The Democrat-Controlled (for Now) House Ways and Means Committee Shreds The IRS' Guarantee of Filer Confidentiality and Releases Trump Tax Information
The House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday voted to release six years of former President Trump's tax returns. In November, the Supreme Court rejected a bid by Trump to prevent Congress from accessing his tax information, ending years of legal wrangling. It's not clear when the documents will be released, but the panel said it would take a few days to redact personal information, like Trump's Social Security and bank account numbers. The committee voted along party lines. Republicans warned that there would be severe consequences for the release of the returns. Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, the ranking Republican on the Ways and Means panel, warned in a press conference, "Longstanding privacy protections for all taxpayers have been compromised. Going forward, the majority chairman in the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee will have nearly unlimited power to target or make public the tax returns of private citizens--and not just private citizens: political enemies, business and labor leaders or even the returns of Supreme Court justices themselves."
Instapundit asks, If the government is no longer honoring its legal commitment to protect taxpayer confidentiality, should citizens file tax returns any longer? This follows the January 6th Committee inventing out of a whole cloth a new power to make criminal referrals, which its allies in the Propaganda Media pretended was a real power that is sacrosanct in the Constitution. Michael Tracy rips them:
Michael Tracey
@mtracey What's being called a "criminal referral" by the Jan 6 committee carries just as much legal weight as a letter written in magic marker by Bozo the Clown. Has no basis at all in any statute or House rule, they just put out a Word document and made up a serious-sounding name for it They didn't even attempt to invoke the one statutory authority they do potentially have at their disposal, the criminal contempt statute (2 USC s. 194). So they just wrote their equivalent of a long Substack screed, and hoped the phrase "criminal referral" would get people excited
Media trumpeting how this was the first "criminal referral" of a president in US history neglects to emphasize that the very manner of the "referral" is a whole-cloth invention of the Cheney/Schiff gang. So yeah it's technically true that nobody invented this fake action before If you write a letter asking for the prosecution of Kermit the Frog, attach it to a rubber chicken, and mail to: Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, DC 20530 It's possible that you also carried out the first such "criminal referral" in US history. Congrats Example of the stupidity, courtesy of NBC. Yes, Trump does have the historic distinction of being the first president to be impeached twice. That's correct. But there's no such thing in this context as a "formal referral" by Congress for "potential prosecution." It doesn't exist
This item and countless others give the impression that Congress has had a formal "criminal referral" power at its disposal since 1789, but was just never moved to use it till now. In reality, no such power exists, which is why the committee invented this "informal" (fake) power Also contrary to the suggestions of NBC and others, it wasn't "Congress" that took this action, it was nine individual members of the House acting in their individual capacity to send a letter. That's it. Members of Congress send approximately 17,000 joint letters every month "But weren't they acting in their capacity as members of the Select Committee on Jan 6?" Good question. Answer: "No." Because the resolution passed by a majority in the House to establish the Committee never even purported to vest them with any sort of "criminal referral" power The resolution vested them with the power to issue a final report containing their "findings, conclusions, and recommendations for corrective measures." Here was the definition of "corrective measures." You'll notice: nothing about any heretofore unknown "criminal referral" power Even if the resolution authorizing the Select Committee *did* purport to grant them with something called "criminal referral" powers, it's highly unclear the power could ever be wielded. But that's moot anyway, because the resolution didn't even purport to grant such power So all the Committee members ultimately was add an exciting little "Criminal Referral" section to their report, and tell everyone this was a really big deal. Good news, High School kids: you have just as much legal authority to do the same thing in your next Book Report But of course the Committee's most valuable asset of all is their partners, allies, and friends in the media class -- whom they knew would reliably perform their usual PR function in the same lazy and unscrupulous manner as always

Yes. If you don't, men with guns will come seize all of your property and throw you in prison. If you resist, they will kill you.
The idea that a society is a two-way street and that the obligations and compliance of the citizens are matched by the obligations and honor of the government is terribly quaint. It hasn't existed in a long time, if it ever did. You do as you're told, they do as they please. If you object, a hollow-point or a gulag will be your reward.

