Not 'Claims'. It annoys the hell outta me that nutcase scare rags type this stuff up.. the acts are atrocious enough in their own right.. they don't need the spin. Just straight Cronkite reporting would be appropriate.
Yes, we've now got a damn tax agency acting like they are Gestapo in our own country, doing smash and grab home and business invasions for alleged 100 dollar tax infringements or paper processing errors.
They are usually very selective in who they assault.. they go after folks that cannot muster the financial resources to survive the protracted legal battles it'll take to recover their property. The mainstream media seems to put a blind eye to it.
One favorite trick is the 'turn-over'.. they trump up a bogus charge, threaten to impound property and yank the license UNLESS 'you give us somebody bigger'. That's exactly how Ruby Ridge went down.
BATF is not the only cowboyed up federal agency.. who in hell authorized the FAA ramp rats and bearu of weights and meaures guys to 'go in armed'? Can yah believe it.. the guys checking gas pumps and STC's are armed like swat teams.
Your Federal Government at Work, screwing the citizens, intimidating citizens, framing citizens, confiscating private property at the drop of a hat, trashing legitimate businesses, shooting pregnant wives, stomping kittens into the mud... for 'suspicion' of not paying a $200 tax.
All true. All disgustingly, sickeningly true.
