Is Shutting Down The IRS A Bad Idea Or One Whose Time Has Come? Maybe John Koskinen Can Find Another Occupation Rather Than Chief IRS Liar.

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. DO YOU SUPPORT BEING EXTORTED? 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.

Commissioner threatens temporary IRS shutdown

Posted on December 18, 2014 by Personal Liberty News Desk

It’s hard to tell whether IRS commissioner John Koskinen has a realistic grasp of the way the agency he leads is perceived by more than half the Congress, as well as an unknowable number of American citizens. But he apparently believes casting the agency’s financial troubles in a pitiful light makes for a sympathy-generating tactic.

Koskinen responded to Congress’ recent $346 million IRS budget cut Thursday by indicating the agency could impose a temporary shutdown on itself to save on personnel costs, furloughing employees in order to save an estimated $29 million per day.

“There isn’t any more give in the system. You make any further cuts in this organization and the wheels are going to start falling off,” Koskinen told the press Thursday.

“At some point, we’re going to set a new American record for the number of years in a row we get a budget cut.” Koskinen stressed that furloughs, which would halt all agency activity on a day-by-day basis, aren’t being planned — but that they couldn’t be ruled out.

He also took the opportunity to credit the budget reduction for potentially delaying the timely processing of Americans’ tax returns for 2014.

“Everybody’s return will get processed. But people have gotten very used to being able to file their return and quickly get a refund. This year we may not have the resources,” he said.

The IRS will operate on a $10.9 billion budget for the coming fiscal year. The largest annual budget the agency has ever received came in 2010, when it was allocated $12.15 billion.
