Party Talk


Memorial Day has come and gone. Officially, socially, it’s summer. You can wear white shoes. You’ll be seeing more people, going to more parties. You need to get your conversational points sharpened, and there’s no better one to start with than the IRS. Here’s the first stunner: Sarah Hall Ingram, who headed the division of the IRS that was responsible for targeting groups because of their religious and political beliefs, has already been promoted. Yes. You don’t believe it? You better believe it, because it is going to affect each and every one of you. This un-American, power-hungry cheat now heads the IRS branch responsible for policing Obamacare – making sure you’re doing right by your government by buying health insurance, whether or not you want it, need it, or can afford it.

This bitch is going to be in control of your health care. She’s going to have the ability to send you to jail. Better check up on her religion and politics and make sure yours are the same. 

Here’s another eye-opening fact: Obamacare needs an army to enforce it. The Unaffordable Care Act has designated the IRS to supply its soldiers, and Sarah Hall Ingram is the General of the new battalion. They are hiring 16,000 new IRS agents to bully you. And here’s another kicker: the union that represents the IRS, The National Treasury Employees Union, NTEU, is requesting that the IRS and its workers be exempt from Obamacare. That’s right. You heard right. The IRS wants to be exempt from the rules with which it is going to bury your health and happiness. Why? Simple. Though yours doesn’t, their own health and happiness means something to them.

Do we need this grief? No. Do we have to have it? No. The House of Representatives could stop it right now simply by refusing to fund the IRS. Think about that. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a flat tax? A flat tax is a fair tax. The government gets the same percent of every income dollar, no matter whose it is. The rich would pay proportionately more than the poor – more in the same proportion that they are richer. What could be fairer than that? No more long statements. No more deductions, no more finagling, no special deals for the well- connected, no more nothing but one simple arithmetic problem that you all learned how to solve in the fifth grade.

Let’s vote the IRS off the island

It can be done, folks, and you know you’ve always wanted it. They’re in trouble now. They’ve proved themselves unworthy. They’ve taken it upon themselves to swing an election – maybe for your man, but maybe next time it won’t be. Maybe next time it will be you who is turned down, turned over and turned inside-out by the IRS, and like Catherine Englebrecht, audited, harassed by the FBI, OSHA and the BTF. The IRS has also taken to releasing private information to political groups, who put financial pressure on the donors of opponents. Maybe next time it will be your health info to the appropriate people so you can be denied treatment.

The Republicans own the House. They could defund the IRS, and they don’t. Why? Because Dem or Rep, it’s the IRS that collects their money for them. Do they take care of your needs and wants with it like they’re supposed to? A little. Do they take care of their own, personal needs and wants with it? A lot.

Going to a rain-check barbeque? This is a topic you can talk up. You’ll be the most compelling person there if you get down on the dirty IRS. Last weekend was Memorial weekend. Brave Americans have died for the freedoms that are being stolen by the current administration. Honor them. Fight for those freedoms. Talk it up.
