Face it, IRS taxpayer abuse is only one nasty manifestation of the statist
elitism that thrives in Washington, D.C. All these so-called experts see
government as the moral embodiment of the collective good. They always know
better that we do. Give them the power and the money--our taxes--and they'll
tell us just what we must do; liberty and freedom be damned.
Everywhere you turn you can see this statist attitude. In 1960 the
government spent about 30% of gross national income. By 1980 that percentage
jumped to 42.5%. After more than a decade of supposed deregulation, reform and
privatization, government now takes 45% of our national wealth. Don't you
believe for a second that big government is dead.
You bet the IRS has gotten out of hand. It's because their hands are so deep
in our pocketbooks that everyone notices and protests.
To top this off I received two different letters from Congressman Phil Crane
and The American Conservative Union. The first letter had the headlines in bold
print; "CAMPAIGN TO ABOLISH THE IRS." Attached to the letter was a
petition they wanted me to sign. It read, "ABOLISH THE IRS CONGRESSIONAL
PETITION."
Dear Member of Congress,
I strongly urge you to either abolish the IRS or radically reform it and
reduce its power, its reach and control over U.S. taxpayers.
It's an outrage that our government forces us to spend hundreds of hours
keeping financial records, studying tax rules and filling our tax forms.
Millions of people spend thousand of dollars on tax accountants and lawyers to
protect themselves from their own government.
It's time to do away with the IRS and its 115,000 employees, its 7 ½ Billion
dollar budget, and its 4,000 pages of complicated, outrageous rules and
regulations. I urge you to become active in the effort to completely overhaul
our tax system by making taxes fairer, simpler and lower--and effectively
abolishing or dismantling the IRS. The American Conservative Union will keep me
advised on your progress. [Both letters also asked for a donation.]
I didn't need to read any of these articles or have some Congressman or
Senator tell me how abusive the IRS is. I knew that from first hand experience!
The reason the IRS was auditing me in the first place was nothing less than a
political favor meant to punish me for continuing to fight back against the
local government.
For example, when I first went to Dennis Strong’s office and was given a
copy of the check Art had forged and stolen, then told that Art had lied to me
about the Perrysburg and the Rossford Landfill cases being in the Court of
Appeals, I didn't ask, "How much money can I sue him for?" But said,
"Let’s call the son of a bitch and find out why he did it." Then
after I heard Art admit over the phone that this information was correct and
had him offer to pay me $41,166.90 to forget everything, I immediately refused
to accept his money because it wasn't Art or his money that I wanted. I wanted
the people that bribed or paid him to do this, and believe me they knew that.
Don't think for a moment that Art didn't call and make it clear to his
political confidants that I had offered to let him walk away from this clean if
he'd give them up and testify as to who paid him or what they were holding over
his head to make him do this and why. I guarantee you, at this point the
Political Good Old Boys Network knew that they had to finish me off, for once
and for all, in order to protect themselves.
That's the entire reason for the IRS auditing me, the Political Good Old
Boys Network needed someone who could financially finish me off and keep me in
that condition for years to come. Who better than the IRS to do that? This way
they could make sure that I would never have the necessary resources to be able
to fight back or ever get to them. As far as Art James was concerned, they'd
just make sure that their friends in the prosecutor’s office wouldn't prosecute
Art. And if I decided to sue Art, they'd make sure to appoint one of their
political cronies to ensure that I'd lose that case too.
Now even though I knew why the IRS was doing this to me, I wasn't afraid of
them auditing me. I hadn't done anything wrong so as far as I was concerned,
let them audit away. They weren't going to find anything, so what could they
possibly do to me?
Unfortunately I never knew that when you dealt with the extortionists from
the IRS you didn't have to do anything wrong for them to be able to crucify you
for life. Even though I'd heard horror stories about the IRS and how they
destroy innocent people’s lives, for some reason I thought that they were just
that, stories. Wow, was I ever wrong. The IRS isn't only the law. These psycho
bastards are above the law.
To start with, when the IRS decides to audit you they don 't even have to
give you a reason why, they just do it regardless of what you say. And if you
try to stop them, they'll use force. If you’re brave enough to stand up to them
and question them they become the more abusive and crazy.
When the IRS agent first came into my office and poured through my records
he refused to answer any of my questions. He told me that he was there to ask
the questions not answer them. Now who does the IRS think they are, God? I
think that if you’re charged with a crime or if you’re questioned about a
crime, you will at least be told why and have your questions answered. Hell, as
crooked as Rossford was, they at least told me what they were setting me up
for. But the IRS? They don't have to tell you squat.
Then the IRS agent went back to IRS central and some IRS employees decided
that I was guilty without ever hearing my side of the story. As far as I'm
concerned, that's the same as having a policeman come to your house and
question you about something without explaining why, then going back to the
police station and deciding with other police officers that you’re guilty and they
will decide your punishment. Then to top that off, the police then get to
execute you. What the hell kind of system is that?
Now I don't mean to single out the police, but imagine for a moment being
stopped by the police and accidentally saying something they didn't like, or
that they didn't like the way you looked, and they were able to decide the
charge and the punishment. You wouldn't be able to build enough jails.
When my C.P.A. and I notified the IRS on numerous occasions in writing that
I disagreed with their assessment that some of my subcontractors were employees
and that I wanted an appeal, they told me NO. What Constitutional law could
possibly give the IRS psychos the right to accuse me, find me guilty and
execute me without giving me a chance to answer my accusers in front of someone
neutral? At least Rossford, Perrysburg and Toledo had to hold their rigged and
crooked trials. But not the IRS. By some freak law, the IRS is allowed to
accuse and execute you--no trial necessary.
