Default Government On The Take

From Channel 7 News — Detroit 25 September 2013:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tarik Dehko says he is proud to have managed the family business for 35 years, but it got tough 8 months ago when IRS agents walked in the store. “They told me, ‘We took money from your account.’ I said, ‘How you going to just take money from my account?” said Dehko. They emptied the businesses bank account, taking more than $36,000. ...He now has teamed up with the Institute for Justice to fight to get his cash back. It helped him file suit today against the IRS and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. ...“We are in a Democratic Country,” said Dehkho. “If we did something wrong, show me what I did.”

No, Mr. Dehkho, we live in a representative republic. Damn I wish people would get that right.

The IRS can do whatever they want and most of the time with impunity. Even if you win in court there is no guarantee that you will get your money back. This is why the IRS scandal should be a wake up call to the country and Congress that it is time to do away with the IRS and finally simplify the tax code. Either a flat tax, or a consumption tax, period.

I guess we can just allow the monkeys to keep crapping on the floor. After they are gone, we clean up, lock the door so they cannot come back in, and continue living as Americans again.
