Great irony tucked away under "Taxmageddon" headline

Are you a member of a Patriot Network egroup? Everyone needs to be! These have been going on since the internet age dawned and the PN immediately began making the most of it.

This headline made all of them today, or close:

Taxmageddon Will Hit on January 1, 2013
Written by Gary North on April 12, 2012


Normally a headline like that will have been created by the System for the purpose of scaring the citizens. But this is the work of the renowned Gary North.

Yes, there's a great scare factor in the story. The Bush tax cuts, if you can call them that, will expire on the day in question. Obama taxes will go into effect. But perhaps as a touch of irony, North shares this yummy tidbit:

If there is a last-minute deal before November, it will create havoc for the IRS. The IRS commissioner has described it as a “real disaster in the filing season where there’s total confusion.” Somehow, I do not care.

It is good to know that some of our overlords' schemes come back to haunt them.
