The New IRS Standards

IRS's John Koskinen says there are no more emails. Lois Lerner pleads the 5th. They lie, they cheat, they claim rights they have no right to. They claim to collect taxes by law, but in fact make up most of it on their own without a Congressional mandate, oversight, or even involvement. The IRS is out of control. They need to be shut down, but in reality, they are no longer America's funding source anyway - the print shop in the Federal Reserve's basement is where the only money that matters comes from.

So why do you keep serving the Washington alcoholics more to drink? Stop funding them. Why do you continue to file tax returns anyway?

There are only 3 reasons to file a personal tax return in America today, and none of them are legitimate any longer. Remember we file voluntarily if we do, and every return serves as the basis for the IRS and the greater federal government to indict you. Moreover, almost every time you file, you are admitting to breaking laws whether you know it or not.

The 3 reasons people file tax returns:

1. Get refunds. (Only because you are telling them to tax you too much in the first place. Increase your deductions rate to 9 as a married person on your W4, and unless you gross millions, you will only pay Social Security and Medicare - a reasonable tax level for roads, and a military.... and you have no reason to file a return.

2. Get other government benefits - like Obamacare (do you qualify?) If you are a participant on the public tit, you are not likely interested in this story anyway. Quit the dependency, and you will quit the need to pay.

3. To give a tax return to the bank when you want a loan or a mortgage. Quit borrowing. Pay cash, and you will find that by getting rid of the tax man you have more than enough to live on, and buy the things you wanted to borrow for anyway. Besides there are plenty of non-bank lenders out there now that will lend you for specific purposes including buying a car, furniture, and even private mortgages if you put enough down -that don't require a tax return like a bank. The banks have simply become extensions of the government under Dodd-Frank anyway. Minimize your involvement with them.

If you haven't figured it out by now, your goal should be to get to the point you never need to file a tax return because there is nothing in it for you to file.

Remember, the IRS does NOTHING for you, and you should not do anything for them. They lie, cheat, and make up their own rules to completely disadvantage you. They work for complete crooks that are spending on average $ 3,000. per year more of your money than they would even have the legal right to collect if they had a legitimate moral authority to still collect anything at all. And most importantly, your taxes don't matter, because if you don't pay anything, they will just print more in the basement in Washington.

So given the new IRS standards, what are yours?

Be wise.

The Flat Tax Versus The Buxom IRS ...Give It Some Time

Another unpublished old draft from 2009, I just laughed at, and decided needed to be let loose....

So I was a kid in high school and we'd spend time in 'PE' - the short title for my less than favorite class of 'Physical Education'. We were big on short titles. Three letters for three words. We even had three of those three letter TV networks that were short for really long names back then. We used to give people short nick names too like 'PJ' or 'CT' and so on.

So when we were waiting for our turn to play tennis at our PE class, we had to wait for the girls to finish playing first. We were gathered outside the back fence at the court watching skinny Maxine playing buxom Bobbi. Now we happened to be at the same end of the court as buxom Bobbi who happened to have a penchant for low cut V Necks, and as a bunch of teenage boys, we decided we were missing all of the real action while only watching the back of Bobbi, and the front of flat Maxi while Maxi was earning all the points, so we had to move around the side to the end of the net at center court where we could see all the action.

Well its more than 30 years later, and everyone's world has changed. We've all gained a little weight and those girls have had a few offspring, and I have noticed a thing or two about the effects of time on beauty. Given what I know today, I'd have been a lot more enamored with Miss Max if I knew then what I know now.

Whenever I hear reference to a 'Flat Tax' these days, I don't think the word 'flat' has much appeal, until I begin to think about our bountiful IRS - the buxom IRS - that beautiful and benevolent IRS, and those bevy of beautiful benefits that are busting out of it's V Neck, except that with time - our buxom IRS has become a typical civil service 'babe' with a really wide chair, a turtle neck sweater, and all of the bevy has fallen 1-2 feet lower into the bulging belly and butt of a really gross bulbous bag of bad attitude - bitchin' at the world about everything including their job. God alone knows what shes sitting on, but whatever it is - it isn't going to live.

