The problem lies in the corruption prone political origins of appointments of judges and the uncontrolled application of administrative law. The IRS is not the only strong-arm in the bunch. Recent activities exercising superiority by the EPA and the BATF have demonstrated that they have equally long noses.

The public is populated by and large with lazy, legal schlemiels. The primary Rule of Law is simply, that THE LAW is the percept of the highest authority presiding over a legal event – the notorious Georgia Justice Courts come to mind. If convicted, justice might be possible by a lengthy, expensive excursion through the hierarchy of inferior courts.

My country, ’tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I …..

Sorry, I just love Rock and Rill!

The IRS couldn’t prosecute and imprison millions of citizens — although I’m sure they would try with some high-profile cases in order to scare the rest into submission. But if the patriots held strong, withdrawing all their bank accounts and simply refusing to pay the unlawful taxes, then the government gravy train would have to grind to a halt.

Short of armed revolution, this is the only solution I can think of to combat the criminal tyranny we are experiencing.

It is the tax law of windfall returns by which everyone is made a de facto criminal by the prolixly absurd tax codes/regulations – absent a country of freemen.

The American people have demanded a government to run their education, retirement systems, medical care, tell them what to eat-drink-smoke, gather data on our private lives, fondle us when we travel.

Even worse, the Congress runs up a deficit, the Federal Reserve taxes us via inflation, and the Congress installs back-door intrusive legislation via “tax policy” like telling us how to spend or save our own money (e.g. IRA’s, Roth IRA’s, mortgage deductions, window tax credits, Health Savings Accounts, etc….).

Land of the “FREE” !!??? – relative to Balarus perhaps – but not in absolute terms whatsoever.
