"I can't takes it no more..."
"Slip" Mahoney
The Bowery Boys
In the past few weeks, we have heard it all. The responses by the citizenry has ranged from OMG to WTF and back again. Our leaders, true followers of Trotsky, Alinsky as well as the dynamic duo of Cloward and Piven , have really done it this time. We are now in the middle of "scandal-pallozza" and the hits just keep on coming. Oh, if only Mitt had won the last election and created these scandals. Impeachment would have been out the window, only to be replaced with tar and feathering (or worse).
There are so many serious issues going on, it is hard to know where to start. I have been hearing pundits talk about these for weeks now, trying to make sense out of the ramifications of each of them. My gut feeling is this - they are all very serious. Each of them, starting with voter intimidation in 2008, to Fast and Furious, to Benghazi, to AP, to James Rosen, to (it just keeps going), are all serious.
However, the one which will break the camel's back is the IRS issue. I have thought about this long and hard. This is an issue which crosses party lines. This is an issue about an agency of the United States Government which has become an evil juggernaut. This is an issue where we crossed line which protects our liberty from tyranny. Every year we open our financial kimono to an agency which is suppose to treat us with the same fiduciary care as an accountant does with a client.
What we have learned about this agency, the one which most people fear is this - it has become vile and corrupt. It has become worse than corrupt - it has become political. What the IRS has done is beyond comprehension. How the IRS senior management behaved in front of Congress is beyond arrogant. How the IRS treats the citizens of this country (who pay their salary) is beyond belief.
This organization needs to be defunded, reorganized and realigned. Right now it is a cancer in our government. The President should be OUTRAGED this ever happened - however, he is not. He thinks with minor punishments and some "tweaking", it can be fixed. Our tax code has become a mess - it needs to be scrapped and replaced with a very simple and fair flat tax. We don't need legions working in this agency. We don't want this agency taking care of our new health care law. From the man who promised us "Hope and Change", we need to demand change in the IRS - not just little change, but wholesale change.
If these other scandals end up being "swept under the rug", we need this one to stick. We need to tell the "powers that be" that enough is enough. We need to let them know that this one is the straw that broke the camels back.
