The IRS Is an Engineered Scheme and We’re Coming for It

Monroe, LA – In a deeply candid and unapologetic conversation with the John Badger 2028 Campaign Newsroom, presidential candidate John Badger spoke extensively about his intent to dismantle the IRS, reform Social Security, and restore constitutional integrity for working-class Americans. The discussion shed light on issues many politicians have refused to address and revealed the firm backbone of a candidate prepared to confront federal powers head-on.
“The IRS, as it stands today, is not only unconstitutional it is a machine designed to protect the elite by draining the working class,” Badger stated. “The Sixteenth Amendment refers to the states not the people within them. It is the state's responsibility, not the individual's burden. And yet, hardworking Americans are punished for earning a living.”
Badger went on to assert that court challenges to the IRS have repeatedly failed not due to a lack of merit but because those courts are funded by the very dollars being questioned.
“Let’s be honest asking the federal court system to hold the IRS accountable is like asking a fox to guard the henhouse. These people are paid with the money they claim we owe. The conflict of interest is enormous. Justice cannot thrive in a system where the thief writes the law and also sits on the bench.”
Badger has promised that, as President, he will launch a full-scale legal and legislative challenge against every act that enforces federal income tax on citizens.
“I will not rest until the IRS is made to return what they have wrongfully taken from the people. For those who have passed on, we will secure family trust bonds in their name untouchable by the government and reserved for their descendants. That’s what justice looks like.”
In the second half of the interview, Badger turned to the Social Security and Retirement Act, calling it a hidden form of systemic wealth seizure.
“Millions of Americans pay into Social Security all their lives. But if they pass away before retirement or even after a short time receiving benefits their money reverts to the federal government,” he explained. “That is theft, plain and simple. That money doesn’t belong to the state. It belongs to their families the ones who sacrificed alongside them.”
Badger’s proposed plan would mandate that all unused Social Security funds be returned to the families of deceased contributors, with legal protections to ensure the federal government cannot reclaim those funds for any reason.
“All heroes are not in the military. If not for the backbone of the American worker, there would be no America. We need to start acting like it,” he said. “We must rebuild a fair system one that prioritizes people, not power.”
With homelessness, housing shortages, and inflation burdening working families across the nation, Badger sees these reforms as fundamental to restoring economic justice.
“We get this right, and we won’t just ease economic pressure we’ll change the future of this country. Together we rise, together we thrive. That’s not just a slogan it’s a mission. And I live it with every breath,” Badger concluded
