He was talking about how he got targeted by the IRS...then he says

And there are no “rogue agents.” Most government employees are good people. Career bureaucrats would never risk their pensions to harass or persecute taxpayers without orders from above.

If there's a libertarian fraud I despise more than Glenn Beck or the Koch brothers, it's probably Wayne Allyan Root.

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

Wayne Root and his mouth, have been an embarrassment to; Libertarians, Independents and Constitutionalists... basically any free and liberty movement.

So the question is, did Wayne Root cut a deal because he may have been caught for something?Root is right up there with CIA conman Bob Barr.

"Career bureaucrats would never risk their pensions to harass or persecute taxpayers without orders from above."
This is obviously silly as an absolute, but he actually makes an important point: The response to most scandals is about sacrificing a few "rogue" employees to appease the public, but it's not about rogue employees at all. It's about systemic corruption coming from the top.

 

[Root]

This asshole needs a new last name.

And there are no “rogue agents.” Most government employees are good people. Career bureaucrats would never risk their pensions to harass or persecute taxpayers without orders from above.

So, those "good people" followed "orders from above" to persecute innocent people?

Thus the machination of every genocide and pogram since the begining of time, carried out by "authority".

"Good people" following bad orders.

Root, Crack Smoker?

Thread Winner.

Most are... It is the ones that aren't that can and have destroyed lives.

It still needs to start with an 'R' so his initials remain "WAR" though.

"They's good people."

Government employees either (A) believe in what the government is doing [which explains why most of the upper ranks are leftists] or (B) it is the only realistic employment option you have.

A large amount of IRS workers don't pay into the so called income tax as structured. Why? Because they know better. They have seen the light.

You can too.

"They's good people."

The whip cracker is just doing his job.

Amen

 

[TaftFan]

While very true, that doesn't mean there aren't some bad people as well. But I do agree Obama may have had something to do with it.

Rock Smoker?

The guy is still an asshole, even post name change.

I cannot see IRS employees as "good people" . So , that is bullshit .WTF .

 

[thoughtomator]

Having lived in the DC area for a decade I've known quite a few government bureaucrats, and none of them would fit my description of good people.

 

[DamianTV]

Those that qualify for high positions in Govt are often chosen because they are the Scum of the Earth. Real Creme of the Crap. Honest men are not drawn to those positions, but there is a very high incentive for those willing to bend the rules to their personal benefit.

If they were good people, they would immediately quit their jobs and get other jobs in the private sector where they don't have to persecute, intimidate, extort or harass anyone.