Now in that same period that flat Max has had children which in turn filled her out beautifully, and she has gone on to become the belle of the ball in every way.

The moral of the story is - it may take a few years to really appreciate the well rounded benefits of a flat tax, but I already prefer it to the bulging behemoth that has become the IRS.

Maybe Neal Boortz and John Lander were right to call their proposal the 'Fair Tax'. She may not have a tan yet, but I think I'd prefer the results when the sun sets.

The Monopolistic Morass of More Asses With More Ass

Government bureaucracies are generally made up of two groups of people. The 'Temporarys' and the 'Permanents'. Without specific detail, generally the Temporarys fall in the category of being young, vibrant, beautiful, energetic, etc.

Generally hired by male bosses under the age of 45, temporarys are generally women, who know how to reveal a little cleavage, and have an agenda. Both they and their bosses are temporary because before long one - or both - is going to cross a line and/or simply become 'tired of the game' and move on.

Then there are the permanents. You've met them at the DMV, the post office, the social security office. They are generally sitting on something - presumably a stool, except that you can't see it, or a really wide well worn chair. Often thick rimmed glasses, and/or an enormous amount of make-up (a la Tammy Faye Bakker), and a voice like a drain snake.

Generally these people have attitude. I would refer to this average bureaucrat as having the attitude of an 'ass'. (Which demonstrates complete disrespect for the stubborn form of donkey specifcally referred to as a 'Jackass' or Ass for short - from which this attitude reference derives...)

This however is confusing, because if there is anything particularly noteworthy about these people physically, it is what they are sitting on - which is also an 'ass'. In reality, the confusion derives from the fact that these appear to be two ass people - one physical, and one attitudinal.

And so it is that I would have to describe a bureaucrat as having 'More Ass' than an average human.

But it is more complex than this. You see, generally we can refer to anyone with the attitude of a Jackass (Donkey) as derogatorily being an Ass. Which means that we would be referring to a group of these people with this bad attitude as a bunch of asses. But it is my contention, that because the temporary bureaucrats move on (before they develop these very large physical asses), the only ones that remain in mass are the asses. Ie. there are more asses with more ass.

Which brings us to the final observation of government bureaucrats. Their inability to complete (not 'compete' ...LOL!) productively, effectively, or competitively on ANYTHING. This is what I would call a black hole, a waste patch, or a morass. Thats right - there it is again!! Morass.

And that is the summary of government anything - a great morass of more asses with more ass.

So what would you call it?

Caging The Monkey

A little draft I wrote five years ago in early 2009, and never published until now....

      "When Curious George Obama took over the White House, with the other of the three stooges over in          the Capital Building, Nasty Belowsi in the House, and the scary weed Harry Reid in the Senate, it                  appears as though we have watched the transformation of the monkey into a gorilla.

       Now King Kong is halfway up the Empire State Building with Faye Ray freedom firmly clenched in his          arm, clearly intent on throwing freedom down to it's death....

       What we need now is a commercial break so we can think long enough to rewrite the ending of this              communist oriented classic. Stop the cameras, cut the lights, put the monkey back in the cage, and let's          think about this for a bit. But of course how do we get the monkey back in the cage as long as he has all        the power...

       The real solution is to lure him with the banana, away from his power base, and back into a more        
       controlled environment. Who let these creatures out in the first place? Well apparently we gave them
       this authority by forfeiting our schools and our children to the jungle at recess, and then never ringing
        the bell..."

All so eerily accurate insight - even back that early into this mess.
I regret having asked for 'Wisdom' in a world of stupidity.
Instead I look forward to the happiness of memory loss. I might choose it now.

The End Of The Era Of....

