Blaming the Republicans
I was amazed reading the column “$10 an hour with 2 kids? IRS pounces” [NWSunday, Dec. 6], but the greatest shock was columnist Danny Westneat’s efforts to blame this on Republicans.
No, there’s no bias in the printed media press. Westneat seems to have forgotten that it was the Republicans who tried to abolish the IRS in the 1980s.
I think the Democrats love the IRS — the more income they can divorce from American citizens, the more they can spend, and the more they can control our lives.
Conservative Republicans have longed for the day when the IRS remains only as a past nightmare.
