When congress approved $80 billion in new funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) enforcement division, the intellectually honest crowd knew this was not just about hiring more IRS agents. Indeed, the personnel side of the spending will almost certainly pale in comparison to the IRS creating new technological enforcement mechanisms to track electronic payment systems. Ultimately, it’s just an obvious evolution in IRS monitoring and surveillance.
Today, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen seemed to outline exactly that when she sent the IRS a memo instructing them to develop an action plan within six months for how to improve the technology needed to expand enforcement {link}. What we are likely to experience is the next phase in the public-private partnership, this time focused almost exclusively on electronic payment systems, income and earnings.
On August 10th, after reviewing the legislative language, CTH said, “I predict (in phase one) the IRS will soon create an office of “digital income verification and audits” or DIVA. This agency will be used to confiscate and remove access to on-line funds. In phase two they trigger the ‘climate change’ control mechanisms.” {link} It’s not that much of a prediction as it is just an acceptance of this ongoing big government continuum.
An IRS enforcement agency specifically focused on “Digital Income Verification and Audits” (DIVA), is a transparent mechanism following the basic principles of the government partnership with big tech social media. The IRS version will be a collaboration, and/or monitoring system, between the Treasury Dept and processors of on-line funds like PayPal or GiveSendGo, etc. Just like social media, the payment processing systems will eventually be merged with government systems.
Once this technological system is built, legal and regulatory framework constructed, real time monitoring of on-line currency flow will be possible. Once that phase is fully executed, then phase-2 becomes possible. Phase two would likely involve the control or blocking of any transaction deemed against the regulations of the governing authority.
Example: If you used your debit card to purchase too much gasoline (fossil fuel) or meat (regulated food product), the carbon credit program attached to phase-2 could suspend your ability to make purchases.
The first step in the process is to have a surveillance system in place to view all monetary exchanges and payment processes that happen on-line. Thus, Secretary Yellen is asking the compliance division of the IRS for an action plan within six months to outline the IRS technology needed.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Now that President Joe Biden signed Democrats’ expansive climate, tax and health care bill into law, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has directed the IRS to develop a plan within six months outlining how the tax agency will overhaul its technology, customer service and hiring processes.
In part, the improvements are meant to “end the two-tiered tax system, where most Americans pay what they owe, but those at the top of the distribution often do not,” Yellen said in a Tuesday memo to IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig, whose term ends in three months.
Yellen’s memo, obtained by The Associated Press, outlines the importance of modernizing IRS computer systems and ensuring the agency has an adequately-staffed workforce now that the tax collector is set to receive nearly $80 billion over the next 10 years. That funding is needed for more than technology. At least 50,000 IRS employees are expected to retire over the next five years.
[…] Yellen last week sent instructions to IRS leadership not to increase audit rates on Americans making under $400,000 a year annually.
“Instead, enforcement resources will focus on high-end noncompliance,” she said in her Aug. 11 guidance. “There, sustained, multi-year funding is so critical to the agency’s ability to make the investments needed to pursue a robust attack on the tax gap.” (read more)
That’s a parseltongue phrase if I have ever seen one. “Do not increase audit rates,” simply means if 75% of current audits are targeting the middle class within the current IRS budget, make sure only 75% of new audits target the middle class with the doubled budget. The number of audits doubles, but the rate of the audit in comparison to the IRS targeting remains the same.
Keep in mind, from their reference point it’s not your money, it’s theirs. That is why left-wing government officials use phrases like “spending in the tax code” to explain allowing people to keep their own income.
IRS whistleblower, William Henck, is on Jesse’s show right now. He’s the one that pointed out the IRS will give themselves raises with all that new cash.
Good evening fellow Treepers.
By way of background, I am a licensed CPA in PA, and I have been doing tax and accounting work for the last 15 years. I have seen just about every tax situation one can think of and throwing another $80 million at the IRS isn’t going to fix anything there because they are the worst run agency in the federal government. Yes, worse than the FBI of all places.
Right now, the IRS can’t even pick up the phone within 60 minutes, and it has a return processing backlog of about 3 million returns that still need processed. I have clients who are still waiting for returns to be processed that were submitted in 2020. Go figure.
Small businesses that already collect sales tax have to submit monthly or quarterly sales tax returns to their state itemizing out taxable and non-taxable sales. If your business takes credit cards, then the state will compare the 1099-K issued by the credit card processor to your sales tax return and check to make sure your total sales reported by the processor are included on your sales tax reports. I do not believe the IRS will be able to make much headway in this area.
The big area that the IRS will be targeting for enforcement are those businesses whose income doesn’t match up to the paperwork they already receive. See the previous paragraph. These are mostly cash only businesses that do not remit sales tax to a state government. The barber occupation given by another poster is a prime example. If you are self-employed and file on a Schedule C, you WILL be targeted for additional scrutiny. I don’t care if you report $1,000 or $500,000 of income on your Schedule C, you are going to be in the crosshairs. There are ways to minimize risk in this area, and I would recommend engaging the services of a reputable CPA or Enrolled Agent (EA). He/She will be able to help you navigate this minefield.
The IRS is going to crack down on payments made by 3rd party processors (Paypal, Venmo, etc) on peer-to-peer transactions. Once you get over the reporting limit ($600 as of today), the processor is going to send you a 1099 stating the total amount received during the year from their service. My advice at this time is to migrate away from these services and conduct transactions with others face to face with cash. If you owe your friend $20 for dinner or something, just give him cash and don’t use Venmo to send him the money.
