IRS--IT'S TIME TO BE REPLACED

Gary Johnson:  ‘Abolish the IRS’

http://watchdog.org/159115/johnson-abolish-irs/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=trending_29

Watch Dog – Rob Nikolewski – 7/14/2014

“Let’s abolish the IRS, let’s eliminate income tax, let’s eliminate corporate tax, let’s balance the federal budget and if we need a tax, it can be one federal consumption tax,” Johnson said.

But how would that work?

Instead of collecting taxes from various sources, a consumption tax works from a single point of purchase. It taxes people when they spend money on any given item or service. By eliminating income tax, sales tax and others, the idea is that overall price would not go up and may, according to its advocates, actually decrease the overall tax burden on citizens.

“I think a great starting point for a debate and discussion over a national consumption tax is, let’s start with the Fair Tax, legislation that has been written up and I think signed up on by 80 congressmen and women,” said Johnson.

“Why would any company, anywhere in the world, locate anywhere but the United States, given zero corporate tax?” Johnson said. “The entire world will change their tax structure to emulate no income tax, no corporate tax, no more filing.”

https://www.ouramericainitiative.com/abolish-irs.html

The Our America Initiative, led by Honorary Chairman Gary Johnson, advocates abolishing the IRS and replacing it with a simple system of collecting necessary government revenues when money is spent, not when it is earned. Shifting to a revenue-neutral consumption tax will put earners and businesses back in control.  Taxes won’t be withheld from paychecks. Instead, they will only be paid when an individual or business spends money, and except for a “prebate” to exempt spending for basic necessities, EVERYONE will pay the same rate.

No winners. No losers. Just a simple tax that is not only fair, but which creates incentives to earn, save and invest.  And by eliminating all the loopholes, benefits, etc., we won’t need a massive IRS. Also, half the lobbyists and special interests in Washington will probably disappear.

LOIS LERNER: WILL SHE FACE ARREST?

Two federal judges lay smackdown on IRS over ‘lost’ emails

http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/07/two-federal-judges-lay-smackdown-irs-lost-emails/

Freedom Outpost – Lily Dane – 7/13/2014

From The Daily Signal:

In the Judicial Watch case, Judge Sullivan ordered the IRS and the watchdog group to work cooperatively with another federal judge to recover Lerner’s emails, which IRS officials have said were destroyed when a computer hard drive crashed.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton called the decision “a victory for public accountability.” Fitton expressed optimism about eventual recovery of emails, calling Judge John Facciola “an expert in e-discovery.”

On Friday, in a hearing examining a lawsuit brought by True the Vote, Judge Reggie Walton gave the IRS until July 18 to find out what happened to the crashed hard drive responsible for erasing two years worth of Lerner’s emails. He also wants to know if the hard drive is traceable through a serial number.

If the information is gone, Walton said he wants an affidavit written under penalty of perjury by an IRS IT professional with “firsthand knowledge” of the situation, reports Politico.

The revelation adds to lawmakers’ concerns about the agency’s handling of documents related to their current inquiry into the agency’s alleged targeting of conservative tea-party groups for burdensome scrutiny as they sought tax-exempt status. Republicans already have criticized the IRS for losing about two years’ worth of emails that could be important to the probe, largely because a computer hard drive belonging to a former top IRS official, Lois Lerner, crashed in mid-2011. Backup tapes also were routinely reused after six months.

The latest emails suggest that IRS officials had a separate instant-messaging system that also wasn’t preserved. (source)

On Thursday, Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman filed a resolution demanding that the House use a little-exercised power to arrest Lerner.

From his press release:

“Asking the Justice Department to prosecute Lois Lerner for admittedly illegal activity is a joke. The Obama administration will not prosecute the Obama administration. How much longer will the House allow itself to be mocked? It is up to this House to uphold the rule of law and hold accountable those who illegally targeted American citizens for simply having different ideas than the President.

Democrats have openly stated the House has the powers to arrest those in contempt of Congress and imprison them in the Capitol. I don’t want to go as far as Democrats in exercising the House’s powers to arrest. Ms. Lerner will be held in the D.C. jail.

Under the resolution Lerner would be held in the D.C. jail and would have full legal rights and access to an attorney.

It’s time to for House to stop tacitly endorsing this administration’s illegal activity by refusing to hold him accountable. I expect Democrats to defend and even praise criminal activity. The question is whether Republican leadership will join them in mocking the House and breaking the law.”

