Unless the IRS can produce phone logs, certified mail receipts, mail logs, etc to show that they really tried to contact Matt other ways, then we all know why they showed up.
I'm with you on that. IRS got caught playing politics and they have no respect for congress because who the heck in congress said it was OK to write tax laws that weigh half a ton on paper? None. They write the tax laws all themselves.
@@nancyhewitt858 So from their website it says the will never call you. It says they will send a letter and a number for you to call them, they do this because there are so many scammers out there taking advantage of the elderly who may not recognize a scammer.
Indeed. It's the principle of the matter. An IRS employee showing up on your doorstep unannounced should be carefully verified that its official capacity for his presence. When it's revealed that the IRS will act similar to those who have planted evidence and convicted the framed successfully, is when I'll have real concern about their presence and interaction.
Already a thing, bud. Just not enforced. "Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States."
I think the IRS is a third party agency, not a government agency. It's not enforceable legal form unless you sign your very first return...Then they have you.
You didn't see the entire hearing. He answered a lot of questions, but he is prohibited by law from speaking about any specific taxpayer's situation. That includes any situation that might send the IRS to someone's door 100% of the time or *EVEN* verifying that an IRS agent came to someone's door. We still do not know *THAT* an IRS agent came to Taibbi's door. We literally only have Matt's word and he has a history of histrionics. If you know the IRS privacy rules, then you can use them to make claims that are unverifiable... for instance, a politician might claim that he cannot share his taxes because he is under audit, even when he is not under audit.
@@jimzimmerman5288 Do you mean the note that Matt was the only witness for? I'm saying that it is possible that the IRS never came to his door. How would we know? The IRS is not allowed to confirm or deny. Therefore we either have to trust that Matt Taibbi is telling the truth... or not.
@@scytaleghola5969 all you did is highlight the problem .. so obviously things need to change or all these departments can do what they want with zero oversight .. which is exactly how the Democrats are using them currently.
Why does congress act like they too are afraid of the IRS. WHY doesn't congress enforce oversight OVER the IRS. The IRS is not independent of government oversight.
The members of congress who have something to hide. Are trying to defund the irs before they find it. Even willing to shut down the gov in fear of exposure.
If you want gov agents to consider the politics of people they investigate and fear gov retribution and exposure to finatical supporters. How can you expect them to catch corrupt people in politics.
I've always heard the first contact was via mail, now he say if the ..."IRS is reaching out to you, it's probably not the IRS." WOW, now that is really reassuring.
Interesting how they are all concerned about following the rules and laws when they are in front of a committee. But they have no problem ignoring the law any other time.
The reason why they're going after these these people that work at the IRS in the social security office and stuff is because they're trying to get rid of social security and that's the reason why they're going after them and it's a shame that we even have to hear these
@Janet McCusker yesh. The Democrats are the ones who removed SS from a private fund so they could spend it. Then they voted twice to tax it and always claim Republicans are after your social security. Under every progressive president Inflation skyrockets because they spend far more money than they have and create more digital currency and spend it. It's the ONLY thing that causes inflation. There is video of Biden as a senator calling for a freeze on social security because it's running out of money. If it's running out they can stop paying people that never paid in to buy votes.

Exactly...so they want to hire significantly more IRS agents who will be armed? It shows that the escalation of home visits is planned for the near future. IRS = a modern day mafia syndicate with much greater force. The aim is to intimidate in my opinion....Fearful citizens are more easily controlled by their govt.
Going after Taibbi is a jawdropping eye opener for me..Outrageous.. Dude is a legendary progressive democratic press legend...We got chairman mao kids..
Having prepared taxes and represented clients to the IRS for 30+ years I’ve NEVER heard of the IRS showing up to a Taxpayers residence as a first point of contact. In fact in that time I’ve experienced only ONE telephone call and that was shocking and it turned out to be a Special Project by the IRS and it was a Sr Revenue Agent. Generally the only Agents that show up to a home are Revenue Officers who are Collection Agents and they do so during the Collections Process. Perhaps there’s a new boots-on-the ground IRS protocol that has just so happened to come to light here? No way…not buying it!
@@kirklamb3270 Which the IRS had first acknowledged in writing there was no problem with his returns. Suddenly, there's a problem ...the same day he's testifying to Congress about Deep State abuse using coordinated alphabet agencies to censor anyone the Democrat-controlled government deems an enemy by way of making statements refuting Democrat-controlled government propaganda? What a coincidence?
They are preparing new order for people to fear and obey. In the history of medieval times they were coming on horses and slaughter people to create a fear.
@@kirklamb3270 so you don't find it at all unusual that the IRS showed up right when Matt was testifying AGAINST government overreach? You don't at all see the possibility that this may have been an attempt to pressure or intimidate? I think you put far too much blind trust in our government.
They need to question both after forcing them to place their hand on the Bible and “swear to tell the truth and the whole truth so help me God or may God strike me dead immediate where I sit”!”If I say once that I can’t answer the question because I’m not allowed may God strike me dead immediately “,then we might hear 1or 2 actually speak the truth and actually answer 1or 2 questions!Then again they may realize they will probably end up dead (by suicide)if they answer the truth and decide to let God just take them on out right there!Either way it should have a positive effect!
"When God wants to punish a nation, He will give them worse wicked rulers." "All that is necessary for EVIL to triumph is for good men to do nothing”. May the righteous rise and the wicked fall.
I can tell you this. Of the half dozen times I called the IRS over an issue, most were unanswered and I finally spoke to a person only once. But that person did help and get the situation straightened out. But Johnson is right, take the politics and social engineering out of the tax code, make it fair and uniform. Still, IRS agents usually don't show up at taxpayers' houses unless they're suspected of criminal activity. My brother-in-law was an agent for 15 years and that's the only time he ever actually went to their home.
Well taxes as we do them are illegal anyway. Taxes apply to District of Columbia. Its designed to fund the White House and entities of it. As in small government operations not billion dollar free flowing funds. Sales tax is supposed to fund nations budget which by default limits national government size and funds.
@@1014p there is NO law stating that the average american citizen working in private business is obligated to pay an income tax... people need to wake up and do their own research.

Good job Ron, as usual. I would have recommended a few additional questions, such as "who ordered this visit?". Forget these general questions - let's get specific.
In NC if the IRS visits any house unannounced, that IRS agent might be leaving that house swept up by a broom and dustpan into a wheelbarrow, that’s if they’re lucky, or they might just come missing for decades. Just saying.

Twice I have received notices from the IRS, not once did any Agent show up ever. A third time I got a Notice from the IRS was concerning a mistake on my taxes, due to a Company issue on my W-2, and I paid the amount listed after reviewing the mistake with my CPA. And the amount of Taxes owed was right. But I have never in my life heard of a Agent paying any visit for any reason while testifying before Congress.
It's always been "Rules for thee, not for me" and won't be any different. This is just the stage play that shows the empathy, the concern and nothing ever happens. Just part of the show and the characters change positions at times, like debate class. the meat of the subject is the performance but if there's something accomplished for the good? mark it down. It's a rarity. They all got the talking part down but the creepy dirty reality lives on.
Why is he prohibited to discuss the facts that should not be blocked from the Senate Committee on Finance - why is he cautious to say about what we all need to know about the IRS policies, steps, procedures - we are the tax payers!!!!
The IRS once visited my home unannounced. I was not there but a neighbor of mine said there was an IRS agent who was trying to see me at my small condo building and the neighbor who reported it to me had absolutely NO reason to lie about this. Evidently when the IRS agent could not get a response from his ringing of my door bell, he saw my elderly neighbor and started asking him questions about me and identified himself as an IRS agent! And this was about a trivial tax matter!
??? I was audited by the IRS years ago. I received a letter informing me of the audit, which year's tax return they were questioning, what types of documentation they wanted me to bring to the audit, and to which IRS office I was to report. After two meetings and going through my documentation, the IRS made no change, and I didn't have to pay any additional amount or any penalty. At no time -- even with a full audit -- did any IRS agent feel the need to visit my home first. They send out letters before anything else. They never simply show up out of nowhere. Are you saying they never even attempted to contact you first by mail? Or even a phone call?
Congress has gone so far abdicating it's legislative duty to oversee the Administrative Branch by giving rule authority to cabinet offices, that now they think they are above scrutiny and don't have to answer questions.
Another obvious question not considered of asked is does M T do his own taxes or does he use a CPA? I have had CPA representation for a very long time. My point im getting to is if he uses a CPA then wouldn't the IRS contact the CPA first. This IRS agent at the door is rare and hard to not see It as intimidation
We need our politically appointed person’s to start saying “stop the BS and answer the question “! This BS has to stop! The American People will put a stop to this BS! You would be foolish to think we’re going to go along with this tyranny for much longer!
We pay their salary they answer to the American people, and I say we need our own voting system to cast a vote as to if a branch of government should be investigated, by the people. seeing how they have proven they can't be trusted
Hang on??? How do you get to do a "deal" with the IRS? I thought you just had to pay what was due. Am I missing something here? Can rich people negotiate how much tax they don't pay?
I have a cousin who is an IRS Agent who has stated that even these workers can not understand all the tax codes as written, and she has been an Agent for 15 years as an Agent in a field office.
I stopped in to my local SS office to make a correction on the name on my SS card and on a whim, I asked the person on the other side of the glass how to find out if anyone "expirian, equifax, car dealerships, mortgage lenders" accessed my SS trust using my SS number and without batting an eye told me my SS has no value! Great, almost 40 years of paying into a trust that is worthless!
It is hard to overstate how severe this is.

the meat of the subject is the performance but if there's something accomplished for the good? mark it down. It's a rarity.
They all got the talking part down but the creepy dirty reality lives on.
THEY DO NOT COME TO YOUR HOME!!!!!! PERIOD
They actually do. They have come to my home..left a business card on my front door.
Irs commissioner: Sir my agent was looking for hunter's home. He got lost and ended up in Taibi's house.
Sen. This dude is a real trip.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so angry with someone “answering questions”!!!!
DEFUND AND DISBAND THE IRS
You are FIRED!
Why is he prohibited to discuss the facts that should not be blocked from the Senate Committee on Finance - why is he cautious to say about what we all need to know about the IRS policies, steps, procedures - we are the tax payers!!!!
If the IRS is reaching out to me it's not the IRS...then why did they "ask" me by mail to pay a little more for a certain year?
This government over reach has to stop.
Agreed. Get the House committee trying to obstruct the New York Justice Dept to stand down.
The only way to stop them is to impeach them PERIOD
The IRS once visited my home unannounced. I was not there but a neighbor of mine said there was an IRS agent who was trying to see me at my small condo building and the neighbor who reported it to me had absolutely NO reason to lie about this. Evidently when the IRS agent could not get a response from his ringing of my door bell, he saw my elderly neighbor and started asking him questions about me and identified himself as an IRS agent! And this was about a trivial tax matter!
Then I would have to ask who did you tick off.
??? I was audited by the IRS years ago. I received a letter informing me of the audit, which year's tax return they were questioning, what types of documentation they wanted me to bring to the audit, and to which IRS office I was to report. After two meetings and going through my documentation, the IRS made no change, and I didn't have to pay any additional amount or any penalty. At no time -- even with a full audit -- did any IRS agent feel the need to visit my home first. They send out letters before anything else. They never simply show up out of nowhere. Are you saying they never even attempted to contact you first by mail? Or even a phone call?
That's insane!
Yeah right 😅
@@jody6851 He's lying.
What a chilling effect that action has…..
Congress has gone so far abdicating it's legislative duty to oversee the Administrative Branch by giving rule authority to cabinet offices, that now they think they are above scrutiny and don't have to answer questions.
Another obvious question not considered of asked is does M T do his own taxes or does he use a CPA?
I have had CPA representation for a very long time. My point im getting to is if he uses a CPA then wouldn't the IRS contact the CPA first. This IRS agent at the door is rare and hard to not see It as intimidation
The most appalling aspect of this is giving the Communist the title of "Honorable"
Yet more hearings, upon hearings and NOTHING IS DONE, NO ONE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE! WTF
We need our politically appointed person’s to start saying “stop the BS and answer the question “! This BS has to stop! The American People will put a stop to this BS! You would be foolish to think we’re going to go along with this tyranny for much longer!
How many times does Ron Johnson have to repeat his question for clearity ( I myself have counted 8 times for ONE question )
We pay their salary they answer to the American people, and I say we need our own voting system
to cast a vote as to if a branch of government should be investigated,
by the people. seeing how they have proven they can't be trusted
Answer the question!!!!!
WHO APPOINTED THIS WEASEL ??
Crazy
Intimidation!
Hang on??? How do you get to do a "deal" with the IRS? I thought you just had to pay what was due. Am I missing something here? Can rich people negotiate how much tax they don't pay?
Obfuscation is the SOP of the IRS. They have had many years of practice doing it. Little wonder we don't hear the simple TRUTH from their lips.
Love Ron Johnson!!! He’s by far one of the top 5 best people in office!!
I have a cousin who is an IRS Agent who has stated that even these workers can not understand all the tax codes as written, and she has been an Agent for 15 years as an Agent in a field office.
The one time we got an audit No ONE came to our house. I SEE this as A NEW thing.
Ron Johnson you are a Great Man Standing up For AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I stopped in to my local SS office to make a correction on the name on my SS card and on a whim, I asked the person on the other side of the glass how to find out if anyone "expirian, equifax, car dealerships, mortgage lenders" accessed my SS trust using my SS number and without batting an eye told me my SS has no value! Great, almost 40 years of paying into a trust that is worthless!
I am watching the same thing happen in Australia.. it troubles me deeply..
Fire them all
I wish he would answer the questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
