Patrick -- you are TOTALLY IGNORANT about the IRS. Let me school you and disgrace you at the same time.

Patrick's ignorant statement: "u said the that ARMED IRS agents... That is what I had issue with. Sure if you dodge taxes, they come get you... but normally its in coordination with a local sheriff"

Here is the IRS special agent job description -- read slowly Patrick (pay attention to part "Applicants must carry and use a firearm.")

"Special Agent Qualifications: All applicants must be United States citizens. This is a Federal Law Enforcement position....Applicants must carry and use a firearm. A valid driver's license is required." (Source: http://jobs.irs.gov/midcareer/cisa-qualifications.html)

Now let's destroy you "sheriff" claim -- that's MORE ignorance from you -- and please note: "only federal agency that can investigate potential criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code."

IRS Criminal Investigation (CI) is comprised of approximately 4,100 employees worldwide, approximately 2,700 of whom are special agents whose investigative jurisdiction includes tax, money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act laws... IRS is the only federal agency that can investigate potential criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code. (Source:

Let's look at a couple of intellectually dishonest statements from Patrick. Let me know how much embarassment you can take, OK bud?

* "...the bullets story is BS" : Let's see the truth from Reuters: "The Department of Homeland Security is rushing to finish the acquisition of 750 million rounds of high-power ammunition..." (Source: Jason Reed/Reuters: http://rt.com/usa/news/dhs-ammo-rounds-security-560/)

* "...The Obamacare and IRS, please." (says Patrick): "Policing Obamacare, America's Newest Tax" by By Elizabeth Dwoskin/Bloomberg July 05, 2012: "...the IRS has to enforce 47 tax provisions under Obamacare. ...the IRS is already struggling to keep up with its regular duties. Every year an estimated $385 billion in taxes goes uncollected because of tax evasion, according to the agency’s own figures. Often when Congress calls for a change, the IRS’s computer programmers botch it; glitches affect millions of taxpayers annually." (Source: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-07-05/policing-obamacare-americas-newest-tax

* "...Drones? on US citizens." (says Patrick): "By 2020, the FAA expects 30,000 unmanned aerial vehicles...to be peering down on U.S. soil...Predator drones — the same remote-controlled, camera-equipped aircraft used to hunt terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan — have been patrolling U.S. borders since 2005."

PATRICK I just wanted to tell you that it was nice to see an intelligent argument. The only mistake I think you made was giving Joe to much credit by saying he had the intellectual level of a 12 year old boy. I would say that was an insult to 12 year old boys.lol
It's a;so nice to see a man who respects his wife as well.
As I have said I never mind if someone doesn't agree with me. I only ask that people come to their conclusions with and educated and open mind. This guy is one of the worst on here. He is just bitter and hates everyone.
