Using tactics not told to them to use, such as seizing property without
warrant, breaking doors down and terrorizing taxpayers, making threats
against taxpayers about doing bodily harm and destroying them
financially, etc. Those are things for which the messenger should be
"shot" for the message.
And looking at a pay stub, as I mentioned above, just reminds me that
they have done, and will do, such things to me if I try to keep too much
of what I earned. I can say this with absolute certainty: I'm married to
someone that has had such wonderful government behavior exhibited to her
over a measley $1200, which it ended up she didn't even owe them.
Just the kind of government I'm looking forward to having if that's what
we're being offered! Ah, such bliss we'll be in when we all just learn to
conform to what the utopians decide we should be doing!
