#1 That picture... there's something very wrong with that picture.

#2 Americans for a great part, actively and voluntarily comply with the convoluted and complicated tax laws because they hold law to be dear. However, this is just another crack in the legitimacy that such voluntary compliance is predicated upon. De-legitimize the government and tax compliance becomes a sport as its done in Europe. The usual response is more draconian tax collecting methods matched by more creative tax avoidance, to include even greater corruption in the system as those 'with' seek to keep what they have. It's just another natural aspect of the environment known as Socialism.

#3 If the IRS not only conducted improper investigations based on politics, but passed private, financial information to third parties [as is now being alleged].... the noxious, fouling discharge will soon be hitting the electrically powered rotating oscillator.

Graphic - No, I still wouldn't have voted for the REDACTED.

Excepting the rare example, like Julian the Apostate. Ordered to increase the tax income from Gaul, he found the region on the edge of a tax revolt -- rates too high, corruption everywhere. So he lowered the rates and increased the penalties for offering and accepting bribes.

What a pity about his campaign against the Persians.

#5 KMOV anchor: The IRS is targeting me
Larry Connors, a veteran local news anchor at KMOV Channel 4 in St. Louis, says that the Internal Revenue Service has been targeting him since an April 2012 interview he conducted with President Obama -- a fact that he dismissed as coincidence until the recent reports about the IRS targeting conservative groups.

#6 I know the picture is supposed to be Bambi morphing into Nixon (I've see the moving one), but for the life of me I can't tell which side is Bambi and which is Nixon.

#7 Nixon is the side which could at least get a good score bowling.

#8 the Nixon side doesn't draw flies

#9 The Nixon side would resign.

#10 ..that was because the Trunks of the time still had a modicum of integrity and were willing to go along with the Donks to vote for impeachment. Nixon didn't want to become the second president to face a Congress intent on impeachment for his legacy. The Donks have no such integrity. As amply demonstrated by them, its all about power.
