@NoLabelsOrg @BudgetHawks @MayaMacGuineas I think it might just never be repaid in a real sense (pun intended), but rather simply inflated away

Hollywood portrays civilian gun owners as fools, more likely to do harm than good.

The FBI confirms defensive gun use is rare.

But researcher @JohnRLottJr says the FBI data is wrong, that civilians SAVE lives all the time.

Please repost this. It is time! I am ready to go to Washington DC!

Why I Should Be the Next IRS Commissioner!

I dropped out of college after my freshman year immediately following high school. I spent three years working minimum-wage jobs. I spent six years in the United States Navy, and I was a Reactor Operator on SSN 672. I qualified as an Engineering Watch Supervisor as an E-5. The next five years I worked as an hourly employee at a civilian nuclear power plant, a steel mill, a foundry, and a Pepsi bottling plant, and became a journeyman electrician over this time. I was a member of three different unions.

I then spent four years as the Maintenance Manager at an assembly and packaging facility, where I was a member of management. I went back to college for 21 months at age 37 and earned my bachelor’s degree in business with a specialty in accounting. I later earned my MBA.

I became a Certified Public Accountant in early 2007 just before I turned 40. I am the Managing Partner of a public accounting firm in Fort Wayne. We specialize in income taxes, tax planning, bookkeeping, payroll, and consulting. I personally review and sign 400 income tax returns per year.

I grew up middle class, and my father retired as a field auditor from the Indiana Department of Revenue. I am a generalist and have a broad knowledge of how things work. I am a co-founder of The Collaboration Room, and I write on tax topics.

My goals as IRS Commissioner are to:

Work with technical experts in and outside of government to modernize the IRS. It is appalling that the IRS is still using systems that are more than 40 years old.

Work with Congress to simplify the Internal Revenue Code. We have the most complicated tax code in the world, and this puts the United States at a competitive disadvantage.

Coordinate with the Taxpayer Advocate and the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration to understand their recommendations and implement those changes that make sense.

Form a deep understanding of how the IRS works, understand the problems it faces, and work with employees and managers at the IRS to streamline and improve the IRS.

Our country relies on the Internal Revenue Service to collect the bulk of the revenue the federal government spends. We need to build a strong team at the IRS and stop vilifying them.

Implement systems to gain constructive feedback from tax professionals and implement changes based on their recommendations.

We need a modernized, streamlined, effective Internal Revenue Service and a simpler income tax code that is easier to administer.

To think there are people out there who genuinely believe that holding an S&P 500 index fund is a diversified investment portfolio. What a time to be alive…
