House GOP votes to gut IRS budget

You just keep repeating that and haven't produced any evidence that shows that you're right. We've tried term limits and it hasn't made the corruption go away. Most major political offices are of limited term. They're still corrupt. So where is any evidence whatsoever that you're correct and politicians are going to magically become decent people, just because they can only be elected to their office once or twice?

Congressional term limits have not yet been given a shot. Term limits were passed in many states but then ruled unconstitutional in the US Supreme Court. It would take a constitutional amendment to make them law. Most major national political offices "are not term limited". Only the executive office is. And that was done by way of a constitutional amendment after FDR was elected to four terms in office and died during the last term. And you are cynical to suggest that all members of congress are corrupt. That is not the case. Too many of them are, however it is the entrenched members who tend to be corrupt. Once they are in office for so long, they are bought and paid for. For instance, on the immigration bill....despite the fact that the majority of Americans want the border secured before any comprehensive immigration bill is passed....even the establishment republicans are hell bent on passing it with or without border security to satisfy their big donors in the US Chamber of Commerce who are looking for cheap labor.
 
Um, 'scuse you, but you really should take a look at what you said:

The feds are a massive drain on the wealth of the nation. It is time to end most of it. Let it begin with the IRS and the EPA.

And that specifically shows you meant the IRS (and the EPA) as part of what you referred to as "The feds".

I quoted you as:

"{the IRS is} a massive drain on the wealth of the nation."

And since you clearly meant the IRS to be a part of "The feds", my quotation of your words is accurate. Perhaps I should have stated "{the IRS comprises a significant part of} a massive drain on the wealth of the nation." But in any case, your suggestion that the economy would be better off with a weaker IRS is very much like saying our society would have less crime if we had fewer cops and a weaker judiciary.

You are a liar and a fraud. You know you are a liar and a fraud. I shall not have anything more to do with you.
