on as little income as I have and they can skirt their obligation for YEARS!! And now the government wants to take my ONLY deduction for my mortgage! The last two sentences of the quote are a description of a gestapo regime and it is legitimate in our own government.

That's a start to the reality that is tyranny and slavery.
 -- Mike, Norwalk
 
I agree, but also cut the military budget. The biggest and richest counties are those around DC WOW! what a surprise... Cut also the prison services which is another fast growing industry. If we had a flat tax the IRS would not exist (relatively speaking). Carol, who do you thinks runs Obama wake up girl..... WALL STREET and the Military

The IRS is an arm of the Federal Reserve which is a private corporation. Its formation was a requirement for replacing gold with interest-bearing Federal Reserve Notes. The taxes originally had to be paid in gold, not Federal Reserve Notes which are but IOUs. But once the Fed got all the nations's gold (which was bound to happen) they allowed payments of taxes in Federal Reserve Notes. The IRS is an unaccountable, unconstitutional, and tyrannical agency that need not follow any rules for due process -- you are guilty until proven innocent. I read recently that the IRS cannot account for 40% of its budget -- it is just 'gone' -- if you or I could not account for 40% of our income, we would be imprisoned. Shame on anyone who has taken a job with the IRS -- they are traitors to their country.

Don't usually use language like this, but BULLSHIT. Ronald Raegan stripped the IRS years ago and the employees they have left to check tax reports only look at the low income ones so that lying and cheating by the millionaires in the country pay much smaller percentage of their income than we wage slaves. And that's 'we', not 'us.'

Hey, Anonymous. YOU wake up! George Soros is the one on the other end of that Blackberry. Obama is a cunning pawn of the Soros machine. Wall Street and the greed therein is only part of the equation. The Fed, the Central Bank is not even affiliated with the government and should be audited and dissolved. Read the pamphlet by Wickliffe B. Vennard, "The Federal Reserve Corporation, 42 Years of Subversion in 100 Acts," so you can see the light. It was written sometime in the 40's. If you want to learn something, go to the following website, and order a copy. www.alibris.com.

dick, what a stupid comment. What ever the statist theocracy gives, it can take away, and give back again (like the 16,000 new IRS suckers of life). Show 'US' the Constitutionally authorizing enabling act of the Internal Revenue Service (not just an individual but, a regime of - as Archer started a list of - unlawful actions by a foreign dictator) Amerika is a government of tyrannous men, not a government of law !
 -- Mike, Norwalk
 
Abolish the IRS, establish a fair flat tax. Abolish all tax shelters and loopholes, and abolish the privately owned federal reserve and their fiat money. Fiat money systems have always failed.
 -- Robert, Chiloquin
