Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Obviously you've never dealt with the IRS!!!!! They may
not "enter" your residence but they'll sure as hell padlock it shut until
they get what THEY want! As far as they're concerned you have about the
same rights that the Jews did in Nazi Germany!

On a different
tack, what's the group's thoughts about taxes etc? Should
the
tax people visit my site they might think I'm
making a living from buying
and selling machines and may want a little extra cash out of me despite
the
fact I can probably prove it's impossible to
make real money out of this
AND
have a full time job and it really is a hobby....
There is a long-established tradition here in America wherein we
take great difference with a revenuer's (taxman's) attempt to
enter the premises. The tradition involves guns and dead taxmen.
All kidding aside, the 4th amendment to our Constitution elucidates
our intrinsic right to be safe and secure in our persons and property
from unwarranted intrusion. In other words, a U.S. citizen is never
required to admit a government agent unless the agent has a warrant,
and while it may happen from time to time, I don't think that revenue
agents typically ask for and receive warrants to enter a private residence.
