Taxpayers Place Economic Sanctions on Treasury Department

(Moline — Money Talks — May 11, 2016)

A cell of angry taxpayers has come up with an innovative way to get back at the Internal Revenue Service. They are instituting economic sanctions on an agency and government that they charge is incompetent and arrogant. The group feels that holding back their taxes due might get someone’s attention.

“These government people spend out tax dollars like they fell from the sky,” said Oral Riche, a longtime taxpayer who has had enough. “They drop bombs on civilians and prop up military dictatorships in the name of the American people.”

Riche told The Horseshoe that he plans to enforce the sanctions by depriving “an out of control monster” from further income taxes. Only when others join the populist movement will it have teeth.

“Right now we are only a small thorn in the side of the evil money machine,” he explained, “but with a few million Americans refusing to pay we will have made our point. They can arrest some of us but not all of us.”

Naming corporate welfare as the most serious issue, Riche pointed to garbage public education, twisted foreign policies and the crumbling of basic infrastructure as the targets of this fiscal protest.

“If you cut off their money they can no longer continue to do these evil things in the name of the country. They win when they keep us scared off terrorists when they are the terrorists,” he whispered. “Greed is greed and we don’t expect that to go away overnight. We just want the feds to stop pissing away our money like drunken submariners on a weekend pass.”