Also, if you get correspondence from the IRS or a state tax authority for anything, do not attempt to try and respond to it on your own. Please go and ask a CPA or EA for help to resolve the matter. The IRS or a state tax authority will not call you on the phone or email you. Their first point of contact MUST be by mail. Also, under no circumstances do you allow the IRS or state revenue agent to come to your house or place of business. All interaction with them should be done through a 3rd party (your CPA or EA or attorney) and done at the office of your CPA or EA. Most importantly, IRS agents do not understand the law they are trying to enforce. Most times a CPA or EA will explain the law and current regulations to the agent, and the agent will have no recourse other than to drop the audit. I have seen this happen many times.
Sorry for the long post, but this is information everyone needs to hear.
Brian- I can’t thank you enough for posting this information!! I feel so much better now. I’m going to copy what you wrote and send it to some fellow entrepreneurs.
Most of the IRS offices that I have been to require a search and frisk similar to what is experienced at the airport. I have gone to these offices requesting information for clients. I am a CPA and an EA (the Enrolled Agent exam in my opinion is a joke.)
I doubt seriously that these folks would be armed, but it is something to keep in mind. Common red flags to follow up on what Brian has written include vehicle use and meals and entertainment. Also be aware these agents scrutinize ratios of expenses to income earned. If there is one huge expense and all the rest are smaller have all the receipts that you can muster on that expense.
I also believe this money is to update an outrageously antiquated system. I was sent notice after notice that I owed $20 that included asset lien, blah, blah, blah. I sent them $20. A fortnight later I received a check for $22 that included interest earned for the same matter. That is the definition of an antiquated system. Never, ever be intimidated. Some of the GS-13s and above are quite knowledgeable, but those manning the telephones are GS-1s and GS-3s and are certainly not worth your time.
Also keep in mind that many millions of paper IRS returns have been destroyed. They can’t even store what has been given to them by scanning these records onto computers. This is 1980s and 1990s technology that I don’t believe is in their possession to the extent required to abide by the tax code.
I don’t feel better and I ain’t buying the b.s.! The 87,000 new agents will be HIGHLY trained, IDEOLOGICAL LEFTISTS THUGS and if the IRS IS TRULY that disorganized and inept, give it time and they will be as bad as the FBI (SORRY, I am not buying the IRS is Worse than the FBI) They had ZERO problem going after True the Vote Katherine Englebright.
Thanks for the advice!!
Thank you Brian!
We have had our returns done professionally for many years.
This year we received an IRS notice in the mail in which they stated that we hadn’t paid our taxes owed for 2021 which we had done in April 2021. The IRS had incorrectly posted our 2021 income tax payment to our installment account and our installment payment to our 2021 income tax payment account. We had used the correct remittance vouchers. We had photocopied the vouchers and checks we mailed and I pulled copies of the cashed checks from our bank account (not one of the national banks). We sent all this to our CPA and they resolved it. However, we were surprised how long this simple matter took to resolve.
My advice is to keep copies of everything. Don’t rely on your bank. Case in point: our other bank, Chase Bank could not provide us a copy of the cashed installment check from June. We were at the bank yesterday asking for this information. Copies for all our other cashed checks were accessible from our on-line Chase bank account, but not for the IRS check. Strange…
Correction: “…that we hadn’t paid our taxes owed for 2021 which we had done in April 2022.”
Yes, my favorite type of correspondence to handle. Taxpayer sends in payment, IRS cashes the check, and then it goes into a black hole and you get a nasty letter in the mail claiming you didn’t pay. So instead of the IRS fixing it, you the taxpayer have to jump through hoops, get copies of checks, etc to prove you paid the bill even though they already have your money. Fun times! /sarc
The Phrase “cashes the check” many of us almost never write checks but with the IRS I insist using a paper check and photo copy it.
In the case of the IRS, medical malpractice and sexual harassment, you have the duty to prove you are not guilty.
Forewarned is forearmed.
Thank you.
Good advice. I do our own joint returns; guess I’m a glutton for punishment. Here we have “gross excise tax” not sales tax and already on our state return we have to reconcile business (C/E/F) gross receipts against GET return. If you are a barber, you are liable for the GET. Per a revenue ruling, if you have interest on bank account (i.e. sked B) you must allocate any amount due to business and pay GET on it.
Thanks. I’m pretty much a cash person now except for bills but my daughter and her friends are Venmo devotees so I sent her that paragraph.
If you buy from someone on Craigs List or other platforms, if they are reasonably local, you can arrange to meet and pay cash bypassing the system.
You can make the exchange in a parking lot. Safer than inviting a stranger to your home.
Everyone reading this should always pay your waiter their tip in cash even if you pay the meal with credit card. The cash tip bypasses the electronic recording by the restaurant. No more credit card tips.
I have been told by someone who ought know IRS has schools to teach how a given business works. If you run a pizza shop you may be audited by someone who knows more about running a pizza shop than you as an owner operator. That is the have firsthand knowledge of all the tricks of the trade.
If true or not please educate me?
Thanks either way.
Years ago I attended free IRS tax courses on a particular area in the IRS office. I do not know if they still offer these.
As far as an experienced pizza shop owner working for the IRS, I would doubt it. Usually a pizza owner would have a tax expert doing their taxes. IRS probably hires accountants, book keeper types and trains them in the tax law.
