Washington, DC (TLS). Have you filed yet? The deadline is near, that dreaded time of year we all loathe and wish would go away, yet nobody seems to have the guts to do anything about.
Filing taxes in the United States of America is a colossal headache. There is no rational sense to it. Laws are complicated and contradict each other. Even IRS personnel are known to give out erroneous information due to the extremely complicated nature of the U.S. Tax Code.
I am convinced to this day that the primary reason the government keeps this dysfunctional system is so that IRS personnel, tax attorneys, and accountants can keep their jobs.
Other than that, there is no single useful and beneficial purpose of IRS and the present tax code.
The Liberty Sphere has called for the abolition of the IRS many times in the past. It is a concept whose time is due. There are better ways for the government to collect the money it needs to rule over us.
We have heard most of the proposals before--the flat tax, a national sales tax, the fair tax, etc.
These are all worthy proposals that sorely need to be carefully examined.
The fair tax in particular is interesting because it is similar to a national sales tax, with the exception that food and drugs are not taxed at all. This would greatly benefit the poorest among us. The government would be funded by the goods we purchase, excluding food and drugs.
No keeping of records. No filing deadlines. No browbeating by an unelected government agency that has its own police force. No penalties and interest. No tax accountants and attorneys.
In fact, the concept and implementation of such a plan is so simple that complicated minds that thrive off of the present system and its dysfunction are totally baffled by it.
Unfortunately, many of the candidates who ran in the 2006 election cycle on a platform of abolishing the IRS and the U.S. Tax Code lost. We are now dominated in Congress by a Party that loves the IRS and its heavy-handed tactics. After all, when your entire philosophy rests upon growing big government even larger, the IRS is an absolute necessity.
Oh, the horror of life without it! Why, the government could go broke!
The government will never go broke under a fair tax that is attached to buying habits. Under such a system, government will probably have to begin to live within its means, but after all, that's what you and I have to do.
It's time government had to do the same thing.
So, to the IRS--begone! Away with you!

Iran to Take Half of Iraq?
Washington, DC (TLS). The Liberty Sphere has learned of an ominous plan under consideration that would divide Iraq in half. Under the proposed plan, half the country would be given to Iran as a haven for terrorists.
This bombshell was dropped by Republican U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota.
You may remember Rep. Bachmann as the original sponsor of the 'Taxpayers' Bill of Rights,' the goal of which was to protect taxpayer interests and guard against needless tax increases. Bachmann was also the very first Republican woman to be elected to national office in the state of Minnesota. First elected in 2000, Bachmann has been one of the rising stars of the Republican Party. She represents Minnesota's 6th Congressional District and serves on the House Financial Services Committee.
Bachmann claims that a plan has been proposed whereby Iraq would be divided, giving half the country to Iran. This area would serve as a haven for terrorists where they would be given sanctuary, training, and financial support. Bachmann also fears that the sector would serve as a staging area for terrorist attacks in the Middle East and against the United States.
However, the details are fuzzy as to where the proposal came from and by whom. Bachmann had earlier suggested the plan was final. Later she backed away from her initial assessment and stated that this was a proposal on the table and was being considered by those within the U.S. government who are debating the future course of America in Iraq.
Bachmann has refused to grant interviews to the Media concerning her assertions.
This suggests to observers that perhaps the Congresswoman 'outed' certain members of the Bush Administration who are apparently ready to give away half the country to Iran in exchange for some semblance of victory in Iraq. Thus, the retraction and the subsequent silence.
The Liberty Sphere is in no way blaming Rep. Bachmann for this series of statements and retractions. Obviously Congressional Republicans are under immense pressure from the White House to 'get with the program,' and proponents of this ominous plan certainly would not want word of their agenda spread throughout the media.
Representative Bachmann actually did us all a favor by uncovering a covert plan that would essentially be a boon to terrorism not only in the Middle East but around the world. She should be congratulated for alerting the media, and the public, about this grossly ill-conceived notion of rewarding terrorists with a portion of Iraq in exchange for a partial victory in the rest of the country.
Such shenanigans may make the President look good, but the consequences would be disastrous.
The American public should in no way whatsoever lend their support to any plan that would reward terrorists or make their ultimate goal of world domination easier. As for me, I would consider Representative Bachmann as a true American patriot whose service in Washington comes at a time when their number is few and far between.
