A Letter to the IRS
mid-afternoon on Tuesday, the 10th of March 2009 by Katie
Actual ‘Letter to the Editor’ from the February 5th edition of the
Wichita Falls, Texas Times Record News…
Dear IRS,
I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to pay taxes owed April 15, but all is not lost.
I have paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax, CDL tax, cigarette tax, corporate income tax, dog license tax, federal income tax, unemployment tax, gasoline tax, hunting license tax, fishing license tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor tax, luxury tax, Medicare tax, city, school and county property tax (up 33 percent last 4 years), real estate tax, social security tax, road usage tax, toll road tax, state and city sales tax, recreational vehicle tax, state franchise tax, state unemployment tax, telephone federal excise tax, telephone federal state and local surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone state and local tax, utility tax, vehicle license registration tax, capitol gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment tax, Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico sales tax, and many more that I can’t recall but I have run out of space and money.
When you do not receive my check April 15, just know that it is an honest mistake. Please treat me the same way you treated Congressmen Charles Rangle, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom Dashelle and, of course, your boss Timothy Geithner. No penalties and no interest.
P.S. I will make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my stimulus check.

I had to find the letter, once I heard Mr. Barnett interviewed on Glenn Beck.
It is the letter that I wished that I had the nerve to write.
What the idiots in Washington are failing to note, is that a growing number of us are reaching the tax “breaking point”. We see them at the tax trough, feeding like the big, gluttonous pigs that they are, as they knowingly squander the futures of our children.
There was tarp I, tarp II, stimulus, and now the “budget”. And Pelosi is talking about the probable necessity of another stimulus…
Maybe, what they are stimulating is a revolt. Because I’ve bloody well had it with their spendthrift ways.

that is a great find.. and you have to wonder how many American’s might make such a stand.. I am sure it would flood the IRS, and overwhelm the heck out of them.. it would take forever for them to keepup/catch up with all those who follow in the government’s foodstamps.. err footsteps.

I like the tea party movement. They are too funny. I had posted a video about one of them. More info in tea parties is also at Michelle Malkin’s site.
And just to show how far we’ve diverged from our roots, a tea party was banned in Cedar Rapids, due to the environmental damage that tea in water creates.

Yes, it seems as though, even tea – a completely “natural” product, is environmentally hazardous. Maybe the should charge for the damage that the Boston Tea Party created…. Reparations from tea damage….
And, it isn’t just the dems. I feel even more betrayed by the Reps. Dems spend. That’s what they do. But the Reps. They tried to out dem the dems in their spending…
ahhhhh

GEITHNER & RANGEL TO BE SUBPOENAED IN TAX FRAUD CASE
Federal Case Alleges Political Elite Get Favorable Tax Treatment Over Ordinary Citizens
On 5 March 2009 a Motion was filed in U.S. v. David Jacquot, Case # CR 08-1171, in the Federal District Court, in San Diego, California seeking to dismiss a false tax return indictment on the grounds that the Defendant was not treated in the same manner as politically prominent individuals. A hearing on this matter is set for 30 March 2009 in San Diego and the Defendant in this case intends to subpoena Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, and others.
The Defendant in this case is David Jacquot, an attorney and retired Army Officer. He is a decorated disabled Desert Storm veteran living in rural Idaho with his family.
This “Geithner Motion” cites HR 735 titled the “Rangel Rule Act of 2009,” which if enacted, would eliminate penalties and interest for common citizens to allow them to be treated in the same manner as House Ways and Means Chairman Representative Charles Rangel. The Geithner Motion also quotes President Obama stressing the need to “treat common citizens in the same manner as politically prominent individuals in regards to tax matters”.
The Geithner Motion details how Mr. Jacquot was vindictively indicted in retaliation for his successful defense of his clients against the IRS. The tax returns of his corporate law firm for the four (4) years of 2001 to 2004 were investigated and the government alleges that the law firm declared almost $200,000 TOO MUCH income during this time period. The Geithner Motion contains descriptions of numerous actions by the government and Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) Faith Devine that are the basis for the claim of retaliation against Mr. Jacquot for his zealous representation of his client’s Constitutional and statutory rights. The improper actions of AUSA Devine have been reported to the DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility for disciplinary action and are currently under review.
