87,000 IRS Locust Agents Descending on Americans – A Repeat of 1776

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. ~ Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.

Big news: the two Joes, Biden and Manchin, have funded 80 billion for the IRS in their “Inflation Reduction Act.” Question: How exactly does spending 80 billion dollars reduce inflation?

According to CNBC reporter Kate Doyle, the ironically named Inflation Reduction Act has “more than half of the money going to enforcement.” The IRS plans to hire 87,000 more agents to audit “high earners.”

Where have we seen this scene play out before? Oh, yeah. Colonial America, with King George III’s swarms of tax officers harassing Americans and eating out their substance. It’s right there in the Declaration of Independence. 

What does a “swarm” look like? I’d say 87,000 IRS locust agents descending on American taxpayers. What does a swarm of locusts do? Eat all of a farmer’s crops that he worked hard to plant and cultivate. What does a swarm of IRS agents do? Seize a hefty percentage of a wage earner’s money that she worked hard to earn.

What does “eating out their substance” look like? 87,000 IRS agents confiscating money from American citizens. 

What does “harass our people” look like?

The time and paperwork involved in audits. When the IRS audits you, you are presumed guilty unless you and your accountant can prove your innocence. So, you must produce the documents the IRS asks for, answer the questions the IRS asks, and spend time with an IRS agent. You can’t do your own work, run your business, or lead your own life. When the IRS comes calling, they claim first priority over your life.

The Iron Law of Bureaucracy: fulfill our quotas, be it right or wrong.

In one case, the IRS audited a small business, taking the time of the lone accountant for an entire week. His normal work did not get done while he produced documents for the IRS agent. At the end of the week, the honest agent told the accountant: “Everything is in order. No violations. The company does not owe back taxes.”

When Honest Agent reported the result to her boss, he said: “There is always a violation somewhere in a small business. Go back and audit them again.” The honest agent returned and spent another week with the accountant, delaying her regular work (including employee paychecks) for a second week. Again, she found nothing wrong. Again, her boss told her: “Your job is to find something wrong. You are not looking closely enough. Return and audit them a third time.”

Faced with losing the third week of work, Honest Accountant told Honest Agent, “Look, here is a small amount in a category that could be interpreted as a judgment call. Why not label that a violation, assess a back tax due and a penalty due, declare a victory, and move on?” The honest agent did so. Her boss was satisfied that she had made her quota of “violations” that he, in turn, could report to his boss up the hierarchy of the bureaucracy. The honest accountant was able to get back to catching up on her real work. 

Moral of the story: When an enforcement agency has a goal of finding violations, they will find them even if they have to make them up. They are in trouble with their bosses if they do not.

You can expect more swarms and more harassment, just as in 1776.

Tea anyone?

Michael McCarthy

Michael McCarthy is a life-long student of liberty, limited government, and free-market economics. As a young man, he taught and crewed at the Flint School aboard the 156’ two-masted schooner Te Vega sailing in Europe. Atlas Shrugged was required reading.

In 2010 he saw the acceleration of big government control in politics, business, and culture. Hoping to reach the next generation through fiction entertainment, he wrote the prophetic novel The Noah Option. Powerful politicians target brilliant black scientist Dr. Grace Washington. Her story continues in the sequel, The Rainbow Option, when powerful elites unleash a deadly virus on unsuspecting Americans, and Grace must develop a cure. In The Timshel Option, ISIS invades and creates The New England Caliphate, making women second-class citizens. One teenage girl fights back.

"The things I predicted in my novels came true in the nightly news. Our country is in trouble. Like Abraham Lincoln, I hope for a new birth of freedom,” says McCarthy.

Biden Administration Is But the Tip of the Spear of Neo-Marxism in America

Only 38% of respondents said patriotism was very important to them, and 39% said religion was very important. The importance of patriotism and religion in 1998 registered at 70% and 62%, respectively. The study also reported that “Tolerance for others, deemed very important by 80% of Americans as recently as four years ago, has fallen to 58% since then.”

Have Drag Queens Replaced Feminists?

Nurses Out Loud with Beth Hnat, RN – Men, biological men, are calling themselves women and assuming womanhood, all from putting on a dress and makeup.

Attempts To Convict Trump Are Taken Straight From Stalin’s Secret Police Playbook

Professor Jonathan Turley, “This is a patently political prosecution,” one that many or most Americans have come to recognize as such. There’s little wonder why two separate polls show that a majority of Americans believe the U.S. currently has a two-tiered justice system. Straight out of Joseph Stalin’s playbook: “Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.”

Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – Dr. Leo Poon asked me to find evidence about raccoon dogs to support it, including how they sell the animal in the Wuhan Huanan seafood market. When I told him that zero evidence showed the raccoon dog was the host after my investigation, he warned me to keep silent, “if not, you will be disappeared”…

Why We Need a New Constitutional Government

Why We Need a New Constitutional Government

Both parties have melded into a uniparty, telling us they are working in the best interest of Americans when in fact, by their very processes of skirting the bounds of legality, they operate together toward one goal, a Socialist America. Our political turmoil today is because Trump’s shocking 2016 election exposed the criminal intent of career politicians to be creatures of self-enrichment and personal aggrandizement…

Big Pharma Admits Using Gene-modifying Technology Not Just in Vaccines, but Your Food

The Tom Renz Show – Despite the clear language and context of this bill, pharma threw an absolute conniption over this and sent in the lobbyists to challenge this bill requiring gene therapies be labeled, and informed consent be offered. Their argument was really incredible and essentially was that they are already modifying our genomes with GMO foods…
