Ron Paul was trying to kill the IRS long before the IRS was trying to kill the Tea Party. One more reason to vote for Ron Paul.
Also, considering the IRS is trying to kill the Tea Party....that's a bit foreboding. After all, the original Tea Party was a tax protest, and tax collectors were tarred and feathered during many similar protests of the day. The fact that the tax collectors are picking a fight with the tea parties now is somewhat ironic.
