Enforcing tax collection is not fascism.
It's an intersting news snippet, but to use it as a platform for suggesting America is becoming fascist...that doesn't work so well. To me, at least.

Collection of income tax is the ONE thing the Federal government does with anything close to efficiency and the one thing they are serious about enforcing.
Maybe we should put the IRS in charge of enforcing immigration law

The reason they would not say they were a church, was because they did not want to be burned out.

The whole "Free World"(otherwise known as America), needs to wakeup to the fact that the IRS is only a collection agency for the Privately Owned Federal Reserve.
The second thing that needs to be addressed is that the Democratic and Republican parties are put in place and kept alive by the same people that control the money. The two parties were put in place to keep everybody arguing with each other and to forget about real issues. A real issue that we should all be upset about is slavery. The income tax is a form of slavery and ignorant people believe that they need to pay their fair share. Many believe that illegal stealing of a person's money is justified by the bogus National Debt.
I have one question for you ones that believe we need to pay our fair share. If there is such a thing as a national Debt, to whom is that money owed?
I agree Bush is a moron and so was Clinton. There I slammed both sides, so show what good they've done before you defend them.