IRS SCANDAL INCLUDES 9 DEMOCRATIC SENATORS

Obama Admin Wasn’t the only One behind the IRS Targeting of Tea Party Groups - Complaint Claims US Senators as Complicit

http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/06/obama-admin-wasnt-the-only-one-behind-the-irs-targeting-of-tea-party-groups-complaint-claims-us-senators-as-complicit/

Freedom Outpost - Tim Brown – 6/10/2014

On Monday the Center for Competitive Politics filed a complaint with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics against nine U.S. senators: for interfering with IRS tax proceedings; for misusing official resources for campaign purposes; and for improper conduct that reflects poorly upon the Senate. Attempting to use the IRS to advance a partisan, electoral agenda is a fundamental assault on good government. We believe these elected officials have staged such an assault.

The complaint documents how the senators improperly interfered with IRS adjudications to further their party's electoral prospects. They pressured the IRS to undertake income-tax investigations of specific organizations, to find that specific organizations were in violation of the law, to reach predetermined results pertaining to pending applications by individual organizations for nonprofit status, and to adopt specific regulatory interpretations and policies to further their campaign goals.

Understand that Democrats had attempted to silence their opposition through legislation. When that didn't work, they started interfering in another branch of government to get them to do their bidding. While they can question those agencies, they are definitely violating ethics by attempting to impose themselves in the middle of tax exemption status of American groups, be they conservative or liberal. But according to the complaint, they were not just imposing themselves, they were actually calling for investigations and seeking to prosecute conservative organizations.

In May, we reported that documents obtained by Judicial Watch through the Freedom of Information Act indicated that the White House was intimately involved in the IRS targeting. We also know that the former head of the IRS, Lois Lerner, knew of the targeting at least as far back as 2011, maybe even earlier, and that emails have suggested that Lerner and a Federal Election Commission attorney conspired to target conservative groups. Emails also reveal that the collusion even went on between Lerner and Eric Holder's Justice Department to jail the political opponents of Barack Obama. 

This isn't policy friends. This is criminal activity. It's tyranny.

IRS: CAN AMERICAN'S TRUST LEGISLATORS AND BUREAUCRATS?

IRS Politicization is inappropriate in a Democratic Republic

http://blog.heritage.org/2014/05/12/irs-politicization-inappropriate-democratic-republic/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=morningbell

Heritage – David Burton – 5/12/2014

As Table 9b of the 2013 IRS Databook shows, the typical audit rate for a median-income family is 0.6 percent. Thus, tea party donors whose names were disclosed to the IRS were subjected to an audit rate 17 times higher than other Americans.

As more and more people believe that the tax system is unfair and politically rigged, compliance will decline. More importantly, even the perception of the politicization of the IRS is endangering the confidence of the American people in the fairness and legitimacy of the federal government. It is entirely inappropriate to use the coercive apparatus of the state against political opponents. Neither the tax law nor any other law should be used to suppress peaceful political speech or political organizing.

The law, however, should be crystal clear that politically motivated IRS enforcement actions are subject to criminal sanctions no matter who requests or authorizes them. It is not. Congress should broaden section 7214 to cover IRS officials or employees who abuse their position, because politically motivated IRS enforcement action is equally inappropriate whether the official involved in instigating it works for the White House or the IRS.

FEDERAL RESERVE AND CURRENCY

Please watch the video to understand the system of currency (or money, as they call it) to understand how this country got into so much debt and so much slavery because of debt. 

The video linked below explains it easily and simply and in 30 minutes.

They use different terminology when explaining fractional-reserve banking and suggest that the 10% withheld from a deposit represents fractional-reserve banking (the 10% is sent to the FDIC to pay for deposit insurance and has nothing to do with fractional-reserve banking which has to do with credit, not deposits), but though fractional-reserve is the primary reason behind the creation of our currency (not money). 

This is an easy-to-understand video.  Please take the time to watch it at least once... and if you really want to understand it, take the time to watch it again. 

It's not that long and it will help you understand the Federal Reserve System.

They don't teach this stuff in school.

http://libertyroadmedia.wordpress.com/2013/10/17/our-debt-slavery-explained-please-watch/

If you're going to be angry at the Federal Reserve System and/or the United States Congress or the President, at least make the effort to find out why you're angry.  Find out why your deposit accounts in a bank make you an unsecured creditor of the bank, find out why it is impossible to stop the insane spending without destroying the entire banking system. The video is short and easy to watch.

