If Only The IRS’ Threat To “Shut Down” Was A Promise


The Internal Revenue Service has warned that it may have to shut down….but is it time to celebrate?

By Jeff Berwick @ The Dollar Vigilante

In the recent $1.1 trillion spending bill monstrosity, Congress cut the IRS budget by $346 million to $10.9 billion.

Chief Extortion Officer of the IRS, John Koskinen, said a shutdown would mean the IRS would “close the agency for a day, two days, whatever days it would take to close the gap that we can’t otherwise close in a reasonable way.”

He went on to say that the agency estimates each closed day would save $29 million.

If closing it for a day saves $29 million then why not close it for 365 days of the year.  That’d be a savings of $10.5 billion!  And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.  If the IRS were to close completely it would mean that Americans would have an extra $2.9 trillion in their pockets… or about $9,000 per person… or $36,000 per family of four of extra cash.

Now that would stimulate the economy!

But, the indoctrinated tax slaves say, without income tax who would pay for the Department of Offense to attack, occupy and terrorize countless countries on Earth?  And start World War III with Russia?

Or who would pay for Homeland InSecurity to molest, grope and assault people around the country?

Or the NSA to spy on every American citizen in a way that East Germany could only dream of?

Or who would pay for the Department of Injustice to kidnap and put millions of people into rape camps mostly for victimless crimes?

Or who would pay for the Department of Miseducation to indoctrinate children and dumb them down?

Or who would pay for the more than 100,000 employees and contractors for the Department of Energy to…. what do they do, anyway?  They don’t actually produce energy.

Or who would pay for the Congress, with a single digit approval rating, to create more regulations to stifle the economy?

Or who would pay for the White House to have secret kill lists?

Or the CIA to smuggle all the opium from Afghanistan?

… or to infiltrate the Cuban hip hop scene to create youth unrest?

Or what about Socialist Insecurity or Medicare and Medicaid?  Well, sorry, if you bought into a communist style ponzi scheme and actually counted on it then its your fault… silly commie.


If you happily pay taxes then you are what we call a happy slave.  Like Mark Cuban.

If you unhappily pay taxes to the world’s largest criminal and terrorist organization in the history of the world then you are still a slave but a fearful one who fears being kidnapped and put in a cage if you don’t. If that’s how you feel then how could you possibly believe you are free or that you live in the “land of the free”?

And if you know you aren’t free then why aren’t you doing something about it?

After all, it was once said, all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
