Stephen Lawrence suggestion on gas tax presupposes integrity in government
which cannot exist because the political animal cannot be tamed or constricted
by money. Money unleashes the beast. The beast must be starved.
Last year a seemingly nebulous bill passed as an " adder" to some law. The
wording simply stated some feel good need for " jobs creation". Buried deep in
the understanding of this adder permitted the IRS to " farm out" collections of
past due taxes to private collectors.
Enter a new realm of " privatizing". Law firms are opening offices in
Washington in droves to get some of this " easy money"
Supposedly there are 9 billion dollars in " low hanging fruit" to be
plucked off the money tree for an estimated cost of collection of 1 billion.
Why? You say, doesn't the IRS spend the 1 billion to collect the 9?.
Well , it seems there is more like an estimated 350 billion in potential
taxes that can be " wrung out" of the system using the proper scare tactics.
Remember one is guilty till proven innocent in tax court.
Add to this, the transfer of confidential records from IRS files to " law
firms" and the ingredients for a "witches brew" are ready for the kettle. The
entire process can be "offshored" to India.
The collection " agent" get a percentage of the take as an inducement. in
other words, a protection racket.
