The Latest IRS Power Grab

The left wants the disclosure of private information about conservative donors.
President Obama's exhortation to his supporters in September 2008 to "get in the face" of his political opposition has been taken literally. Media Matters, the left-wing outfit that specializes in ad hominem attacks on conservatives, has bragged in fundraising appeals that it will use compulsory donor disclosure to harass donors who contribute to conservative candidates and causes.
To anyone concerned about public confidence in nonpartisan tax collection and preventing future IRS scandals, the solution is not more tax rules. It is for the IRS to get out of the business of regulating politics.
I'm having my own problems with the IRS keeping a refund from last year that they admit they owe me but refuse to pay me -- and I can't reimburse the folks who loaned me the money to fix the front of my house until they do. The mulishness and studied, admitted incompetence of the IRS in my case is increasingly looking political.

Simple solution for future use, Mike.
Never EVER allow the government to "hold" with-holding money in the first place. If your wife is the primary breadwinner, have her employer adjust her 'dependent' with-holding number to the maximum of 8 or 9. This is perfectly legal as long as you file correctly at tax time. Set things up so that you owe them and not vice versa. Also, Obamacare cannot 'fine' you for no insurance if there isn't any 'with-holding' to take it from. It's right there in the law. The fine cannot be taken in any other way, i.e., garnishment of wages, bank accounts, etc.

Some folks just can't read the tea leaves.

After the IRS turns the information over to the Thugs from SEIU and ACORN then you can expect a visit from the children of Marx. I submit that it will not belong before the Reichstag moment plays out. People are going to get to the point that they have had enough and have nothing else to lose. They then become the most dangerous people on earth. With 6 or 8 million feeling that way you can foresee what happens after that. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be known as a leftist supporter of Bath House Barry when that happens. I am starting to believe the shit will start to fly before the weather warms. We should be preparing for winter operations.

Head over to "American Thinker" and read what happened to someone who dared to go on FOX and complain about OCare. IRS is all over them.