Lastly, I have had to contact the IRS in past years, with emphasis on last years. I always found them to be unusually helpful if I disagreed with their refund amount they sent me. In a few years I challenged them on the phone politely, and in several cases they agreed with me that my calculated amount was correct.
Do not be scared or intimidated to contact them. I have always found them to be professional and helpful. I was shocked that was the case, but it was true in the past. I have not found the need to contact them recently.
My state made a big error on my return this year. I challenged them with the precise math and detailed explanation, they agreed and sent me the correct amount. Never assume these organizations are in the right. But you should be prepared to challenge them with facts and math and they will work with you to resolve it.
That is correct. They even have pizza shop audit test standards. They can audit, see how many boxes you bought and estimate sales that way. If you bought 500 boxes, you better have sold/reported more than 450 pizza sold.
As Catherine Austin Fitts say #CashEveryday

Thank you. I have heard but cannot verify that IRS investigating agents get a percentage perk for monies taken from the retrieved tax. Do you know anything about that?
There are probably incentives and this bill which was recently passed might have boosted the bounties.
Thank you, Brian.
The thought of the average, middle class citizen being visited by the IRS got me thinking about the Home School Legal Defense Fund. Home school parents used to get legally harassed a lot, and you never knew when you’d need a lawyer for the audacity of educating your own child.
So someone started the Home School Legal Defense Fund. You’d pay a small fee. And in exchange, if you did need a lawyer because of homeschooling your kid, then one of their lawyers would represent you. No additional charge aside from the fees you’ve already paid. And the fees added up to much less than if you’d had to directly hire a lawyer.
Would that be feasible for CPAs and EAs?
Henck also said this will be mostly going after small businesses.
Thanks Brian! I have had the same CPA for nearly 30 years and pay him to keep me safe.
For laypeople, I have long followed the Dead CPA Rule.
That is when to handle any element of my IRS interaction including returns and itemized expenses, if my CPA were to die, could I find a CPA that would defend what the Dead CPA had submitted on my behalf. If not, I don’t do it.
There are things worse in life than paying taxes.
Worse things only because of taxes!
Without having to pay “taxes,” why would you even need CPAs and EAs? That’s part of the problem of trying to repeal the 16th Amendment and get rid of income taxes and the IRS. CPAs and EAs would be out of work.
Why, really, do we allow this? The 16th Amendment was never properly ratified. The IRS is an illegitimate extra-Constitutional, anti-Constitutional, anti-Bill of Rights, “government” agency. It shouldn’t exist in an ethical, moral, pro-human world. It couldn’t exist if the people weren’t so worshipful of their sacred “government.”
Even people who have obediently paid their taxes have had their businesses and lives ruined by this illegitimate outlaw gang of thieves.
“Taxes” are what enable and legitimizes all the other criminal activities of “government.”
Please scroll up through past comments to Amanda’s, and watch/read what she’s posted. These will lead to much more. There is no excuse for this “government” today.
Also please see the link to Catherine Austin Fitts someone above linked to.
The only reason you jump through hoops and are aware of “the Dead CPA” rules is because of illegitimate “government” theft. It’s nothing more than a beast, a gang of thieves writ HUGE! And should be fought and dismantled completely and permanently NOW!
Why should you or any small business have to pay the biggest Mafia in the world just to be able to have a business? What’s the difference between paying “the Mafia” to not kneecap you and the “government”?
You had me worried for a minute. Hunter Biden didn’t get 1099’s from Ukraine or Russian Mayor’s wife. So no audit triggered.
When I sat for the CPA exam, most in the room didn’t have enough time to finish all 4 sections. Most IRS agents are the bottom of the bell curve.
You are also very correct. The average IRS agent is there because he has been turned down from applying for accounting jobs for many months. Not strong enough to argue against a CPA tax specialist.
THIS:
Also, under no circumstances do you allow the IRS or state revenue agent to come to your house or place of business.
I’ll bet you the IRS scum are perusing the interwebs looking for people just like me to harrass. They absolutely hate “we the people”.
Just like some cops. Many IRS agents were poor students, envied us that got recruited by CPA firms and strong job offers.
They are bitter. They didn’t get CPA firm offers, didn’t take the exam, applied for accounting jobs and struck out. 9 months out of school they take civil service exam and apply with IRS. which takes a few more months. I use 3 CPA firms for my companies and just in brainstorming strategy with me they save us more that we pay in annual fees for services.
We need to repeal this damned bill before it breaks the country.
If we take the House and Senate, we stand a great chance.
What makes you think that? Who’s said so? Who’s mounted any opposition to this thing and has a chance of defeating it?
And who is making any noises at all about how the 16th Amendment should be repealed and all such similar things permanently prohibited from ever being floated again? Get rid of the illegitimate 16th Amendment, along with the Federal Reserve Act and the IRS, and we go a very long way to actual American Constitutional, Bill of Rights freedom! Who’s making ANY noises about any of that?!
Without the illegitimate 16th Amendment and the Federal Reserve Act, there would be no such thing as this dangerous, awful, evil bill!!!
Why is this so hard to see? Why is no one going for the only thing that will actually make a difference for the American people?!
Too, too smart people laughed at and contemptuously dismissed Congressman Dr. Ron Paul when he was advocating for this.
Now here we are.
