IRS to the rescue: thieves now required to report ill-gotten gains

[Minstrel]

...

In a perfect world, one with rainbows and unicorns, the criminals not only would report and pay taxes on things they  stole, but they would also follow gun laws, buy them properly from gun sellers.


BUT...... that is the most laughable and impossible scenario ever!! 
There are no unicorns, much less a perfect world. 

...

I am quite honestly embarrassed for whomever came up with criminals "paying taxes on stolen goods".
And who thought that was a good idea to say something that ignorant on record? 
...
.

Ummm... "...no unicorns..." ?
What happened to them...and...when? ... and ......... prove it
I'm not taking this one lying down.

Paying taxes on stolen goods makes way for...'the estates and assets of anyone convicted of theft in its varied forms and styles...can be taxed'.
And, if they failed to report their thievery, then, the gov' can affix fines and other penalties...up to and including their entire estate/s.  

So, if you were the/a victim of such an action of 'justice', the US Treasury/Federal Government gets first (and, perhaps/probably - only) pickin's out of the goods stolen from you...to satisfy its nefarious & whimsical appetite...
