Gutting the power of the IRS

In our January report, we quoted
from the[court] decision,

“...absent an effort to seek enforcement through
a federal court, IRS summonses apply no force to
taxpayers, and no consequence whatever can befall
a taxpayer who refuses, ignores, or otherwise
does not comply with an IRS summons until that
summons is backed by a federal court order…[a
taxpayer] cannot be held in contempt, arrested,
detained, or otherwise punished for refusing to
comply with the original IRS summons, no matter
the taxpayer's reasons, or lack of reasons for so
refusing.”

Had a summons once. Ignored it then, will ignore
all others.

So now you've got some legal backing.

Legal beagles can see the details here.

Edit:

Statists will whine, moan and shout...

...all to no avail.

I'm looking forward to the show.