IRS: AMERICANS ARE TIRED OF YOUR BILLION DOLLAR ERRORS

IRS doles out $11.6 billion in erroneous tax credit checks
http://watchdog.org/112104/irs-obamacare-tax/
Watchdog.org – M. D. Kittle – 10/23/2013

During the past decade, the IRS has handed out a minimum of $110 billion in improper EITC payments, and as much as $132 billion. That’s the value of at least 4 ½ federal government shutdowns.

“This is just further evidence of a federal government that is a very broken, very dysfunctional and very inefficient entity,” U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, told Watchdog.org.

The IRS offered several reasons for the improper payments, not the least of which is the “complexity” of the EITC tax law, “including the need for congressional authorization of math error authority,” according to the audit. Part of the problem, according to a TIGTA official, is that the IRS doesn’t have the authority to correct simple math errors on EITC forms without the benefit of an audit.

Other reasons include:

• Confusion among eligible claimants
• High turnover of eligible claimants
• Unscrupulous tax return preparers
• Downright fraud

Eagle Rising – Onan Coca – 10/11/2013

The House Oversight Committee has uncovered a series of emails between the White House and IRS Obamacare officials that show the White House was given confidential taxpayer information on groups suing the government.

Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code prohibits federal employees from “disclosing any return or return information obtained by him in any manner in connection with his service as such an officer or an employee.” Federal employees who illegally disclose confidential taxpayer information can face up to five years in prison for their actions.

The emails show that Sarah Hall Ingram, a top IRS Obamacare official, was in contact with White House officials and Lois Lerner discussing the IRS scandals.

Oversight committee chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) “has requested unredacted copies of the emails, citing a prohibition from misusing Section 6103 ‘for the purpose of concealing information from a congressional inquiry.’ Ingram headed the scandal-ridden IRS office responsible for overseeing tax-exempt nonprofit groups before leaving to head the agency’s office in charge of Obamacare implementation.”

Wall Street Journal – 9/11/2013

Emails undercut the official IRS story on political targeting

Congress’s investigation into the IRS targeting of conservatives has been continuing out of the Syria headlines, and it’s turning up news. Emails unearthed by the House Ways and Means Committee between former Director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner and her staff raise doubts about IRS claims that the targeting wasn’t politically motivated and that low-level employees in Cincinnati masterminded the operation.

In a February 2011 email, Ms. Lerner advised her staff—including then Exempt Organizations Technical Manager Michael Seto and then Rulings and Agreements director Holly Paz—that a Tea Party matter is “very dangerous,” and is something “Counsel and [Lerner adviser] Judy Kindell need to be in on.” Ms. Lerner adds, “Cincy should probably NOT have these cases.”

DID IRS SCANDAL ORIGINATE IN THE WHITE HOUSE?

When will Jeffrey Zients return from South Africa?

http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/23/when-will-jeffrey-zients-return-from-south-africa/

Daily Caller – Patrick Howley – 7/23/2013

Amid new revelations about the IRS targeting scandal, the Obama administration’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) said Tuesday that former OMB head Jeffrey Zients’ extended absence from the United States is due to a family vacation.

OMB’s former leader Jeffrey Zients met at the White House with key figures at the Internal Revenue Service just before news broke that the IRS was targeting conservative nonprofit groups for abusive audits and delays.

Zients has still not returned from an overseas trip that began after his departure from the Obama administration in April, two weeks before the IRS scandal broke.

As The Daily Caller reported, Zients met with then-IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman and Shulman’s political aide Jonathan Davis and spokesman Frank Keith at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building at the White House complex on April 24, 2012.

Only Zients, who was in charge of OMB at the time, and the three men from the IRS attended the meeting, according to White House visitor logs. Their appointment ended more than eight hours after it began, according to the logs.

The next day, April 25, the IRS’s chief counsel’s office — led by William Wilkins, who met with Obama at the White House that same week — sent Washington-based IRS officials “additional comments on the draft guidance.” These guidelines covered approving or denying tea party tax-exempt applications, according to a report on the IRS scandal compiled by Treasury Inspector General J. Russell George.

It remains unclear why Shulman’s political and press aides were present at the meeting.

After a Senate vote confirming his successor — Sylvia Mathews Burwell — Zients left his post at OMB on April 24, 2013.

Zients met with then-IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman and Shulman’s political aide Jonathan Davis and spokesman Frank Keith at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building at the White House complex on April 24, 2012.

Only Zients, who was in charge of OMB at the time, and the three men from the IRS attended the meeting, according to White House visitor logs. Their meeting ran for just under eight and a half hours into the night, the logs reveal.

