If IRS Can Scare 200 Million Taxpayers, US Government Can Rid The Country of 12 Million Illegal Aliens




[From article]
Every year the 89,000 employees of the Internal Revenue Service attempt to enforce the tax laws for well over 200 million taxpayers. Obviously this is impossible and taxpayers could ignore the law with near impunity. Yet, they don’t. Somehow the IRS persuades the vast majority of the taxpayers to pay up.
If the IRS said that it would be inhumane to prosecute tax scofflaws because they have children that need to eat and that most tax scofflaws are good people who have run into hard times, what would happen? What would happen is that the population of tax scofflaws would explode. The tax scofflaws would become shrouded in moral legitimacy. Any attempt by the IRS to step up enforcement would be seen as brutal oppression against good people.
[. . .]



The IRS has tyrannical powers that are probably constitutional only because judges depend on the U.S. Treasury to pay their salaries.
[. . .]
If the IRS feels free to intimidate 200 million taxpayers by outrageous methods why should we be reluctant to use some of the same methods on the illegals?
[. . .]
The government does not have to prosecute everyone; just make public examples of a small number of cases. Many measures can be framed as taxes, for example, a $100 a day tax for each day a visitor overstays his visa. Taxes are easier to enforce than criminal sanctions.
[. . .]
The sanctuary city movement can be defanged by directing substantial revenue to cities that enforce immigration laws. For example, fines paid by illegals that are caught by local authorities can be paid to cities that do not welcome illegals.
The story that it is somehow difficult to deport 12 million people is a self-serving myth propagated by the political alliance that wants the illegals here.
[. . .]
There are also the employees of many non-profit operations devoted to aiding illegal immigrants. The losers are American workers, those at the bottom of the economic heap that are displaced and impoverished by 12 million competitors for their jobs. The losers are not nearly as well organized, as are the promoters of illegal immigration.

Updated: Synthetic Marijuana Dangerous, Causing Violence; 12-year-old Video Used For Scaremongering

[From article]
The NYPD released a 2002 video of a man on the psychotic drug PCP in Iowa and claimed it was recent footage of a New Yorker under the influence of synthetic marijuana.
The clip shows a naked man screaming wildly, squatting in the street, and scrambling up a fence, defying Taser guns with 'super human strength'.
It was played during a press conference on Tuesday as Police Commissioner Bill Bratton issued an 'urgent' warning that 'weaponized marijuana' - or K2 - is a growing concern for New York officers.
But it has since emerged the scaremongering clip is 12 years old, filmed in Des Moines for the TV show COPS, and depicts a man on PCP, not K2. 
[. . .]
A spokesman for the NYPD told Gothamist the video was merely 'shown to depict the type of behavior sometimes associated with "excited delirium syndrome"'.

REVEALED: Scaremongering NYPD video of psychotic naked New Yorker high on 'weaponized marijuana' was actually of Iowa man high on PCP in 2002
Police issued a public warning over use of the synthetic marijuana 'K2'
Released two videos showing two crazed users of the drug, both naked
But the clips are actually from TV show COPS in Des Moines, Iowa, in 2002
And the men in the video had taken psychotic drug PCP - not K2
NYPD spokesman insists they did not say they were on K2 or in New York

The drug, which cops say is prevalent in the homeless community, is a cheap high that also increases body temperature, leading users to strip naked.
“A better term for it might be weaponized marijuana,” Bratton told reporters at a press conference at police headquarters.
“A number of individuals, when under the influence of this drug, are relatively impervious to pain and also have significant enhancement of their physical strength,” he said.
“So our officers encountering these individuals face more significant risk of having to subdue these individuals and potentially receiving injuries.”
Spice users are impervious to traditional takedown methods used by cops, such as tasers and mace, officials said.
[. . .]



“You’re going to see much more of it in the short term,” Bratton said of the drug. “Our concern in the potential overdose and death, the incredible number of people going to hospitals as well as those that we take into custody.”
Bratton added that while local politicians look to loosen marijuana laws, the synthetic stuff is wreaking havoc across the city.
“Ironically, even as the trend is to decriminalize and effectively pay less attention to marijuana, the synthetic marijuana issue is one of great and growing concern here in New York City,” he said.

Police in Barnstable [MA] on Cape Cod say the officer spotted the men passing through his yard just before 6 p.m. Thursday on the way to a neighbor’s house. One man, dressed in black, was wearing a scary clown mask with blood and scars. The other had the box.
The masked man hid in the box while the other man hid in the bushes with a camera.

The Sky Is Falling, Again


[From article]
The real choice today is between bigger or smaller unintelligent government.
[. . .]
Because crises are government’s excuse for growing, liberalism’s motto is: Never let a crisis go unfabricated. But its promiscuous production of crises has made them boring.

Dems Scaring Voters About Health Care

[From article]
"After the lopsided Senate vote, 57-40, against his "Path to Prosperity" bud get bill last week, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin must be feeling like Paul Revere riding through Washington shouting "bankruptcy is coming" -- except that nobody is paying attention.

Certainly not the Senate Democrats -- who are in their second year of defaulting on their constitutional obligation to produce a budget.
[. . .]
To keep their hold on power, the Democrats need to panic retirees.

In fact, the outlines of their 2012 campaign are already clear: Everything in Entitlementland is hunky-dory, and Republicans want to throw Grandma from the gravy train."

Psychiatry Scares Taxpayers For Appropriations

Prominent among the "profits of doom" are psychiatrists who scare the public using mental illness and violence. These greedy self-serving drug-company promoters and charlatans demand taxpayer money and forced drug treatment. They threaten violence if no money is appropriated to save humanity from the untreated seriously mentally ill running free in society.

[From article]
"Scientists love to see their names in print, don’t they? Coincidentally, they also love grant money, book deals, awards. The easiest way to obtain these things is by alarmism. No one ever made a buck saying, “The situation in the future will be pretty similar to what it is now.”
