For this particular comment, probably just that it doesn't add anything. Saying something akin to "get rid of taxes, and the IRS will have less power" is pretty tautological and not really relevant to most of the arguments linked (which are far more ... creative ... and bold, in terms of claiming that the US/IRS already doesn't have power to tax people).

I agree it's not very insightful or anything, but there are plenty of boring comments lying around that don't get downvoted that much. I imagine it's partially fueled by people's frustration with this viewpoint. But I guess it's hard to uproot bias entirely.

Green accounts tend to draw more fire as well. Trolling through sockpuppet accounts seems to be more and more common around here, so people might be trigger happy.
