Carson: ‘The IRS Is Not Honest’ [+video]

“We have a system of taxation in this country that is horribly wrong,” Dr. Ben Carson said at Thursday night’s debate. He wants to “ret rid of” the Internal Revenue Service.

“You know, I never had an audit until I spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast, and then all of a sudden, they came in, they said we just want to look at your real estate dealings.” (Carson’s well-received speech at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2013 launched his political career.)

“And then they didn’t find anything, so they said let’s look at the whole year. And they didn’t find anything, so they said let’s look at the next year and the next year. They didn’t find anything and they won’t find anything because I’m a very honest person.

“But the fact of the matter is, the IRS is not hones, and we need to get rid of them” . . .

With most of the debate centering on Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz, Carson drew laughter at one point when he begged someone to insult him, so he could get a word in edgewise. (Read more from “Carson: ‘The IRS Is Not Honest'” HERE)