No, they should not. But they will. And it's time to slap ourselves in the face with the cold, hard truth - we are not anywhere near the majority in the country.
Look around you - within a circle of people you know or do business with, at least half of them neither care about this or, if they heard the news, think Trump deserves it. And of the people who do care, there are not nearly enough to mount or perpetuate an 'income tax strike.'
The GOP knows it and doesn't care. Why should they? They ran on absolutely nothing and still people voted for them, deluded by the chimera of a 'red wave.' The GOP knows there is absolutely nothing they can do that will stop you voting for them.
Anyone who continues to support the GOP in any way at this moment is doing nothing more than resoling the boot stamping them in the face.

It worked. And it will keep working. We're post-law, so anything goes. They could give their "referral" to Garland in the form of a note scrawled in crayon on the back of a greasy envelope and it will serve the same purpose: to try to compel Garland to go after Trump.

I agree, have also been thinking on this. I think the keep it up for two reasons; A) it's a great method of control over their political opponents, and B) if they ever openly admit taxes are meaningless, the whole system collapses, so they have to keep pretending taxes have something to do with funding (even though they don't anymore)

About the Trump thing, Garland has already passed all of this off to a "Special Prosecutor" who is guaranteed to make a 2 year project of leaks and innuendo about it. He'll probably file charges in the summer before the election, even if he knows he'll lose. The whole thing is about blocking Trump from running again, don't forget.

Yep...As has been pointed out above, withholding means I never see that money at all. It's deducted from my pay automatically (for my convenience!). The government can then use any number of levers to prevent me from keeping my hard-earned money. (between taxes, insurance, benefits, and my investments which are deducted for me, I'm lucky if I see 35-40% of what I actually make on paper in a given year).

I've decided the line was crossed when the Covid shutdown was announced and a significant majority of the country just knuckled under and went along with it. That was the sign they could get away with anything; it was also a big red sign to me that people with my way of thinking were quite the small minority in this country, at best 10% - 20%. (most of us here are in that group)

They don't care about taxes. They spend whatever they want to spend with no consideration, whatsoever, about income.
They would do the raids, though, because no one is permitted to do other than what they are told.

As someone pointed out above, with regard to tax resistance, there is no need for very many 'fellow countrymen' when the government takes out just enough resistance.
American citizens are rotting in DC jails and being tortured by guards in revenge for simply exercising the constitutional right of assembly. The GOP voted to award medals of bravery to the murdering scum who killed Ashli Babbit. A fucking US Senator screamed at police to execute people. And is anyone doing anything about it?
**shrugs** I keep repeating this, and yet people still think that the charade of 'voting' means anything at all.

An anecdote that illustrates one of my many pet peeves about perception versus reality here. Perception is that prior generations were this great bunch of blue-collar constitutional scholars and lovers of liberty. Recorded history shows something completely different. The prior generations revered Big Government. They absolutely loved it. They may have hated the name Socialism - but they absolutely loved it in practice.

And we might as well scratch off the 2nd amendment too since no one seems willing to use it for its purpose.
There are solutions. But those solutions require some sacrifices. No one is will to sacrifice though. We wonder how the left has taken over? They were willing to make sacrifices.

Well, my point that voting them in was useless is because they 'won' by not running on anything at all. Not one of the nickelfuckers had any concrete plan to deal with the tyranny of Stinkfinger or the complete and utter subversion of every federal agency.
For all the complaints that the GOP is useless, impotent or active collaborators with the left, I am certain that a majority of the commenters here went to the polls and voted for their own GOP representative. All that does is tell them you're the battered wife who will never leave.

yeah, even if there was a "tax strike", BigGov would just print trillions anyway. The tax would be via inflation. In fact most of the current deficit is "funded" that way.
Allegedly this MMT (magic money tree, modern monetary insaniT) would control inflation, the way Powell is doing with increasing interest rates. BUT we see that has not slowed Joe and Congress's profligate spending.
So people are wondering when Powell will "blink", since Congress will go to infinity ... and beyond with spending. If Powell does not blink, the economy may (finally) take a bigger hit than it has. And then of before then, Joe fires Powell. Hyperinflation is then possible.

