If the IRS has violated some law, out with it. Otherwise, it's not stealing.

Um, again, stealing private property is not legal. Even if The Pope, Chewbacca, or Allah say it is.....it isn't.

The Constitution authorizes the federal government to lay and collect taxes. The means by which our elected officials have chosen to do so is by setting up the tax statutes (26 U.S.C. et al), and granting, again by statute, to the IRS the power to enforce those laws.

It allows them to lay and collect SOME taxes. And yes, I realize our corrupt and bought-and-paid -for legislature has aided in the theft of the American people. No need to point out something so obvious.

This isn't really sophisticated stuff. Someone with a high school civics class should understand how this works.

I know how it works, hence why I am schooling you on it....

Uh... In a LEGAL sense I am correct. What does Orwell have to do with it?

No. Stealing private property is not legal. Saying that theft is legal is Orwellian.

Anyway, government theft might run contrary to the vision of the founders, but government collecting revenue through taxation does not. Hence, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1.

More Orwellian newspeak to justify govt theft.

Oh... so now you're going to try to make the whole "income tax is illegalzzzzz" argument? Sure, go ahead and make it, I could use a laugh.

Laugh all you want. I bet it echoes reall nicely down there in your mamas basement. But laughing all by yourself won't make govt theft legit...

LOL... Because I'm the one saying that government actions explicitly authorized by the Constitution are stealing?????? It would be hysterical if I didn't think you were serious.

Most of their actions are not authorized by the constitution.

Uh huh. Says you. And who are you again?

Um, says the people that created the country and drafted its laws....and common sense. A government stealing wealth from people to build condos for prairie dogs and study the effects of bear sperm on bumblebees isn't right...no matter what you say.