Really, really stupid, ignorant people.
But that CAN be overcome if the admission of being indoctrinated blind with the will to destroy the lie is there.
Not a peep from Kev and Mitch about repeal.
Both must be retired but I’m not holding my breath waiting for GOP boldness.
In my opinion, our two biggest problems are the rise of a dangerous, predatory corporate oligarchy and the corrupt, totally unaccountable, unelected D.C. elites to a position of total dominance.
The idea of freedom and free enterprise becomes gradually supplanted by the state-enforced freedom of corporate oligarchy to loot and eliminate competition.
Together, they use their resources to hire the so called intellectuals (aka academia) and media to create elaborate smoke screen and internal division to conceal their true intentions.
In essence, it is a form of “internal colonialism” which is applied to the host nation’s population, in which government becomes predatory and its policies are completely and intentionally based on lies and deception.
Therefore, a bad government should not only be called a “bad government;” the real adjective should be “the enemy!” Yes, a bad government is the real enemy for the country it governs, an enemy within!
If you do not reject such a government, then you deserve it!
So, remember that just like all totalitarian illegitimate third-world governments, our corrupt government is ,too, built on lies and the silencing of those who challenge the lies.
Exactly so! Thank you!!
One of the first steps to correcting what needs to be corrected is to call it by its real name. And then focus on it and eliminate it completely. There’s no fixing it, no “reforming” it, no just getting in different people — “the right people.” It’s THE THING ITSELF that is WRONG, EVIL, DEVOURING AND DESTRUCTIVE, that has to be completely deleted, abolished, and buried FOREVER.
And replace it with NOTHING!!! Let FREEDOM ring!!!
Well, ALL AMERICANS JUST GOT SCREWED…a whole lot more!!
I watched Manchin’s face yesterday as dementia ridden Biden handed him the pen with the hand he coughed into and then signed this fascistic piece of garbage.
Manchin was grinning like a little boy who’d been allowed to stay up late with the grownups.
He knows he has screwed over every single American who files a tax return, and probably those who don’t.
He is trash…a grifting, corrupt, traitorous enemy of the Constitution and the people of this country.
No, he was smiling because he negotiated a natural gas pipeline with permits promised to him, but many are wondering if he will get what was promised.
Not if the anti Americanist brigade in the House get their way.
Yet we’re told WV is conservative…
I must admit, I was surprised he was re elected. But if I remember correctly the unions were all in for him. We’ll see next time.
You bring up an interesting question..
I believe this is called the ”Conservative Treehouse” because not many people can fit into a ‘treehouse’.
Gateway Pundit says Bill Gates got Manchin to cave.
If you look into ANY world/U.S. government machinations, you’ll find Bill Gates at the bottom of almost all of them.
We are NOT “governed” by “our own” “government.” We are ruled by NGOs, most owned/operated/enabled by Bill Gates and the rest of the NWO evil cabal.
Dig deeply, if you dare. And be appalled.
If these evil people are not stopped, NOW, we are lost. The Georgia Guidestones recommended no more than 500,000,000 people be allowed on earth. Jane Goodall just came out with her idea number: 462,000,000.
These people may be “a joke” for their OBVIOUS evil, but look at how SERIOUS they are at eliminating and enslaving you and me!
They are not a joke, and the sooner people wake up and take them seriously, the better off this world and you and I will be! They DO NOT have good things in store for us. At all.
I wish Sundance, et al., would shift focus onto the REAL problem threatening us, inform the readers here with further information and documentation, and we can all help each other form ways and means to starve and defeat this actual Beast, NOT limited to just “our own” government, but ravening and devouring and destroying the whole world through “governments.”
Please.
As are the IRS, the Federal Reserve Act, and the 16th and 17th Amendments: ALL traitorous and archenemies of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the American people!
Until those evil entities are repealed, deleted, abolished, and permanently barred from ever being attempted again by any administration/legislation, we are slaves, abject and helpless slaves to these evil people.
I have been warning about this ‘tech system’. When it happens – it will be the The Beastly System world-wide.
When digital money comes in they will have total control of our finances. Comply or we will not have access to the digital money; our accounts will be frozen. Yes, it is the purpose to starve us into submission. If we refuse the mark we will lose our heads as well.
We won’t be bartering; as those caught bartering will lose access to their digital money.
We will only have one chance to be saved from damnation in the Tribulation. And that is, to trust God’s Word – refuse the mark and die if that is what it takes.
Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” WE all have the absolute God-given freedom to choose.
The vaccine passports are a precursor to the mark of the beast. The developing and world powers are conditioning its citizens to accept the AntiChrist system – worship the AntiChrist and accept his mark. In the book of Revelation it says that anyone who did not receive the mark of the beast in the right hand or forehead, and did not bow down to worship the beast could not buy or sell.
Ever since the covid19 pandemic started, the global phenomena seen in governments of the world; restricted their people access and participation in society. First it started with masks being voluntarily; to, if anyone who does not show proof of vaccination will not be able to participate in certain activities, gets fired from one’s job, deemed insurrectionists, jailed (China have kept their citizens at home for almost 2 years) etal.
First it was masks, then it was vaccination, then vaccination passports. The powers that be are pushing us towards us to get microchipped and eventually the mark of the beast.
Based on scriptures, no one will be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast (Revelations 13:16–18) which means that we won’t be able to integrate into the modern economic system.