So what clearly defines an end of an era anyway? 9/11? New leadership? Economic meltdown? Entering uncharted waters? Defining new paths where none have existed?

The information age is upon us, and the New World is defined by the ability to manage information - both harnessed and disseminated; both imagery and data; both perception and reality.

The day has effectively ended when an individual can succeed without the skills to absorb and manage information effectively. In the past era of humanity, a simple mind, a good heart, and a strong set of taught values were the norm - and sufficient. And yet our schools are incapable of teaching these skills....

While community leaders were developed from such stock based on the experience of a lifetime's input, respect was given for the knowledge developed over time, and a leaders ability to discern right from wrong, and use the combination of knowledge and experience wisely to make great and respectable decisions. Such leaders stood out easily in a group with the focus that was given them as they naturally rose to the top.

And then along came Google, and Yahoo, and the knowledge explosion. And suddenly the knowledge in one's head is no longer necessary to be gained from experience, or even intelligent focused research. For the first time in the history of mankind, more knowledge is available to any and every tuned-in human than can ever be absorbed. A simple search of any word or combination of words will turn up thousands to millions of references with every type of use, interpretation, application, example and perversion of such a word or concept. All in such a disorganized and useless fashion that is effectively worthless to the important priority based decision making process. Like noise, information overpowers the important thoughtful planning process that is necessary to strategic management of better plans and ideas.

For the first time ever, even for librarians - it is not a question of where the power is - which is in information - and the use of it - for or against people - it is only a question of how to dissect it, organize it, use it best and preferably most wisely - an important consideration apparently lost on today's governing decision makers.

And now at this critical juncture of information availability and management, we turn the corner into a new world that has never before needed such a new level of uncharted wisdom, and virtue while America's schools have fallen into the morass of infighting, stupidity, self absorption, political correctness (that they do not even know how to define) and blurred focus: completely bereft of all that is valuable and important in the use of all knowledge as they have wandered away (or run away in many cases) from all that is traditionally served as foundational - God, family and values.

This is a new era - which I see most clearly marked with hindsight as the turn of the new millenium - clearly highlighted in retrospect as the fall of 2008 (7 Biblical years after 9/11) with the meltdown of all major world economies and consequently most major governments in terms of maintaining priorities previously defined.

New leadership will no longer be defined by old foundational standards. New leadership will be defined by the ability to manage information and hence perception most effectively. And as has since been proven - without the need for a foundation of experience, new leadership will have no choice but to be both controlling and brutal to maintain superiority. Alternately, and optimistically governance might be overcome by more mature technology with even less skill required for the leadership role. But beware of the autonomy of technological leadership - it threatens....

The real power struggles in the world have become wars of perception control, and the control of the media and information management are two of the main pillars by which control is defined and managed.

We used to warn our children about the enemy because it was clear who they were. It is no longer clear for the majority of the world. Only those anchored enough in those old foundational principles of God, family, and values can have enough insight and discernment to measure the new world against old norms.

Whatever your perception of the future, you can be certain we have entered a new era.

A Warning To 'Crats Playing Government Regulation Chess...With Americas former Strength: Business

Oh the thrill of power....Isn't it good to be the king?

But you 'crats* easily forget that when your beloved government falls apart - because you helped kill it....- that you too are one of the paeons that your type pee on as well - and the world you are destroying is your own, and your family's - including your children - if you are not so sterile as to have not had any.

The regulation-istas of America have closed more restaurants in America in the last 5 years than were opened in the previous 15 years. And in most cases, the power hungry 'crats that are responsible for closing them will return to their neighborhoods to find half of their own favorite restaurants also closed. And retail stores. And important service providers.

"But why?" they are so foolish to ask when the light begins to finally break through the fog of their corruption (because they are so willing to work aggressively with NO real or useful information - just their favorite kinds of 'report information': lists and colorful pie charts about irrelevant comparisons that have nothing to do with the basis of intelligent decision making that is based on thoughtful affecting factors.....'excuse data')

So what are the 'crats of America accomplishing by confusing the concept of law with self generated 'regulations' interpreted from badly written excuses for law... Nothing good.

