                          THE IRS WANTS YOU


The story of the Internal Revenue Service is a history of a tax collection
agency drunk with power, ruthlessly smashing dissent among its own
personnel and brazenly roughing up taxpayers at will.  The IRS defies and
intimidates its Congressional creatores to go virtually unchallenged in its
blatant illegal exercise of awesome powers against the American public.

It should be remembered that our American system of constitutional free
enterprise is the envy of the people of the world.  We love our country
and its traditions, but such love carries a responsibility to protect the
integrity of the system from the excessive use of power and abuse of
civil rights.

Recent developments show the mechanics of our system to be dangerously "out
of sync", our oversized bureaucracy is sick, bloated with confiscated fruits
of the labor and the property of the people.  The federal establishment is
slipping alarmingly close to totalitarianism.

The violations of the rights of American people today by their own government
are ironically parallel to the injustices suffered by the Colonists in the
years preceding the Revolutionary War.

The IRS has deserted its role as servant to the people.  They have created
for themselves a new charter of nit-picking and captious regulations.  It
has taken upon itself the role of master and intimidator of the public.  As
one woman, who was waiting at the IRS accounting office, put it, "The IRS
is getting like the Gestapo was in Germany!  When you hear their name, you
get scared."

The people of this country are AFRAID; they are frightened by this runaway
arm of the government which has powers that no business or no other
government agency would dare claim or use.

- Only the IRS can attach 100% of a tax debtor's wages and/or property
- Only the IRS can invade the privacy of a citizen without court process
  of any kind
- Only the IRS can seize property without a court order
- Only the IRS can force a citizen to try his case in a special court
  governed by the IRS
- Only the IRS can compel production of documents, records, and other
  materials without a court case being in existence.
- Only the IRS can with impunity publish a citizen's debt to the IRS
- Only the IRS can legally, without a court order, subject citizens to
  electronic surveillance.
- Only the IRS can force waiver of Statute of Limitation and other citizen
  rights through power of arbitrary assessment.
- Only the IRS uses extralegal coercion.  Threats to witnesses to examine
  their taxes regularly produces whatever evidence the IRS dictates.
- Only the IRS is free to violate a written agreement with a citizen.
- Only the IRS uses reprisals against citizens and public officials alike.
- Only the IRS can take property on the basis of conjecture.
- Only the IRS is free to maintain lists of citizens guilty of no crime for
  the purpose of harassing and monitoring them.
- Only the IRS envelops all citizens.
- Only the IRS publicly admits that its purpose is to instill fear into the
  citizenry as a technique of performing its function.

The citizens of the US are angry, because their constitutional and civil
rights are being ignored for the mere convenience of the tax collector.
They are outraged by an agency of government which tramples on the
Constitution in order to provice smooth sailing for the functionaries and
the henchmen of the IRS.

The IRS is an extraordinary example of the end justifying the means.  The
means of this agency is GROWTH.  Like a fungus the IRS lives by growing, by
consuming, by expanding.  And what it grows on is us.  It is interesting that
the revenue officers within the IRS refer to taxpayers as "inventory"!

There is only one justification or explanation for this incredible expansion
of the IRS into areas far removed from its legitimate duty as tax collector.
The IRS embodies the political realities of the selfish human desire to
dominate others.  Thus, the end of this gigantic pretense of officialdom
is POWER, pure and simple.  The meek may inherit the earth, but they will
never receive a promotion in an agency where efficiency is measured by the
number of seizures of taxpayer's property and by the number of citizens and
businesses driven into bankruptcy.

 From: davidson@mcnc.org (Brian Neal Davidson)
 Subject: VA State police before RFK show
  
 At 11 am, myself and 2 of my friends were traveling up from Durham NC to see
 the Dead in DC. At the toll booth in Petersburg we were approached by a few VA
 state police officers who were asking people questions as they paid their
 tolls.  When we pulled up, they asked us where we were coming from and where
 we were going.  We told them we were going to DC and when the trooper asked
 why, we told them we were visiting a friend and attending a concert.  My
 friend Jim, who was driving was as polite and helpful as possible.  When the
 trooper asked if we were going to the Dead show, Jim replied "yes" and we were
 immediately told to pull the car over to the side of the road.
  
 During the next 20 minutes, we had our car, pockets, luggage and any and
 every container opened and checked.  The cop was rude and even though we
 were very cooperative, he continued to be rude.  No other cars were being
 checked besides us, so it was obvious that they didn't like the looks of
 us. Jim has a beard and ear ring, Mike has a pony tail and I'm overweight.
 The fact that we were doing nothing illegal or carrying nothing illegal did
 not ease us in knowing that we had been humiliated and our rights were
 violated. We also got the feeling that they just wanted to have a reason to
 put cuffs on us and take us away if we gave them any crap.
  
 The cop kept saying stuff to us like "you guys like the Grateful Dead, where
 do you keep your drugs?" and "you better not have anything in here that
 will cut me" (while he was going thru my toiletree bag).  After we had been
 humiliated and our stuff messed up, the cop didn't apologize or thank us
 for our politeness, but said "I'll see you boys on the way back".
  
 I guess this experience has made me realize what people in countries like
 South Africa and in Eastern Europe go through  on a regular basis.  There
 was nothing "American" about the behavior of the VA state police. I can only
 hope that the people of VA realize this and do something about it before more
 people are violated and this country begins to resemble the countries of the
 world that we commonly criticize for their treatment of their citizens.

                   [Ren & Stimpy picture here]


I wake up and there's a map in my pocket, folded small like a paperback,
but not so thick.  I unfold it and it's a map of a test site of some
kind. I look down, the sand is glass under my feet. I look up, the sky
is pale powder blue. There's some buildings off to my left. Glass crunching
under my feet, I head that way.

The house is deserted. Weird, the windows and doors are intact. The siding
looks a little worn, but the electric light near the door is on. When I
reach for the door it opens on its own accord and I walk in.

The living room (first thing after the door) is a little dusty, but
everything looks like it's holding up all right. A newspaper sits crumpled
like a badly pitched tent.  I pick it up, and see it's from a couple weeks
ago. Before things began getting weird. I sit down in the overstuffed
chair and flip though the pages. I'm reading the funnies when I hear footsteps
from what looks like the kitchen.

It's a man smoking a pipe and wearing a broad brimmed hat. He's almost
worryingly thin, but there's no weakness in him. He looks worried about
something, but it's apparently not a single worry. He walks into the
living room and turns on the radio.  A Talking Heads song is playing,
a little staticky, but coming though ok.  I thank god he's tuned to
an AOR station. He walks around the living room twice before addressing me.

"There's a reason you showed up here, son.  You know that."

"I had a hunch," I say, trying to look cool, not looking up from the
paper.

"There's a box for you over there." He says. I have to look up from the
paper to see where he's gesturing.  The box is wrapped with tape, and
looks like something you'd get from UPS. It's addressed to me, c/o this
house (I run outside to check the address. Yes, this is the address on
the package.).  I find a pocket knife and cut away the tape.  More than
a little anxious now, I almost shred the lid trying to get it off.

There's two packs of gum, an easter card, a cassette tape and player,
several pieces of loose paper, a t-shirt, a pair of large gumboots,
a small pouch with some rocks in it, and a note.

He looks down at me, and doesn't say a damn thing.
