If only our founding fathers could see us now. I bet they would be shocked to learn that
freedom loving Americans would allow a tax collecting agency the ability to codify
political speech and monitor our health care choices. Would incredulity be the right word?
One thing I’m sure they wouldn’t be surprised by is
the outright corruption and abuses of a government agency that has the power to
destroy our lives. Tax collectors weren’t
beloved community organizers during the revolutionary period. Some were beaten, tarred and feathered and
had their property destroyed. And
without a doubt, many of those revenuers had the disposition of a Lois Lerner.
When our Constitution was ratified by the States,
delegates demanded a bill of rights as a means to protect their citizens from abuses
by a central government and their agents.
Now we have one of their oprichnikis pleading the Fifth Amendment.
Lois Lerner,
an IRS operative, used her office to harass and intimidate persons and
political organizations she disagreed with.
Incriminating emails substantiate these charges. This corruption extends all the way to
Washington D.C. The commissioner of the
IRS refuses to hand over documents to Congress.
We can only assume it leads to the White House.
Considering that the Bill of Rights was designed to
limit the powers of the federal government, we must ask ourselves why one of
their agents is entitled to plead the fifth, especially in cases where there
has been a demonstrated abuse of power. After all, wasn’t the Bill of Rights designed
to protect us from them?
