oops... more IRS corruption...

So now finding some money in the middle of a department restructuring is corruption? Well guess any department is corrupt then. Nobody explains where the money comes from, so it could just as likely be that they are stalling some modernisation project or so and using the money from it to try and curve the understaffing. If it was from corruption, then it would mean there is now less corruption now no? Overall money stays the same but suddenly more people get from the pie = less corrupt money!

 

Reminds me kinda at our government, claiming we could do with x% less public workers but when you look at each department up till the individual person, they find nobody they can do without and actually all demand more employees. Heck perhaps they just used the already budgetted money from workers they had to sack last year to get new ones this year.

 

PS. what is this graph of "U.S. Department of the Treasury Spending"? That thing flunctuates like mad and has a figure in the hundreds of billions $$, if that is a budget like it says it is, I want to question that departments accountants

 

 

..so you want to give him the power to change laws to his personal benefit...

Ummm, President cannot actually make laws, even though the current one sure does try by executive fiat, I mean executive order. President can't even put legislation on the floor for the House and Senate to debate. He/She is forced to work with the members of Congress, and after it's passed, has only three options. Sign it, veto it, or ignore it (in which case, it becomes law after some time, 28 days, IIRC).

 

If Trump were to win the presidency, I don't see the libel laws changing, because I don't see the members of Congress actively working with him to do that. IMO, the members of Congress are out for their own interests only, and if it doesn't serve them somehow, they won't go for it.

 

so he is just claiming bollocks? He is starting to sound like a politician then

 

>_>

It's not that simple. The IRS was caught targeting Obama's political enemies... this is not a maybe, it's a fact. The House of Representatives cut their funding as punishment. Koskinen cried poverty, he could not run the agency on a shoestring budget, he would have to cut personnel and slash services... "OMG! The American taxpayers will SUFFER!"

 

Low and behold, under such anemic cash flow, they were able to afford to hire between 600 and 700 new enforcement employees... which means he was lying... again.

Since the Republican nomination has been decided... I think it's time to move on from this thread. In honor of all our wonderful time on these 23 pages... let's have a laugh on the things to come...

meh 600 à 700 for an USA sized department? They cry understaffness here with a higher number. Your Pentagon is crying for $$ aswell but just this week I noticed a new unmanned floating boat being christened, shall we knoose up some generals aswell?

 

yes the IRC hit mostly republican affilated groups, most of the Tea Party association which you could even call a rather new and mostly splinter side. Halfly then its understandable that they would go for all the new faces on there radar, halfly its blatant "we don't have a Rep president, lets go hunt some Rep" mentality I'd imagine is rampant in your two-party system. Give me odds on Trump (or any Rep) becomming President, Sanders folks splintering and forming thousands of likewise groups and some part of the IRC going after all those new faces >_>.

The Republican Party made my vote easy. With Trump getting the nomination, I am officially done with them. I voted with the party the past two elections when I wasn't a huge fan of the nominees, and done doing it anymore. Though it wasn't just Trump, I'd Cruz got the nomination I would likely feel the same way, maybe a slight chance I'd vote for Cruz, but nonetheless I wanted neither of them. And no, I won't be voting from Clinton either, my money and support will be going to the Libertarian Party. The GOP is sinking ship, and Trump is leading it. There is so many friends, family, acquaintances that basically said they cannot vote for Trump. Likely not voting or voting 3rd party. I think that's going to be what we see nationwide. I expect some of the lowest Republican turn out, and many normally Republican and even democrat votes being split between :rd parties.

I will feel a lot better about Trump if he makes a good VP choice. Either way, I have to vote against Clinton. She is terrible.

Bad as Hillary may be, I'm not sure Trump is any better. He's been rich his whole life. He's done many things that are supposedly against his principles for profit and personal gain. He's probably not far from being in the 1% himself. Now he'll prioritize principle and focus on helping everyone else purely out of the kindness of his heart? Heh, okay, sure. xD

I don't pretend to like Trump. I liked three other Republican candidates more than him and voted for another one of them in my primary. As much as I don't care for Trump, I like Clinton a LOT less. She is as corrupt as they come and shouldn't be allowed within a mile of the Oval Office. If Trump makes a good VP choice I will be more at ease when voting.

If only Bernie Sanders could be his VP. I'd vote for a Trump/Sanders ticket over Hillary/whoever.

His VP pick is the most important decision, and will make or break his run. Many are speculating about who this will be. Will he choose a female Hispanic Governor? John Kasich for Ohio? Marco Rubio for Hispanics and Florida? Newt Gingrich for political and conservative cred? The list goes on and on.

 

Donald Trump is not a stupid man... he knows how important this is, and I don't believe he's gonna play this in a conventional way. His goal is to crush the Democrats Blue Wall, and attack the Electoral map that will decide who the President is. The way to do that is with overwhelming popularity. I still believe Rudi Giuliani is his ace in the hole. He's immensely popular, a life long New Yorker, was at one time considered the odds on favorite to be President, and has been his friend for 25 years. It's such an obvious choice to me.

America's tax law is terrible. It is complicated, convoluted, and corrupt and the IRS is part of the problem. The entire thing needs to be overhauled. By simplifying our tax codes the entire process can be a lot less painless and make more sense. Cutting the IRS would also be a good start for cutting costs.

A friend if mine, immigrant, owns few garage shops, tells me tax law is the biggest pain point of his life.
