Isn't it sad they have to write an article like this?

Maybe Maxwell was right:

I don’t know anymore
Are the neighbors watching me
Well is the mailman watching me
And I don’t feel safe anymore, oh what a mess
I wonder who’s watching me now-— (BOO!) -The IRS?

Ten to one, this bunch of politically correct thugs monitors Facebook... and Facebook probably gave them the software to do it.

This article would probably be useful if the IRS was not a political arm of the Democratic party.

Now, the simple answer to this question is, “Are you a conservative?”

Obama’s IRS delayed approval of conservative groups until AFTER the 2012 election. So the IRS rigged the election for Obama. all these tea party groups if allowed to participate also would have gotten more conservative Republicans elected to the House and Senate. So Obama’s IRS rigged the election stole the presidency, stole the Senate for democrats/socialists and made the House more liberal. This is illegal and unconstitutional. email this to congressmen so they are aware of that the IRS and Obama’s plan was to steal the election by shutting down the tea party.

How to Tell If the IRS Is Eyeing You

1. they say they're not eyeing you
2. your atm card doesn't work
3. your checking account is frozen
4. your savings account is now a nice old argyle
5. your employer asks you to come to payroll for a minute
6. a nice white envelope with an IRS logo shows up in your mailbox
7. two weeks later your creditors start calling
8. your pastor drops by, parishioners are complaining because the offering plate is wet after it passes you by
9. your spouse is having trouble sleeping
10. it's all your fault they say as they walk out the door
11. your dog looks confused and more than a little hungry
12. your children tell you it isn't fair
13. you agree

They got me this year. A typo on my home business deductions threw it out of line from the previous years—not the expense mind you...the square footage I claimed for the office.

The process started in May 2011 for the 2010 return. They are just getting to it now. Wanna bet any penalties go back to 2010?

Nice enough guy....but no sense of humor at all.

An old trick my father taught me was always to hold just a few deductions in reserve. He got audited once and they ended up owing him about $50. They never bothered him again. It wasn't paying him that they hated so much as the time wasted in the audit.

My brother, OTOH, was very aggressive about taking every deduction to which he was entitled. He got audited multiple times even though I don't recall that he ever ended up paying them any extra taxes. It was like they were on a vendetta against him.

I think my Dad had the right idea by holding just a few deductions in reserve, even though it meant overpaying them over his lifetime. The time loss and aggravation from just one audit is a loss of more than $50, even for what it could buy back in the 1970s.

You want to be safe from the thugs that infest every branch and agency of the government? Get rid of your email accounts, send large contributions to Obama, tell everyone you know that you’ve had an awakening and show off your little red book, stay off the Internet except Facebook where you post photos of Lenin and Mao while friending Hilary and finally, never, never, ever post to Free Republic.

I don’t remember exactly when during the Clinton years, but as a lurker here I had a federal “officer of the law” respond to one of my posts here about medical cannabis in Washington State. It was freaking spooky. The poster started sending me private replies here, personal email account and mailed me a letter!

Nothing ever came of it but it made me carry 24/7!

Another time, a CNS reporter tracked me from here to my private email wanting some background information concerning some rates of state taxation I posted to a thread on tobacco subculture. Funny too, I’ve never been a smoker, I just sympathize with their plight!

Bottom line, you have no privacy if you choose to use the internet in any shape form or fashion unless you use counter measures and how many folks take those precautions?

I was griping to my boss once in the break room about Social Security taxes. This was in 1978. I told him I would love to opt out of that whole mess.

He sternly told me "Nobody ever went broke paying taxes".

I resigned and walked out 30 minutes later.

The headline is “How to Tell If the IRS Is Eyeing You”

then it says “ You can’t know exactly,”

Bait and switch journalism.