The next day, April 25, the IRS’s chief counsel’s office — led by William Wilkins, who met with Obama at the White House that same week — sent Washington-based IRS officials “additional comments on the draft guidance.” These guidelines covered approving or denying tea party tax-exempt applications, according to a report on the IRS scandal compiled by Treasury Inspector General J.

WHY DOESN’T DOJ INVESTIGATE IRS LAWBREAKERS?

 Feds admit improper access to candidate and donor records

http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/07/feds-admit-improper-access-to-candidate-donor-records/

Freedom Outpost – Tim Brown – 7/16/2013

The Washington Times reports:

In a written response to a request by Mr. Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, Mr. George said a review turned up four cases since 2006 in which unidentified government officials took part in “unauthorized access or disclosure of tax records of political donors or candidates,” including one case he described as “willful.” In four additional cases, Mr. George said, allegations of improper access of IRS records were not substantiated by the evidence.

Mr. Grassley has asked Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to explain why the Justice Department chose not to prosecute any of the cases. The Iowa Republican told The Washington Times that the IRS “is required to act with neutrality and professionalism, not political bias.”

The investigation did not name the government officials who obtained the IRS records improperly, nor did it reveal the identities or political parties of the people whose tax records were compromised. By law, taxpayer records at the IRS are supposed to be confidential.

“Although this may not be indicative of wide spread targeting, any instance is cause for concern,” Mr. Grassley wrote. “Even more alarming, in at least one instance TIGTA referred evidence of ‘willful unauthorized access’ to the United States Attorney’s Office, but criminal prosecution was declined. Decisions such as these directly impact the political process and should be subject to the scrutiny of the American public.”

LERNER RULE PROPOSED

GOP Lawmaker proposes Lerner rule

The Hill – Pete Kasperowica – 6/21/2013

"This is a statement which should not be made by federally appointed officials before a congressional hearing if they are faithfully carrying out the duties of their office," Brooks told The Hill on Friday of Lerner's decision to plead the Fifth.

"That is why I am introducing H.R. 2458, which would terminate the employment of any federal employee who refuses to answer questions before a congressional hearing or lies before a congressional hearing," he said. "This legislation is constitutional and necessary to enable Congress to provide proper oversight for the American people."

Brooks's bill says simply, "Any federal employee who refuses to answer questions in a congressional hearing after being granted immunity shall be terminated from employment."

IRS INCOMPETENCY IS AN OUTRAGE

IRS sent $46 million in tax refunds to 23,994 ‘unauthorized’ aliens – all at the same address in Atlanta

The blaze – Jason Howerton - 6/21/2013

The IRS sent 11,284 refunds worth a combined $2,164,976 to unauthorized alien workers at a second Atlanta address; 3,608 worth $2,691,448 to a third; and 2,386 worth $1,232,943 to a fourth.

Other locations on the IG’s Top Ten list for singular addresses that were theoretically used simultaneously by thousands of unauthorized alien workers, included an address in

Oxnard, Calif, where the IRS sent 2,507 refunds worth $10,395,874;

an address in Raleigh, North Carolina, where the IRS sent 2,408 refunds worth $7,284,212;

an address in Phoenix, Ariz., where the IRS sent 2,047 refunds worth $5,558,608;

an address in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., where the IRS sent 1,972 refunds worth $2,256,302;

an address in San Jose, Calif., where the IRS sent 1,942 refunds worth $5,091,027;

and an address in Arvin, Calif., where the IRS sent 1,846 refunds worth $3,298,877.

Washington has apparently been aware of the problem for the better part of a decade.

“The IRS has long known it was giving these numbers to illegal aliens, and thus facilitating their ability to work illegally in the United States. For example, the Treasury Inspector General’s Semiannual Report to Congress published on Oct. 29, 1999—nearly fourteen years ago—specifically drew attention to this problem,” CNSNews.com explains.

Here’s what that nearly 14-year-old report warned: “The IRS issues Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to undocumented aliens to improve nonresident alien compliance with tax laws. This IRS practice seems counter-productive to the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s (INS) mission to identify undocumented aliens and prevent unlawful alien entry.”

Yet, according to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, the IRS assigned 15,028 unauthorized aliens ITINs at the same address in Dallas, Texas, and 10,356 ITINs at the same address in Atlantic City, N.J.

