I’ve been sort of idly keeping track of all the points in the Declaration of Independence’s bill of particulars that arguably apply to the Trump Admin. This is the first four-in-a-row I’ve hit. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

Taxes without consent. Extremely applicable given 4/15 approaching.

He has...obstruct[ed] the laws for naturalization of foreigners. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice... He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone... He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

Good question. They were armed and organized, but they weren't part of the armed forces. So not "troops." He brought in a militia. That distinction was important in the 1700's, and it's important now. Trump has been workshopping the idea, but he hasn't convinced the military to attack us yet.

If you owe income taxes in April, DON’T FILE. Who’s the recipient of my money when all federal cabinet departments are being shut down? IRS doesn’t have enough staff to process returns, cut checks or go after tax payers who didn’t file. 😎

If we manage to restore order, that would still be prosecuted. Instead, file by mail with a check. With the IRS unstaffed, it might not be opened. They aren't going to hire staff unless (until) we get sane people running things.

Sorry for my slow reply. Usually, they'll let you fix it. They slap on huge fines and interest, and they let you pay it. If you fight it, things go bad fast. Every administration in history protected the IRS until this one.

I’m inclined to believe the envelopes will be opened, checks removed and the paperwork goes in a shredder. IRS personnel are trained and there won’t be enough staff who qualify or can handle the volume. Again, where does that money wind up? 😳
