Middle-Class Tax Burden Shrinking?

U.S. judge in Vegas extends temporary ban on no-income tax book – Anti-tax scammer Irwin Schiff loses another round.

As my critics constantly remind us, we should all feel so patriotic about sending as much of our money as possible to our rulers in DC because only they know how to spend it properly. We little people are just too stupid to spend our own money to do the most good.

IRS Horror Stories On TV

I just noticed, while reviewing today’s TV listings, that A&E will be broadcasting an hour long show called IRS Horror Stories at 11pm EDT tonight (check your local listings for your time zone).  I have not seen this show, but will be checking it out.  Here is the show’s description:

  An eye-opening probe into how the Internal Revenue Service, in its blind desire to collect taxes, has destroyed lives, ruined businesses, and damaged careers. In their first TV interviews, IRS employees describe how the agency has terrorized taxpayers, and how its managers continue to resist positive reform.  TV PG

Hopefully, this show will provide the truth to counterbalance the pervasive propaganda claiming that IRS has been so hamstrung by rules and budget problems that it is incapable of enforcing the tax laws.
