Chances of getting audited by IRS lowest in years –  The overall percentage of audits was dropped quite easily by only targeting the vocal critics of the DemonRats.  Publicizing this fact helps silence others who may dare refuse to drink the Left’s Kool-Aid.

Obama & Biden Tax Returns

Posted by taxguru on April 12, 2014

They have posted copies of the 2013 tax returns for the Obamas and Bidens on the White House website.

Here are the download links for the pdf files.

Obama: IRS + Illinois – 42 pages 

Biden: IRS + Delaware + Virginia – 35 pages 

I took a quick glance through the returns. 
Obama had to pay $1,753 for the new ObamaCare tax on investments (Form 8959). 
Biden only had to pay $230 for this new tax.  Biden received $30,552 of Social Security benefits last year, as he entertained the country with his crazy antics.

Frivolous Tax Arguments

Posted by taxguru on April 11, 2014

It used to be official IRS policy to ignore people who made ridiculous claims about taxes being voluntary.  However, they finally realized that their silence on the subject just fed into the hands of the promoters of such tax scams who used that as a sign that what they were saying must have been true. 

As announced in this press release, IRS has just updated their guide to many of these tax scams, The Truth About Frivolous Tax Arguments, which can be seen on their website and downloaded as a 62 page pdf.

I had an interesting email conversation with a tax protestor a few months who was spouting some of these idiotic reasons why nobody has to file a tax return.  After I finish the rest of our April 15 extensions, I will post it here on my blog.

From Fred Thompson:

Obama warned Russia to leave Ukraine alone or he would act to take a “toll on the Russian economy”. Watch out guys. Ruining an economy is something he knows something about.

 

A new UN report claims that climate change will wipe trillions of dollars from the global economy. No wonder Democrats want to stop it – it’s stealing their thunder.

It’s a bit far fetched to expect the DC wimps in the GOP to actually bring criminal charges against anyone in the BHO Regime.  However, Lois Lerner is white, so she doesn’t have the same kind of immunity from criticism that BHO himself has.

Who do you trust?

Posted by taxguru on April 3, 2014

This recent poll about who people trust the most with their personal info ignores a few very key issues. 

SHOCK POLL: Americans Trust IRS, NSA More than Facebook

It’s easy to say the people polled are idiots for trusting the IRS and NSA more than FaceBook with their personal data.  That would be too much of a knee-jerk reaction; because there actually are plenty of people in the private sector who are scammers and should never be trusted.  Ponzi master Bernie Madoff and stock swindler Jordan Belfort from the recent movie The Wolf of Wall Street, come to mind.  I have never trusted MySpace or FaceBook because I have always suspected ulterior motives for their use of private user data; so I choose not to use most social media sites and services.

That is the big difference here.  With social media sites and services, users voluntarily establish a relationship and voluntarily provide their personal data. With government agencies, such as IRS and NSA, our relationships with them are anything but voluntary.  We are forced to provide more and more of our personal info to them every day.  Some of it we know they are taking, while other data is taken by surreptitious methods (aka Spying). 

The other difference is what the different entities are able to do to people. Scammers like Madoff and Belfort were able to steal money from gullible greedy investors who should have had enough common sense to stay away; but instead voluntarily gave the crooks their money.  FaceBook and other social media sites can sell users data to other companies to solicit them for voluntary purchases.  None of these “voluntary” entities has the power to seize its users’ assets or to throw them into prison. 

That’s what the governmental agencies can and will do if they want to.

So, the question shouldn’t be who is more trustworthy with our personal data, but who can do the most devastating damage to us with it?
