How is the IRS different from any other terrorist organization, save that they are actively terrorizing Americans on American soil?

Have you guys seen this Aaron Russo doc?

Thx

What do you mean "her adult Son did?" He died in the service of this country. Obviously it wasn't a sacrifice she was willing to make. I'm not going to say anything about Cindy Sheehan, my little brother survived his 3 combat tours, so I personally didn't have to sacrifice anything for those wars. Hmmmm, what's wrong with that last sentence?

Yeah, she's obviously in a type of grief none but a very few can even relate to.

Interesting how the IRS under Obama is going after her for this, and the Bush administration didn't.

Aside from that, I'd say say if she doesn't want her money used for the purpose of war, she should be given the same consideration that people get when they don't want their tax money used for abortions.

IRC § 6331(a) authorizes the Secretary to levy upon or seize property to collect delinquent taxes. In this context, Secretary means the Secretary of the Treasury, or any officer, employee, or agency of the Treasury Department authorized to perform the function. See IRC § 7701(a)(11) & (12).
Internal Revenue Manual - 5.17.3 Levy and Sale

I was a Revenue Officer & trust me, the IRS has the legal authority to enforce collection & demand delinquent (unfilled) tax returns.

I think it's just a political tactic to show he's enforcing the law equally.
Tax protest is a venerable & effective maneuver.

Interesting. I like how the government is now trying to bully her for her patriotism using the IRS. Scary stuff.

Feds sue anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan over back taxes

SACRAMENTO, CA - The federal government has filed a lawsuit to force anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan to provide her financial records to the Internal Revenue Service.
An IRS revenue officer said Sheehan refused to answer any questions about her finances after receiving a summons at her Vacaville home.

The U.S. Attorney's office on Tuesday filed a petition to enforce the IRS summons.
The summons ordered Sheehan to produce bank account statements for the period from August through early November 2011.
According to IRS revenue officer Jose Arteaga, the financial information may be relevant to the collection of Sheehan's federal income tax liabilities for tax years 2005 and 2006.
Arteaga said Sheehan first met with him on Nov. 22 and sought an extension to Jan. 17. It was during the January meeting that she refused to answer any questions or produce the requested documents.
Sheehan said she's always been up front with the IRS and has no intention of paying her taxes. She says the government has already taken enough from her.
"If they (federal government), can give me my son back, I'll pay my taxes, but that's not going to happen," Sheehan said.
Sheehan became an anti-war activist after her son, U.S. Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, was killed in Iraq. She attracted national attention after setting up a camp in 2005 near President George W. Bush's ranch in Texas.
More recently, Sheehan has been involved in the Occupy movement and was arrested during an October demonstration in Sacramento.
The IRS lists Sheehan as self-employed. She was not immediately available for comment on the tax lawsuit......
