Entertainer and PJTV pundit Alfonzo Rachel is crying foul…and possibly racism. Rachel is a black conservative living in California. His popular video rants typically cover topics such as big government and faith.
While his latest video is no different, it took a more personal turn when Rachel revealed he had been targeted by the IRS and the California state tax board. Apparently the IRS has forbidden Rachel from owning a savings account after they notified him that he made too many transfers from savings to checking (seriously?). Now the author and musician can ONLY hold checking accounts.
That in itself is outrageous (the government can tell you what kind of bank account you can and can’t own?) but the outrage doesn’t end there. Recently Rachel awoke to discover the California state tax board had completely drained his checking account of every dime…without warning, notification or even any charges.
In the video Rachel says he’s not sure if the IRS is behind it yet, “but I do know California is big on hating Republicans. And California is big on the state and federal government taking from others.”
Could this be yet another ripple in the growing IRS scandal? If it is politically motivated, could there be an element of racism as well? Rachel discusses at length the Democrat’s history of using organized political groups to harm and bully black Americans, and draws a loose comparison here using the left’s own rules of accusations of racism.
In an interview Rachel told me, “I don’t know if this is the IRS’ [doing] but they’re still in violation of the supreme law of the land by depriving me of my property without due process. They punished me before charging me.” He went on to say that while he was very angry at first he was humbled as he heard about the children lost in the Moore, Oklahoma tornado.“God was like, what did you lose? So I’m not mad about the money. I’m angry about an audacious government that insists on making us subjects. That’s the sickening part.”
The longtime musician maintains he knows of no violations on his part and is completely clueless as to why the state “burglarized” his account.
Could the fact that this publicly outspoken black man enthusiastically exposes the racist origins and Marxist values of the Democrat party be in any way responsible for this sudden violation? Is this racially motivated? Politically motivated?
A month ago those questions would have been perceived by most people as hilariously paranoid.
