This was brought to my attention yesterday while watching a news blip about David Brinkley on ABC. He died yesterday. Anyway, I found this neat little summary here. (http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/1994/vo10no08.htm)
In 1989, the IRS sent a report to tax professionals saying that, in the event of war and nuclear attack on the United States, the collection of taxes will continue. As summarized by ABC news commentator David Brinkley, "It says that within 30 days after the last nuclear blast, the IRS will be all set up to assess, collect, and record tax payments, and ready to issue, as necessary, new forms on how to keep your taxes paid during the emergency. It says in the areas of the country hardest hit, delinquent taxpayers will be given a little extra time. Otherwise, taxes will be collected as usual."
And there my friends (except skalie and Uber), is the number one priority/purpose of our federal government. After learning about shit like this, I don't want to punch a flag burner so much.
