More details on IRS viciousness, arrogance and callousness

Nothing earthshaking, but -- well, kind of earthshaking:

IRS Watchdog: Elderly and Disabled Taxpayers Not Allowed to Leave Messages

Dr. Clarkson maintained that the "Service" targets the weak, poor and elderly by cause they're easier marks. This would jive with that -- especially in the wake of our loss of Henry Link, a South Carolina patriot who was still being hounded and persecuted by the tax thieves when he died aged 94 in 2013.

My thesis is that government is predatory. It preys on the people it purports to serve. It robs, rapes and kills as many of us as it can get away with, and stultifies and harrasses the rest..... except the high and mighty types mirroring government in the private sector (but I repeat myself).

Everybody lives in their own little world -- far more than they know, including myself. For most people, the soggy ground their world stands on is the assumption that government is benign, it loves us, it wants to to everything for our benefit. Amazingly, when something like the IRS abuse hits them personally, an easy 99% of them go on with the fantasy, believing it's just a fluke and the government still meant well the whole time.

Where have we heard this before? Oh yes -- people gaily sacrificing their children to the war god and forever reassuring themselves that it was all to the good -- nation-building, winning hearts and minds, bringing democracy, stopping terror, tra-la, tra-la.

Government wouldn't lie to us, right?