Oh - the 'crats* say the problems belong to the business sector:
-  'they do not know how to manage their businesses in this important regulatory environment - they must change their approach....'
- 'they should increase their prices to reflect the growing costs of regulation - but don't cause inflation now'
- 'these regulations are necessary to protect the public....'
- 'inspection and investigation are necessary to maintain compliance...'  (If investigation and inspection by objective reviewers is so beneficial, why are the same regulators, inspectors, and investigators putting up so many security blocks to even getting into their offices - let alone allowing inspection and investigation of their offices to ensure they are in compliance with the public's determined best interests....)

Ah - but this is the rub in what is now officially and regulatorily a police state - the 'crats are both organized and funded to work against the public, but the public is neither organized or funded to work against the police state. So who is going to win this chess game? The strategy has worked, and the answer for you dear paeon is 'Checkmate'.

Relinquish your queen.

You are nothing, and you own nothing of value. When it finally occurs to you that what you think you own is both valueless, and no longer your own, and it begins to irritate you enough to shut off your big screen, and rise from your comfy chair, see if I am still around. I'll be happy to explain how it went down to you.

Yours truly ...
from the field.

* 'Crats - bureaucrats empowered by the statist Democrats, Liberals, and Progressives that fight freedom with 'evergrown' governing authority.

A Peasant's Perspective On How To Deal With The Overbearing One

The government of America is relentless in delivering their edicts and expectations, and telling we the peasants what they expect of us. But I have some advice to offer from the Peasant's Peanut Gallery.

I spent the last six months ignoring the lions share of the insidious stream of edicts and output of the Overbearing One - the Government of America.

In fact I have taken a new approach pushing the limits of not only ignoring the jerks, but taking my response one step further by throwing back at them by telling them to effectively shove it - I ain't taking it anymore. This has involved more than a few conversations with a number of their representatives (bureaucrats) telling them that they have no authority with me because I do not consider their 'laws' having any authority when they represent an administration, a congress and a judiciary that are headed by unserious lawbreakers that have destroyed the concept of accountability, and responsibility by their words and their actions.

Therefore in their lawlessness and irresponsibility as leaders they have made the services of their bureaucrats unnecessary and without credibility, so as the President and the Attorney General say - actually or figuratively - I will do whatever I want. That means ignoring everything these mental midgets pass as regulations - which I no longer consider as law as they have no backing in anything in penalties - which I refuse to participate in anyway. Fine me? I dont think so. I am not giving you anything. Want to discuss it? Sure, come on down to my place, and you better bring some weapons, before you start flapping your gums, because I am more likely shoot a hole in your boots than listen to anything you have to say.....

So quit taking these idiots so seriously. They have already thrown away your health care, your national security, your respectability in the world, and all they have left is to throw away your freedom. Don't give it to them, save your fight and energy for the right to maintain your freedom. They have nothing else to take from you. They really don't have any claim on your money - they are illegitimate in the collection and mismanagement of all money they ever get. They have no claim on your rights - your only rights are protected in the Consititution - and they act like it doesn't exist. Sure they have too many police, so stay out of their way, and keep your head low. But ignore everything else they promise or threaten. Most of their threats are worthless, and without teeth, and they haven't delivered on a real major promise in your lifetime, and they have burned all the tools they had for delivering on a promise.

If you're not going to get off your ass and take to the streets like they do in countries like Venezuela, China, Iraq, Iran, and now the Russian outposts, at least recognize your government is made up of idiots, and ignore them all you can.

Want to really do something good in America?  Get involved with a Christian church or do something about making public education better by working towards destroying the teachers union and demanding students be made first priority again. And vote for smaller government if you get the chance. If you don't know how, don't vote at all.

Till then, ignore the government and stay out of their way.
