Taxes, Tax Code, Internal Revenue Service
Tax Day
By Alan Caruba Wednesday, April 15, 2009

Growing up as the son of a Certified Public Accountant and, later, as the
brother of a CPA, the talk around the dinner table was frequently about
taxes and the Internal Revenue Service. Being quite young at the time, the
minutia of the discussion escaped me, but I came away with a strong sense
of
how the IRS could wreak havoc in the lives and enterprises of clients who
had run afoul of its impenetrable regulations.

These days the Tax Code of the United States is so huge and being added to
on a daily basis that it is impossible for anyone to understand, but one
need only understand that those like the current Secretary of the Treasury
and other appointees of the Obama administration understood the need to
avoid paying the full amount of what was due until or unless they were
caught.

Cheating on one’s taxes has achieved a perverse patriotic status given the
way the federal government redistributes the revenue via a Congress that
exists only to pass multi-billion dollar spending bills with thousands of
“earmarks” that are intended to ensure their reelection in their districts
or states.

Moreover, the federal government has completely ignored the U.S.
Constitution that forbids “bailouts” that disburse funds from the public
treasury to private enterprises.

James Dale Davidson of the National Taxpayers Union and the author of
several books on the way the government both collects and disburses tax
revenue said “The politicians don’t just want your money. They want your
soul. They want you to be worn down by taxes until you are dependent and
helpless. When you subsidize poverty and failure, you get more of both.”

The present financial crisis is based entirely on government mandates that
required banks and mortgage firms to make bad home loans to people who
would, in a previous era, never have qualified to receive them and then
used
government sponsored enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to purchase
those bad loans.

They, in turn, “securitized” them and sold them to insurance, banking and
investment houses that fell victim to what is arguably an insane policy
based entirely on the liberal belief that everyone has “a right” to live
in
their own home even if they could not afford it.

Americans gathered in the hundreds of thousands from coast to coast on
April
15, the day taxes are due, to protest not just the manner in which the
financial crisis was brought about, but to protest the present plans of
the
Obama administration to carry out the warning Davidson issued.

“Tea Parties” are named for the best known tax protest in
pre-Revolutionary,
colonial America against those imposed by England, demanding “No taxation
without representation.”

The harsh reality of our present times is that Americans have no
representation in either Congress or the White House.

The will of the people is being trampled upon by extreme left-wing
ideologues that ginned up and then used the fatigue and disapproval of
enough Americans for the previous Bush administration to acquire power.

Forgotten amidst this is the fact that many conservatives protested the
Bush
initiatives ranging from No Child Left Behind to a proposed amnesty for
illegal aliens, to the failure of the former President to veto any
spending
bill for six of the eight years he held the office.

We have arrived at a point where citizens must organize and gather in
meetings around the nation to demand to be heard. My fear, however, is
that
the Democrat controlled Congress and, most certainly, President Obama has
no
intention to listen or respond to the will of the people.

Driven by the belief that the federal government alone knows best and
aided
by the way the individual, sovereign powers of the states has been
steadily
eroded by federal programs that can threaten to withhold funding vital to
their needs, the liberals in charge know they must impoverish Americans in
order to make them entirely dependent on the central government.

It is no accident, as commentator Paul Driessen points out, that that the
current indebtedness imposed on Americans through spending and taxation
“is
more accrued debt than 43 previous administrations combined, and it doesn’t
include the cost of servicing this debt or the U.S. share of the $1.1
trillion ‘global stimulus’ devised by the Group of 20, to be administered
by
professional spenders at the International Monetary Fund.”

Looming in the near future is a “climate change” bill that would impose a
“cap and trade” government auction of “carbon credits” that U.S.
industries
and businesses would be required to purchase. Every business enterprise
would have to spend millions to acquire these credits in order to use
energy
to produce the goods that constitute the wealth they generate for
investors,
employees, and the economy in general. The cost of these credits would be
passed onto consumers.

There is no “climate change” crisis that can or should be addressed by the
U.S. government. The Earth is not warming. It has, for a decade, been
cooling. This is due in part from reduced solar activity in the form of
cyclical reductions in magnetic storms known as sunspots.

The alleged “global warming” has been exposed as a huge hoax perpetrated
on
an international basis to enrich the United Nations while positioning it
to
become a global government.

The Obama administration is engaged in a vast effort to deny the expansion
and development of the energy sources America needs as its population
increases and it is doing so under the false flag of “climate change.”

No amount of “clean energy”, solar and wind, will ever substitute for oil,
natural gas, and coal. Vast reserves of these energy sources exist and it
is
the U.S. government that refuses to permit access to them. So-called clean
energy constitutes barely one percent of the energy used by the nation.

The debt imposed by Obama administration initiatives is deliberate. It
cannot be blamed on the previous Bush administration.

The lies being told daily by President Obama and the collusion of
Democrats
controlling the Congress are the single greatest danger facing the nation.

One can only hope that the Tea Parties held on Tax Day mark a massive
push-back against a plot to impose an unconstitutional and un-American
effort to render Americans too poor, too dependent, too weary to fight
back.

The future of the United States of America literally hangs in the balance.
