Comments on: Where Were They For Geithner And Rangel? http://www.onebigdog.net/where-were-they-for-geithner-and-rangel/ "Let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls. Don't ever argue with the Big Dog because the Big Dog is always right" Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:27:03 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: LD Jackson http://www.onebigdog.net/where-were-they-for-geithner-and-rangel/comment-page-1/#comment-149643 LD Jackson Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:45:50 +0000 http://www.onebigdog.net/?p=9329#comment-149643 For starters, I know from experience that the IRS intends to collect every dime they feel they are owed by the average American citizen. After our oldest daughter was married, I neglected to remove her as a dependent on my W2. A simple oversight that resulted in my wife and I owing taxes at the end of the year in 2008. The company that filled out my taxes told me to pay what I could and as long as I was paying, it would be okay. They did warn me that I would receive some very nasty letters, which is what happened. The entire amount owed was less than $500, but no matter what amount I sent them, it wasn't enough. Thank God, I finally got it paid off, but it is indicative of how overbearing the IRS is to the average American citizen. As for Rangel, I have no idea how he stayed in control of tax policy as long as he did. Kind of like the fox guarding the hen house. He and Geithner are like a lot of people in Obama's administration. They seem to think they are above and beyond the law. Somehow, some way, people like them need to be held accountable.

The <b><i>elite!</i></b> Besides, their hearts are in the right place, don't y'know. They're "progressives" who want to level us all with the Burmese and the Cubans. The Long Arm of the Law can't reach <b><i>that</i></b> high! It's folly to expect justice, or even consistency, from an apparatus designed to oppress. I submit the IRS as Exhibit One. Geithner?