No money means no way to pay taxes as well, which essential removes us from modern society as a whole and cuts our access to all of its resources.
Two ways are therefore left to us in such case, remaining within society and live as marginals (begging for survival) or leaving society, to do what? Create another society? To do so, we will require three main things: land, resources and technology. Most of the land has already been claimed by nation states and it will thus be hard to find an unclaimed, unoccupied piece of land to create a beast/666/antichrist free nation. It will be difficult but not impossible and will only be made possible through the use of advanced technology.
International waters, airspaces and the entire outer space is through international treaties deamed unclaimable by single nation states and will, is (thus far), left free to peacefully create our Christ-loving artificial floating platforms, flying cities, space stations or off world colony nations.
Resources and technology-wise, it would be wise for Christians all over the world to begin right now to create mutual funds aimed at hoarding as much natural resources (including soil and water) and advanced construction and manufucturing equipment as well as infrastructure as possible so that they may escape with them before being cut off from the global economy due to the arrival of the antichrist and the installation of the mark of the beast.
The arrival of the antichrist, according to Scriptures, is not a matter of IF but WHEN. With the increasing growth of satanism in our governmental institutions, it is to wonder what Christians all over the world are waiting for to create new Christ-focused nations or at least prepare for the worst?
This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666. (Revelations 13:18)
Let us stop now to be asleep and realize that we are in the Last Days and act accordingly.
Just a thought.
May God bless you in Jesus-Christ, Amen.

Is Mark of the Beast a sign of the times?
Oh absolutely
They are already making plans that China has control over the “health” of 194 nations (mandated vaccines – which will include “vaccine passports” – which will inevitably lead to a scannable mark in or on the right hand or forehead) I know this is the beginning of the end. They already have their own citizens in a vice grip
Edit: Just a note – there are 195 countries (nations) in the world
On Jan. 18, 2022, officials from the Biden administration quietly sent the WHO extensive amendments without an official statement or a single press conference. These proposed amendments are written to strengthen the organization’s ability to unilaterally intervene into the affairs of nations merely suspected of having a “health emergency” of possible concern to other nations.”
On May 22-28, 2022, the 75th World Health Assembly at United Nations (U.N.) headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, with delegates from 194 nations, vote on the Biden administration’s amendments that will hand over national sovereignty and authority to the WHO, which during the COVID pandemic, carried the water bucket for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regarding the Wuhan lab.

There’s $25.3 billion in there for overhead and another $4.7 billion for “business system modernization” (computers). Then $15 million to create a direct e-file system to cut out TurboTax/HR Block etc (probably not a bad idea but I have no interest in e-file)
“I have no interest in e-file”
Do you think you will have a choice ? Do you have an interest in IRS goon visiting you ?
Personally, I think they will just calculate an amount and withdraw it from your digital account.
Well, before they get that far, they’re hiring . . . what was that number — 87,000 — new “agents” who will be using firearms to “enforce” whatever they’re commanded to.
We’re in for hard times, dark times, a true police state.
All enabled by the illegitimate 16th Amendment and the Federal Reserve Act.
“Taxes” are NOT legitimate, NOT “patriotic,” they are THEFT BY GOVERNMENT of your just earnings, time, and labor. And now they’ve enabled themselves to bulk up their thug arm.
Ain’t government grand? “Here’s lookin’ out fer YOU, kid!”
Good! Keep pushing Yellen! I’m not getting any younger.
God, I hate those smiling pictures of that creep, Joe Biden. But on another note, I have never seen any evidence of the oft said rhetoric that the wealthiest don’t pay “their fair share.” I believe it’s a lie.
Democrats have been handing their constituents that load of crap for years. It energizes their base.
“Government” is predicated on the vices of envy and avarice and resentment. The envy and resentment and greed of the people is turned into the power to target those they envy and resent and whose stuff they covet.
Simple and naked as that.
Well, it is and it isn’t.
Big and corporate businesses and government-private-public outfits pass on their tax burden to their customers. YOU pay their taxes.
But the people who actually rule the world and force the rest of us to pay “taxes,” do not pay “taxes.” They’re doing the robbing; everything comes to them. “Taxes” are just another way to such you and I dry.
Don’t worry. Soon, as they say, you won’t have to worry about it (if you’re among the survivors allowed to live); you’ll own nothing and be happy.
See? It’s all good. They got it all worked out fer us. Jes wait ‘n’ see! Artificial “meat,” bugs, and Soylent Green for everyone! Paradise! It’s what’s cookin’!
They will do the CCCP Social Credit rating and tie your credit and finances to your oopinion.
If for no other reason, the Republicans must win and erase this
Do you seriously believe an ‘R’ Senate would come up with 50 votes to do that..?
What else do you suggest?
So the drug dealers and the cartels, as well as all the other illegal enterprises, will have special accounts?
Or will the deep state just take them over completely, instead of just being paid protection.
You open an unintended point. IRS doesn’t audit cash hoes and drug dealers.
That is an argument for value added or sales tax where they pay tax when the buy a 80,000 dollar Escalade or a speedboat.
No. That is a straightforward argument for abolishing taxation altogether as the criminal theft and illegitimate claw of malevolence it is.
So how about just abolishing taxes completely — as they are nothing but government theft of legitimate time and labor and earnings and property — so local communities can take care of the criminals themselves?
You’re bent out of shape because some people avoid what you don’t, and you believe — through government indoctrination! — you MUST do so not to be attacked by government?