Reminds me of his interview where he stated that if the government decided to start acting blatantly unconstitutionally then it was time to basically reject the government, because the constitution is a contract and if they don’t honor it, neither should we.

This is the key. Effectively we have become a rentier state except what our fedgov is doing relies on borrowing rather than taxation rather than exports of some good.
Something similar happened when King Charles I kept Parliament from meeting for about a decade and ran the government from his own personal stash of cash. Eventually he ran out of it and had to reconvene Parliament to ask for taxes and that is when the fit hit the shan.

they would have to get them first, before promising to release them. The IRS arm of the Junta would not cooperate, and FBI/DOJ would (probably) do raids on committee trouble makers.

They invented an Office of the President-Elect for Obama. Pelosi did a presser on behalf of Sandra Fluke and dressed it up to look like official House business. We just watched 6 straight years of totally lawless phony investigations unfold, all under color of """law.""" And that's just off the top of my head, without even getting into the COVID insanity.
Everything this regime does is just made up from whole cloth, day to day, and hastily disguised with legalistic trappings. It's all horseshit. Pure theater. This is no more a government than the mafia is. It's just "whatever we feel like doing is Sacred Democracy, you peons!"

Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, the ranking Republican on the Ways and Means panel, warned in a press conference, "Longstanding privacy protections for all taxpayers have been compromised. Going forward, the majority chairman in the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee will have nearly unlimited power to target or make public the tax returns of private citizens--and not just private citizens: political enemies, business and labor leaders or even the returns of Supreme Court justices themselves."
------
There will be severe consequences - for enemies of the regime. That is all this Brady guy said, and those are the only consequences that will come from this. I need to hear more GOP puling like I need another hole in my head. STFD, STFU, and then kill yourself, Ranking Asshole of the Ways & Means Committee.

I just kept shaking my head when everyone got all atwitter over the 2022 midterm selection. I guess people are so desperate to avoid violence, that grown-ass adults will waste weeks wishing upon a star.
It's getting worse, and it's going to get A LOT worse. Government will not hold itself accountable. Only the People can do that. James Madison said that ultimately, it is the vigorous and manly spirit of the American people that will hold Congress accountable, not some clause in the Constitution, not some court of unelected political hacks.
Smartest thing you can do is to get yourself to a Free State and keep it as free as you can as the death spiral continues. I have no idea what this one is going to look like, but I know it won't be pretty. But at least maybe some of us will finally get a little justice after decades of abuse.

Seems to me, it's better than cancer. Cancer can strike anyone regardless of political viewpoint. Unknown causes strikes Pedocrats and Leftists with 99.995% certainty. It rarely gets a Constitution-loving patriot.
Also, the Covid Vaccines are 100% safe and effective for Democrats and their families. Please stop insinuating otherwise. This is dangerous disinformation that could prevent our tormentors from receiving critical healthcare.

Not really, having nukes did not prevent the Sov Union from splitting because for the most part, nukes are only useful at the state versus state level, not for civil war. Use them, the fallout drifts over the cities where your base it. Use them on rural areas, you destroy your food supply. Military tacticians decided pretty much unless you go WWIII where everything gets destroyed, nukes are actually fairly useless in civil war situations.

But imagine how much it would transform American politics if they did. Imagine the GOP sending millions to "local gun clubs" or some BS to just cut $1,000 checks to gun owners. No explanation or justification; we're just gonna hand this money out because that's what we want to do. Imagine them just sending sacks of cash to any pack of righties with enough brain cells to fill out a few forms and establish a "community group." $1M to "The Museum of American Greatness" (which exists only on paper), or a local "Patriot House," which is just a clubhouse for wargaming nerds.
