News Story of the Day: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is giving itself a round of applause as it announced that it possesses a 91 percent conviction rate for all tax crime cases.
In its annual report of IRS investigations, the tax-collecting syndicate concluded that it gets its man 91.2 percent of the time. In 2019, the IRS located $1.8 billion in tax crime and about $4.4 billion in other crime, such as money laundering. Of the cases it prosecutes, nearly 80 percent of the culprits go to prison serving an average of three years in prison.
So, the IRS has a message for anyone who thinks he or she can evade The Man:
“We will not stop in our pursuit.
They took their money offshore and hid around the world, but we found them. They went on the dark web thinking that their actions were anonymous, but they weren’t, and we again found them.
They now deal in crypto-currency, again thinking this will make them anonymous, but our agents have once again proved that there is nowhere to hide.”
The IRS leadership probably thinks they are doing God’s work, but they are just hired goons.
Chart of the Day: Speaking of taxes, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is out with a new chart that examines tax to gross domestic product (GDP). Surprisingly, the United States had one of the lowest tax-to-GDP rates among OECD countries. France had the highest.
Illustration of the Day: It is inevitable that most developed nations will institute some sort of climate tax to appease Saint Greta Thunberg. Giving the government more money will apparently solve global warming and lower the planet’s temperature.
Quote of the Day: Did you hear? Most Republicans think President Donald Trump is a greater president than President Abraham Lincoln. This is an interesting result, and for analysis on this, there is no better person to check with than Thomas DiLorenzo:
Having researched and written about Lincoln, his war, his statist economic policies, and his demolition of civil liberties over the past twenty years (my next Lincoln book will be published by Regnery in June), I have learned that all the typical American over the age of 35 knows about him is the few slogans that Americans are all taught in grade school – that he supposedly “freed the slaves with a stroke of a pen” and “saved the union,” both of which are undeniably false. The under-35 population knows even less… The degree of delusion about Lincoln is orders of magnitude greater today than it was then [1943], thanks to the ongoing efforts of the court historians of the Lincoln cult.
Tweet of the Day: Have you ever just felt like sauntering into your nearest Wal-Mart and have an employee go on the intercom and say, “Clinton Killdepstein”? Well, one man recently did.
This is way too awesome to not share with America.
Would Mr. Clinton Killdepstein please meet your party at the front desk😆😆.pic.twitter.com/YQ0cmzXJnH

Video of the Day: If you ever wanted to see what an international organization comprised of bloodthirsty neoconservatives and neoliberals looks like, then take a gander at NATO. This week, President Donald Trump traveled to London for the NATO Summit, and the media salivated over world leaders gossiping about Trump like a bunch of little schoolgirls. But what they should have focused on was the warmongering entity seeking another dragon to slay: China. Ron Paul and Daniel McAdams go in-depth on this one:
