      I think she's been exposed. Sounds to me like she's presented her findings to the IRS. Now we get to see who is honest in the IRS. Are they going to do a cover up? Are they being paid off? If yes, good bye, because they too are being exposed as part of the deep state.

      I used to (and still do) enjoy the quip, "Pro is to Con as Progress is to Congress." But in time, I learned about the discussion in the Federalist Papers and elsewhere that USA's founders were quite concerned about the "tyranny of the majority" hence many of the check and balances; in short, government was designed in some respects to be *inefficient* so that a slim majority 50.01% couldn't impose unfair burdens on the slim minority. I think the American people are safest (especially budgetarily) when Congress is in gridlock and gets next to nothing done. Hope that eases the pain of this otherwise wasted time.

      There is so much gray with tax law. Companies have an incentive to avoid taxes, just like you. These are large firms, with large, sophisticated accounting systems. Tax lawyers will tell you to avoid the gray, but in the case of these large corps, the benefits may outweigh the risks of possibly losing in court.
      I have watched many of bidens nominations avoid questions, but she had no real way of answering the questions. Yes, companies try and avoid taxes, but the line of legal vs legal is usually decided by courts. Maybe the IRS is right, and maybe some of these corps is right, but the courts will decide.

      Everyone tries to minimize what they pay. We all accept this. She accused companies of cheating, and then wasn't willing to name those she accuses. Why? Because she's arguing for more government power and wants to deny the accused the right to debunk her claims.

    • @whycomes9562
      @whycomes9562 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@v44rgtuy0l3 If there are active cases, she probably isn't allowed to talk about them. If say Apple wins their case, they could go after her for defamation. I think if you are the government, taking action, then you would have to "believe" they are breaking the law, thus the reason you are bringing them to court. You may be completely wrong. The courts decide.
      I agree, we don't need more IRS funding. They shouldn't be going after gray areas, and instead should be focused on black and white illegal activity. But these government officials can make big names for themselves if they win a case against say Apple, for billions of dollars.

She knows that until something is PROVED in a court of law, it would be considered slander to make unfounded spoken charges that damage a company's reputation. So she can't let names slip, or she risks being sued. So she was smart not to name names. What she SHOULD have said is she believes there is sufficient evidence that, when brought to trial, will show that Company X, Y, and Z and not following all IRS regulations. That would be truthful and an opinion only, which would keep her out of hot water. But, she decided to go for sensationalism by pretending to have confirmed names.... that's where her behavior was dumb. But also smart enough not to get herself in trouble other than simply being embarrassed, which doesn't seem to be much of a worry to many folks presently.

      The vast majority of federal income tax, over 98% IIRC, is solely used to make interest payments to the federal reserve, a private bank with a hundred year contract that was just renewed a couple years ago (during Obama admin). Interest, on our own money, "loaned" to the government, printed with nothing to back it up. Federal income tax was supposed to be temporary. Americans were promised it would be temporary, just as we were promised the economy would be fixed when the government illegally demanded all privately owned gold be turned over to the government, under threat of incarceration for something like ten years or more. It did not fix the economy. Are you angry? You should be.

      You have to consider the alternative this day in age, though. Before income tax, there were much higher terrifs. We live off technology now. That $1000 smart phone you made this comment through would cost a WHOLE lot more with higher trade terrifs. If we raise the prices through terrifs, these nations producing these gadgets for cheap would quickly realize that it doesn't matter how cheap they put the devices out for if we still get charged so much on top of this. The price of computer technology would skyrocket even higher. The solution to that is, of course, products produced in the US.

    I Love it when the questions are asking strait to a point and they Never can give any answer.
    Especially when I hear them Boasting about what they do but never come clean on anything that puts them on the spot to prove it.

    Talk is not cheap when corporations can sue you if you identify their corruption.

    She could be sued for defamation if she answers. Or come down with a “mysterious illness”.

    If she just came out and said 'I can't tell you that because it would put me in jeopardy of slander' that would probably have ended the line of questioning. Apparently this hot-shot accountant is not that smart. Edit for word left out.

    I remember in middle school being taught that after you make a claim, you have to support that claim with direct evidence.

    He acts like he just woke up but he is well prepared. His presumed honesty "Im not tryimg to trick you", is exactly the opposite. This leads me to believe that when he asks "who are they?", he is again feigning ignorance. As a 🇬🇧 watching other clips of his, it seems as though this Politician uses this manipulative tactic very often.
    Also, he reaptes the same question again "who they are?". She named a few possible companies. She can not categorically say they "cheat", as the IRS needs to investigate and given the tools to do so. Funny how the US can overpolice certain areas (like the UK), but doesn't supply enough resources to investigate and collect taxes from corporations such as Apple.