“Taxes” are neither justified nor “patriotic.” The U.S. didn’t have a federal income tax or IRS collection agency before 1913. And the 16th Amendment, which enabled all that criminality, was never properly ratified.
There are no legitimate “tax laws.” There’s only the Tax Code, and even the IRS has NO IDEA what it all is. It’s like the National Register. It’s HUGE, but no one knows what all is in it.
That’s why you’ll get different answers to seemingly simple questions about your taxes from different tax agents.
Scroll back up through the comments to Amanda, and view and read what she’s posted. You’ll be shocked to learn the truth. And hopefully educated enough to be rightfully outraged at the whole thing, and maybe enough of us can get this whole criminal enterprise deleted and prevented permanently from ever coming up again.
Look up Catherine Austin Fitts — someone posted a link to her above, too. Look up the Web site of James Corbett; he has some great resources about all this.
Also get a hold of and read G. Edward Griffin’s exhaustively documented history of all this, The Creature From Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve System.
Also, Kenneth Royce’s book, Hologram of Liberty: The Constitution’s Shocking Alliance with Big Government.
Your eyes can never close to what’s really going on — in your name! — again!
Outrage at unfair application of taxes is not the answer. Eliminating taxation to begin with is the only fair and just answer.
Ok, well as a PMP, this is farcical and understanding the entropy of a behemoth government, apparently no technical road map, and no idea about implementation, I give them 1 chance in infinity of successfully completing this project within 100 years. No fear here.
Go Ron …
Google has plenty of resources to pull it off. Probably has been working on things for several years already.
With Brandon …
China’s already implementing it. So what’s the problem?
After the I R S has confiscated all real and personal property, You will own nothing and be happy. Gee, where have I heard that before today? Hint WEF
The IRS can take your property if they declare you to be a collection of taxes risk. like Troodolt took bank accounts from truckers.
If you do a little investigating (maybe you already have? A very good thing!) you’ll see it’s all of a piece.
I have written this repeatedly here and outside of here….read ‘A Viable Democracy’ written by I believe Michael Margolis…this book, which I read in 1981 discusses a computerized democracy. That democracy is run or controlled by an elite that has access to all of its citizenry’s data..including any and all purchases…and can thereupon control that citizenry through the use of that data..
The elite was small in number…
I remember in my paper declaiming that no citizenry would ever permit their givt to institute such a system let ine live under one… I even went so far as to nauvely state that if that dud in fact occur I would then insist upon being one of the elite…
Well here we are more than 40 yrs layer…the U S citizenry are not only permitting such a system to exist within our beloved Country, it is almost as though these digital obsessed citizenry are actually welcoming it… AND… sadly…I am not one of the few elite
I just read about this and shake my head and utter WTAF…..
Also
my typing stinks…so sorry for the misspells that I missed!!!!
Well, you know, it’s a very small club, and none of us is in it. ;-D
“It can’t happen here!” And yet, it is.
But at least you have a grasp of what’s going on. Thank you.
Are people really going to comply with the environmental aspect of it? Really?
A lot of people really believe they have to save the planet and will endlessly check their phones to tally their virtue. I bet we get to pay reparations, too.
The area around me continues to have businesses that are no cash enterprises. Rather than use my debit/credit cards I carry a cash/gift card purchased from the kiosk (usually for $200) for these transactions. When I can its cash only but for travel & crowds where identity theft occurs it’s a safeguard.
Excellent advice.
I am not sure that the gift cards provide the anonymity you are assuming. They all are digitized. They all have identifying numbers. There is a record in a database that matches store to card and card’s number. The store keeps an inventory of the cards in stock and those sold. The store has a record of your purchase and whether you purchased the gift card with cash (anonymous) or credit or check.
I’m a cash customer at a Walmart or Kroger store in a town near where I live. I started this to reduce the theft of credit cards by scanners when traveling. Then for online purchases after having my cards compromised. Foolproof, No. Feelgood, Yes.
Remember the Zero Hedge motto. “On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.”
You can get RFID-proof pouches and card sleeves for your phone (which should always be turned completely off — Power Off — while you’re out and about/traveling, not just Airplane Mode) and cards. Prevents access by scanners. I never leave home without my phone and cards protected in them, even locally.
Wonder how many bullets 87k new ‘Auditors’ are gonna need?
I’m involved in the construction industry where virtually ALL General contractors, Subcontractors, and Labor operate on a CASH basis. The industry probably pays 15% of the taxes they legitimately owe. Oh! And here in CA? The vast majority of the construction industry is made up of illegal immigrant labor … from Chinese to Guatamalan, to Congolese. And as a BONUS! This all cash business paves the way for most of these workers to report NO or very low income … so they are collecting the maximum amount of welfare possible, including foodstamps … along with their cash under the table.
So let’s summarize:
In all honesty … if the IRS wanted to “find” a shitload of unpaid taxes … just start “lifestyle auditing” all the illegals scamming a living in the construction industry. We’d no longer have a deficit.
Ooops! If you did that … you’d have a shitload of pissed off hombres. Hombres who might just stop illegally voting Democrat. So … instead of going after the REAL cheats who don’t pay their fair share … Biden’s goons will go after small LEGITIMATE businesses.
Labor is cash..You save on employer FICA etc taxes, unemployment taxes, Workmans comp insurance.
