The IRS’s firearms and ammunition are used primarily by its Criminal Investigation (CI) unit, which is manned by 2,148 federal law enforcement officers. But some of it is also used by the IRS’s Police Officer Section, which includes only 9 federal law enforcement officers.
Ok...
the IRS has special police that carry guns but the IRS agent that files and serves paperwork does not Point guns at people and demand payment of tax debt!
LOL
What a great example of how propaganda works
people can claim the IRS has guns
and uses them to collect tax debts
but the fact is it's ONLY police carry guns and they use them to protect themselves when they're in a criminal investigation...
Well, if I have the right to "keep my money", that means other people have the right to "keep their money" -- and if all that takes place, then we'd have no higher authority to appeal to if somebody reneges on their contract. Wouldn't that mean that rights belong only to those strong enough, smart enough, or brave enough to assert them?* Sounds to me like a recipe for warlordism. In that case, the stronger and/or bigger will simply swallow up the weaker groups - and we're right back to square one, if not worse.
"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" comes to mind.
*Note well I said the other two before I said 'brave" - as no amount of bravery will be enough if you don't have the strength or smarts in the first place.
The only reason you have any money a home a wife children and any assets whatsoever is because hard-working honest people paid their taxes for hundreds of years and built the society in which you can safely live work play and INVEST Within
Buy a boat
Sail Out to international waters
and you can keep all your money
Unless somebody shows up with a gun and takes it away from you
Luckily you live in a civilized society where someone can't show up with a gun and take all your assets (like your home)
because
you can call the police and they will come protect you and your Investments
because people pay taxes in a modern civilized society and that protects us all
the reason I bought my real estate in the USA is because it has a good stable democratic government
If I bought my real estate in Somalia I would have no recourse if someone decided to move in and take it over
a government of by and for the people protects us all and encourages investment
without a police force to kick out squatters I would have no recourse except to try to evict them myself or hire some private group of armed mercenaries to do it for me... however they might turn around and take my asset
That could easily turn into a firefight that would endanger us all
once again the only reason people have the safe opportunity to invest in our country is because we have a well-organized well-run tax-funded government
without that no one would be buying property because any gang with a rifle could run in there and take it away from you

IRS =NO GUN
POLICE= GUNS
Nice try
Sure, when you redesignate federal IRS agents as law enforcement, then of course only "Police" (law enforcement) carrys guns.
Like if I redesignate small monkeys to mean the Dallas Cowgirls, then the Dallas Cowboys only has small monkeys as cheerleaders.
However only the certifiably moronic would believe that the Dallas Cowboys have small monkeys as cheerleaders, and only the certifiably moronic would believe the metric s**t ton of guano you're spewing.

Wait a minute
Let me get this straight
you actually believe the IRS agents carry guns and demand tax payment at gunpoint?
I like your monkey/cheerleader analogy though
that's priceless
really explains a lot about the moderation around here...

just like Somalia
Just a bit of trivia here ...
Did you know for the first 140 years of the America (1776-1916) there was virtually no direct taxation on American citizens?
Also ...
On January 1, 1835, president Andrew Jackson paid off the entire national debt, the only time in U.S. history that has been accomplished.
I'm here warning all of you that paying your taxes supports the civilized Society we all enjoy and are comfortable investing in
I think paying your taxes is a good thing
perhaps you should have someone read the thread to you
I remember when my father didn't pay the taxes on a home I own
he was living there and supposed to be taking care of it
The property slid into seizure and I was served paperwork numerous times
no one ever pulled a gun on me and demanded payment
Had i chained myself to the bathroom sink they would have used boltcutters...no guns
If you think paying taxes was a good thing, have you offered to pay a gift to the IRS? I know we went through a period of "less is more" but truthfully more is always more, and there's never too much of a good thing.
Sure act like a thrall and you have less issues, like being mugged, if you just hand over your valuables your risk of being hurt is significantly lower than resisting. Especially if you don't question the validity of the claims on your property.
Did you get a "good puppy" and a pat on the head for being so accommodating?
