Rep. King Justifies Suicide Attack On IRS: Sympathizes With Hatred Of IRS, Hopes For Its Destruction

hell i don't want to pay taxes but MOST countries in the western world DO have taxes. i understand the need for them as well. i just wish i got to choose where my pittance was directed.
See, now that's an idea. We should be given a checklist with our 1040's.
oh not just yes but HELL yes