GOVERNMENT FEARS FREEDOM SO IT USES IRS INTIMIDATION

What to do now if you’re a conservative and get audited by the IRS

http://godfatherpolitics.com/10856/what-to-do-now-if-youre-a-conservative-and-get-audited-by-the-irs/

Godfather Politics - Gary DeMar – 5/16/2013

If you do get a letter from the IRS requesting an audit, be professional and non-threatening in your response, but ask for factual data that gives evidence of probable cause and cite the current criminal activity of the inner workings of the IRS as a reason for your skepticism of the agency's objectivity.

The actions by the IRS concerning conservative groups are criminal.

Ludwig von Mises captures for us the insidious nature of the bureaucratic State:

“The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau. What an alluring utopia! What a noble cause to fight!”

The goal is the perpetuation of the bureaucratic State. Administrations come and go, but bureaucrats go on forever.

In 1926, H. L. Mencken wrote that the State “has taken on a vast mass of new duties and responsibilities; it has spread out its powers until they penetrate to every act of the citizen, however secret; it has begun to throw around its operations the high dignity and impeccability of a State religion; its agents become a separate and superior caste, with authority to bind and loose, and their thumbs in every pot. But it still remains, as it was in the beginning, the common enemy of all well-disposed, industrious and decent men.”

IRS TEA PARTY APPLICATIONS SENT TO D.C. "LEGAL EXPERTS"

IRS supervisor admits personally handling dozens of tea party cases

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/06/16/IRS-Supervisor-in-DC-Obama-Donor-Reviewed-Tea-Party-Applications

Breitbart – Tony Lee – 6/16/2013

An IRS supervisor who oversaw over 200 agents in the Cincinnati office admitted that she personally reviewed applications from conservative and Tea Party groups for tax-exempt status. Her statements contradict assertions by other IRS officials that "rogue" agents were solely responsible for the targeting. 

The Associated Press reports that Holly Paz "a top deputy in the division that handles applications for tax-exempt status," told congressional investigators that she personally reviewed "20 to 30 applications."

Paz is a registered Democrat who donated $4,000 to the Obama campaign in 2008 and is currently on administrative leave, according to her lawyer. 

Paz seems to have confirmed Hofacre's objections, telling investigators that "Tea Party" applications were forwarded to her from Cincinnati, and she then sent those applications to legal experts in D.C. She also admitted "dozens of tea party applications sat untouched for more than a year while field agents waited for guidance from Washington on how to handle them."

IRS data showed "dozens of liberal groups received tax-exempt approval in the 27 months that Tea Party groups sat in limbo, even though the liberal groups were engaging in similar kids of activity."

WHITE HOUSE PHONE LOGS TO IRS

Rep. Stockman requests NSA logs for phone traffic between White House, IRS

http://www.humanevents.com/2013/06/14/rep-stockman-requests-nsa-logs-for-phone-traffic-between-white-house-irs/

Human Events – John Hayward – 6/14/2013

Administration apologists state that we shouldn’t have anything to fear from enhanced phone and online surveillance, if we have nothing to hide.  (The authors of the Fourth Amendment certainly didn’t feel that way, did they?)  Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) brilliantly turned this line of thinking against the White House, by asking the House Oversight committee to subpoena the National Security Agency’s phone call metadata for communication between the White House and IRS:

Stockman’s office hand delivered a letter Tuesday afternoon to the Committee’s office.

Here is the full text of Stockman’s letter to House Oversight chair Darrell Issa (R-CA):

Thank you for your ongoing efforts to investigate abuses of civil liberties by employees of the Internal Revenue Service.

These abuses seem to indicate a larger, higher pattern of ideologically-driven harassment of Americans which Congress has an obligation to fully investigate with every tool at our disposal.

Frankly I am disappointed by revelations Obama administration personnel have been less than forward about what they knew and when they knew it.

As you know, recent revelations show the National Security Agency has been keeping an “ongoing, daily” log of every domestic phone call in the United States.

I respectfully request your Committee subpoena the records of every phone call made from all public and private telephones of all IRS personnel to all public and private telephones of all White House personnel.

If President Obama is collecting such information, he certainly would want us to use it.  If he has nothing to hide he has nothing to be afraid of.

READER COMMENT:  "Terrance Brown, 40, is on trial in South Florida for allegedly conspiring with four other men to hijack armored trucks delivering cash to banks in 2010. All have pleaded not guilty. But now Brown has come up with a unique defense: he wants the National Security Agency to turn over his phone records to the court to demonstrate his innocence."

READER COMMENT:  Was the data collected by NSA used by the Obama 2012 Campaign to pinpoint and target the electorate?