NO ONE LEGITIMATELY OWES TAXES!!!
No one. Taxation is nothing more than theft BY GOVERNMENT of a person’s time, labor, and earnings.
NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO THAT!
It’s NOT “cheating” to KEEP WHAT IS YOURS!!!
It’s NOT “patriotic” to let “government” take WHAT IS NOT THEIRS!!!
Seriously who wants to live in the world they are building? Who are they building it for?
Slaves. Happy slaves.
99.9999 % of the existing IRS agents and the thousands of new Biden handler IRS agents are apolitical, unbiased, incorruptible, extremely fair and very professional. (need I add sarc/)
So, P Trump and “MAGA” Conservatives can relax and obediently pay their fair share of taxed earnings to fund the “MEGA” wealth that the non taxed elite Democrats and their business partners have and will acquire from the latest Green (as in money) Omnibus Bill.
On March 9, 2022, the Joe signed EO 14067 without ANY knowledge or input from Congress or we the people.
The very lengthy and technical EO lays down the framework for Treasury, the IRS, and the FED to dissolve the dollar and replace it with a government-controlled digital currency.
Apparently some of the plans for this takeover are now occurring in secret so that the ‘transition’ to a digital currency will happen seamlessly.
So, no wonder when comparing a football-sized stadium holding 87,000 people represents the number of new and armed IRS agents, CPAs, and graduate school accounts ready to invade and harass the middle class American and when ‘transitioned’ take away our dollars only to culturally control us through a digital currency.
Remember what tax enforcers were called in the early 20th century? REVENUERS! That’s right, they were armed IRS agents who had the power and might of the US government behind them to enforce and abuse Americans.
That’s EXACTLY what the CCP has done in China! Except they employ party zealots, thugs, to enforce government order.
Is digital face recognition next for us, too? Only those controlling the Joe know for sure. But if the China template is carried out to its absurdity our faces will be showing up on a spy camera really soon all over America.
Courage, integrity, and liberty. Let us never forget what those words connote … THE AMERICAN FREE SPIRIT.
Remember, they can never take away our individual freedom because we are FREE in God’s Right Ways through faith in Jesus Christ!
And illegitimately and UNBIBLICLY taxed to death!
They want to destroy the Middle and lower classes
Texas Ranchers Who Experienced Brutal IRS Audit Issue Dire Warning to Middle-Class Americans

When demonrats are in power they put pedal to the floor and go into overdrive. When folks are shocked from their comas enough they express frustration enough to where they are allowed to “elect” GOPricks. When GOPricks in power they might slow it down to 3rd gear for a noticeable, “see we are different” view, but the ship is still moving “forward”. Trump came in and actually tried to reverse things a bit. He is lucky he hasn’t been JFKd……yet.
I’ve been transitioning for the past couple of years from using debt/credit cards to using cash and coin. I’ve also been purchasing silver and gold.
I now have an encrypted email server that I pay for because privacy matters. (someone should tell that to Hillary).
I know nothing is foolproof, but it’s better than bending the knee to these digital globalists.
or any globalist for that matter!
In my view, it’s a wake up call.
They want the middle class money. It’s where the easy non loophole money is. The mega billion dollar donor class money is off limits, politically protected, and they need to payoff their voter class with middle class money.
So, why are self-described “patriots” allowing it?
How about FULL audits on every member of CONgress & the Senate including everyone in the Xiden Regime including Mao Xiden. Then start tracking the BILLION$ (untaxed) by ILLEGALS and drug cartels and their bankers. Start there that WILL be full-time jobs!
Rather, how about abolishing taxation, period?!
How about repealing the 16th Amendment and the Federal Reserve Act, for starters? How about ending the Federal Income Tax, its thug collection agency, the IRS, and the enabler of all and the crook outfit above all, the Federal Reserve System?
Then almost every single “legislator,” “executive,” and most of the “judicial” parasites will be dropped into the black hole of oblivion!
We actually COULD BE free in this country if only AMERICANS would wake up and realize they are SUPPORTING a criminal enterprise that robs them of their time, their labor, their earnings, their property, their freedoms, rights, and liberties, their dignity as human beings created in their Creator’s image, and their lives and those of their families’!!!
Why do we allow it, and tell each other it’s legal and “patriotic” to hand over what is ours, at gun point, whether you see the gun in any particular instance or not, and NOT anyone else’s, ESPECIALLY the thugs’ we call “our government”!!!
Why?!
If only Americans would join together in a nationwide tax revolt…
our collective compliance is our weakness and it will be our downfall.
Target seems to be experiencing what can be done. Maybe the idea is to just refuse to engage in their racket of commerce. And, in some ways that is a tax revolt (sales tax). The local folks lose tax monies. Yes, they will make it up somewhere else, but it does hurt them.
Exactly! Thank you!!!
There are over 200,000,000 million of us. If we would only realize the real power we have!
I just wish they’d quit fiddling around and just take our money from us.
I’m tired of waiting for the hammer to drop. Quit trying to justify the unjustifiable, grow a pair, and get on with it.
I will, of course, resist your thievery with every tool at my disposal.
The income tax effectively *created* the distinction between employer/employee. We were once a culture of farmers, tradesmen and craftsmen trading goods and services between each other.
By creating the adversarial employee/employer relationship, and getting them both to rat out the other, they can cross check all the numbers.
