From Argus Hamilton:

President Obama praised Nelson Mandela in South Africa Sunday. Proper decorum was maintained. President Obama refers to Nelson Mandela by his tribal name Madibah, while South Africans call President Obama by his rap star name, Biggie Deficits.

 

The New England Patriots halted sales of Aaron Hernandez jerseys Monday after his murder charge. His crimes against the state didn’t stop at homicide. For months he was under investigation by the IRS for being involved in a organization called The Patriots.

 

From Fred Thompson:

Nancy Pelosi said people should celebrate Obamacare this July 4th. Right. Is there even a rocket big enough to lift all 20,000 pages of regulations?

From Drudge:

FBI Still Hasn’t Contacted IRS-Targeted Tea Party Groups About Investigation –  And they never will as long as arch-criminal Eric Holder is in power at Justice.


Lois Lerner’s price for testimony: Immunity –  As expected, none of the IRS criminals will be punished for their crimes.

From Fred Thompson:

In a recent speech, Republican Senator Ted Cruz said that regulations from overzealous federal agencies are hampering the economy’s growth. That’s the government for ya. They put square wheels on the cart and wonder why the horse is so tired.

 

To get people to show their support for Obamacare, a liberal group is offering people a free bumper sticker. Or as they call it off the record: “audit insurance”.

 

A new poll shows that 70% of Americans hate their job. It also showed that 7.6% of Americans wish they had a job to hate.

From Jay Leno:

President Obama is currently on a week-long trip to Africa, where he will promote freedom, democracy, and economic opportunity. I guess he figured it hasn’t worked here — so try it somewhere else.

 

The Girl Scouts announced that their pension plan has a $347 million deficit. The Girl Scouts are $347 million in debt so in addition to teaching girls about camping it also is preparing them for careers in government.

 
 

The White House science advisor said a War on Coal is what’s needed to fight carbon pollution. Miners should rejoice. If the War on Coal goes as well as the War on Drugs, every no-smoking section in he country will make an exception for coal-powered laptops.

 

President Obama warned of climate change Tuesday and called for wind and solar to replace coal and oil as America’s energy sources. He needs new consultants. People voted for the president to get free health care, they’re not about to give up air conditioning.

 

Mexico theme park Parque EcoAlberto opened a twenty-minute attraction that takes people through a fake U.S. border crossing. It’s complete with wolves, fences, and angry shouts from U.S. border agents. It’s so lifelike. If you get all the way through it, they give you a three thousand dollar refund for your child tax credit and an EBT card for lunch.

 

Hillary Clinton’s image appeared on buttons, hats and shirts for sale Tuesday as her campaign got underway. Hollywood’s making a movie about her life in DC right after college. The casting directors are interviewing sacks of cash to play the role of her first love.

Fraudulent refunds paid by IRS

Posted by taxguru on June 29, 2013

Snopes.com has this story about how scammers have been able to easily steal millions of dollars in bogus refunds form IRS. 

Snoes doesn’t connect the dots that IRS was too busy harassing opponents of the BHO Regime to monitor these kinds of frauds, but I will.

More on IRS Scandals

Posted by taxguru on June 29, 2013

As our short attention span mainstream media move on to other stories, here’s an assortment of recent articles on the IRS misdeeds, which are still just as wrong as they ever were.

 

House panel finds IRS official waived Fifth Amendment right, can be forced to testify in targeting probe –  Bad news for admitted criminal Lois Lerner; good news for the American people.

 

Lois Lerner’s plan: fight on –  She knows that BHO will have no problem granting her a pardon for her crimes that were committed in pursuit of promoting his agenda.

 

Republican-led House panel challenges IRS worker who took Fifth Amendment –  Lois Lerner

 

GOP congressman crumples redacted IRS report during hearing –  At least there are a few GOP politicians willing to go to battle with IRS and have their personal tax returns audited.

 

Grassley: IRS to pay $70M in employee bonuses despite spending cuts –  They have their own set of priorities.

 

Obama’s Climate of Intimidation –  Nobody dares speak up against our Kenyan King without risking everything they have.

 

IRS supervisor in D.C. admits to overseeing tea party targeting –  We can dispense with the fabrication that this was all run from Cincinnati.

 

Twelve different IRS units nationwide targeted conservatives –  Plus dozens of other Regime departments.  This was very coordinated and not in any way accidental.

 

The IRS Immigration Fraud Scandal –  IRS is too busy harassing US citizens to catch foreigners stealing billions in illegal tax refunds.

 

Why the IRS Scandal Needs a Special Prosecutor –  But the BHO Regime has done such an excellent job of investigating and reporting on itself.  Why would we possibly need an unrelated outside party to look at these matters?  With that logic, why do we need independent CPAs to audit company books?  Think of all the money that could be saved if everyone just audited themselves like the BHO Regime does.

 

IG: IRS credit cards used for wine, pornography –  More examples of IRS priorities for the use of taxpayer money.

 

Probe: IRS contractor won up to $500 million in questionable bids –  It’s just the age-old philosophy that governs DC, “It’s not what you know that counts; it’s who you know and who you bribe.”

 

Cover the IRS, Don’t Cover for It –  Peggy Noonan looks at the media lackeys who are trying to cover up the IRS scandals, as they have been doing for all of the other BHO Regime crimes.

Lucky Dube’s TaxMan song

Posted by taxguru on June 27, 2013

For ages, I have been collecting and posting different version’s of George Harrison’s classic and timeless TaxMan song.  During a CPE webinar today, one of the polling questions asked which musical artist hadn’t recorded a song called TaxMan; Elvis Presley, Lucky Dube or The Beatles. The answer was Elvis. 

The presenter explained that he had come across a song by South African reggae artist Lucky Dube.  This was news to me; so I searched YouTube and found a number of recordings of Lucky Dube performing this song. One of them even includes the lyrics. 

TAXMAN
(Composed by Lucky Dube)

I pay my gardener
To clean up my garden
I pay my doctor
To check out da other ting
I pay my lawyer
To fight for my rights
And I pay my body guard
To guard my body
There’s only one man I pay
But I don’t know what I’m paying for
I’m talking about the taxman x3

CHORUS

What have you done for me lately
Mr Taxman x4

You take from the rich
Take from the poor
You even take from me
Can’t understand it now
I pay for the police
To err…I don’t know why
‘Cause if my dollar was good enough
There wouldn’t be so much crime
In the Streets
They tell me you’re a fat man
And you always take and
Never give

CHORUS

What have you done for me lately
Mr Taxman

Till fade

  

 

I had never heard of Lucky Dube before now and was bummed out to read in this Wikipedia article, that he was killed by carjackers in 2007 in South Africa at the age of only 43.  As you can hear in these examples, he sounds a lot like Bob Marley, another reggae artist who died much too young, at 36.