The goal, as always, has been to criminalize “self-employment” (an oximoron). This goal is near fully achieved now in California. All part of a larger goal including criminalizing self-defense, to criminalize self-sufficiency, and ultimately independance itself.
Yes. It’s a sad testimony that you aren’t up-voted to the thousands! I wish I could up-vote you to that much!
Thank you.
In our federal government system, the Executive Branch exists to implement laws enacted by Congress. The Constitution (Art. I, §8, Cl. 17) and SCOTUS (Foley Bros., Inc. v Filardo, U.S. v Spelar, Caha v U.S.) state that the jurisdiction/authority of Congress is restricted to the District of Columbia, U.S. Territories and Possessions, and properties purchased within and by permission of the 50 Union states for forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings. SCOTUS makes it clear that the laws of Congress do not extend anywhere else within the geographical boundaries of the 50 Union states. Where Congress has no jurisdiction/authority, neither does the Executive Branch including the DOJ, FBI, IRS, ATF, DHS, etc. The U.S. Code in Title 4, §72 emphasizes that “All offices attached to the seat of government shall be exercised in the District of Columbia, and not elsewhere, except as otherwise expressly provided by law.” No such law(s) is/are found to exist. 28 C.F.R. §0.56 states that the DOJ’s Criminal Division “has jurisdiction over offenses committed upon lands acquired by the United States.” PERIOD! NOWHERE ELSE!! For those who insist there’s more to it than that, kindly provide the authority cites in support of your opinions!
Thank you!!!
Went to recover my PIN to efile taxes. They wanted to collect all kinds of biometric data. Enjoy the paper returns commies.
Start using cash.
During covid, a guy set up an ice cream truck in the local park. Made thousands in cash until the town ran him off. Get creative.
Yeah. Can’t make a living or provide goods or services to those who WANT THEM without getting “permission” from “government” and cutting them in on what they did NOTHING to earn!!!
It’s a scam and nothing but theft!
PLEASE, people, wake up and see the truth!!! Government is NOT your friend and protector. Government is your enemy and parasite! And so, what is it good for? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
The IRS seems incapable of transitioning to digital currency. After decades and tens of billions of dollars trying to update their computer systems they have failed miserably. They will still be transitioning to digital when I am long gone.
40 Years of Failure: IRS Unable to Fix Computer System – Americans for Tax Reform (atr.org)
Why in the world would anyone want to “reform” taxation?!
Why in the world would anyone want taxation in any form?!
Why not “Americans for Tax Abolition As Soon As Possible”?! “Americans for Complete and Permanent Repeal of the 16th Amendment, the Federal Income Tax, and the Thug IRS Agency”? Why not Americans for No Taxes?
What in the world are you thinking?! Do YOU believe you have a right to someone else’s labor, time, and earnings? If you do, why? If not, why try to fix something that shouldn’t exist in the first place — and will NEVER be fixed, because it can’t be?! Except for whom? Entitled and armed parasites, thugs, and thieves?! WHY would any good American want such a thing?!
This is going to make the IRS’s targeting of Tea Party members just a testing of the waters.
If we allow them to have that power over us, we deserve what comes next.
Joe Yellin’ is probably going to use the Obamacare web developers to upgrade the IRS from MS-DOS to Windows Vista.
C’mon man! Put Hunty on the job; smartest guy you know and a computer whiz.
No need. China already has the whole system in place.
The technology already exists and is fully functional in the People’s Republic of China. They will gladly sell it to the USA and implement it on behalf of the central bank mafia who runs the world. American taxpayers are handing their government the shackles to place on their wrists and ankles.
We are getting closer and closer to the government having a successful way to implement “The Mark of the Beast” technology in modern life. It’s amazing that the Bible, which was written over 2,000 years ago predicted this.
Soon, if you have not done everything that is expected of you by Big Brother, you will be disconnected from your bank accounts. Trudeau already did this to those who were protesting the vaccine mandates in Canada. Will the US soon be under a “Social Credit System” like they have in China? In China right now, if you don’t comply with everything the government says, including not criticizing The Party, you will not have a high enough social score to be allowed to travel, ride public transit or put your children in school. The ability for the government to easily punish people and deny access to commerce or banking will get streamlined by the new technology that Sundance warns us is coming in the US.
They’re probably still using IBM 1410 software from the 1950’s. The IRS has struggled to update technology and is always over budget and underdelivering in that regard. The problem is their IT requirements are enormous and their upgrade track record is not great. The amount of upgrade dollars draws the IT vultures like flies: “Oh look, we just spent 2 billion and we’re only half done…”
Don’t forget the people they hire will have to fill specific quotas of various sorts – which will make getting people that can actually move the ball forward very difficult.
Try lifting your head above the propaganda and look around you to what is actually happening — good place to start is what China is doing and has been doing for a few decades now.
DUH.
The people the IRS is hiring now are expected to shoot their fellow Americans on command. And the U.S. government and its IRS thugs are not calling the shots, the “elites” of world — the Bilderbergers, the Davos, the TriLaterals, the CFR, the WEF, the CENTRAL BANKS, are. You’re just paying for your own enslavement and death if you step out of line.
Can we all just STOP using our credit cards for all of our purchases? When I’m in the supermarket, and see someone paying for even the smallest of grocery purchases with their card….proudly letting the scanner scan their phone or card, I cannot believe the blind stupidity. Cash. FFS, use cash as much as you possible can.
