Customer service representative? Sorry, but the IRS has no “customers,” only theft victims.

So they dug up this one to make it appear they are doing something about the criminality of the criminals at the criminal IRS. Such a crime! Siiiiiiiiigh.

A woman on a nearby Naval Base was fired in 1992 for violation of the Hatch Act.............

I dodged a bullet (lol)...shortly after AS I hit the theatres, I changed the message on my personal phone. I patterned it after Francisco d'Anconia's clip that was on the movie website.

Basically, it was "leave your name & # if you agree with me that true conservatism is the last best hope for this country. If not, good luck and good day!"

One of my coworkers liked it so much, it went viral. Never heard a disparaging word, but I removed it shortly thereafter.

Of course, that's not even close to what those IRS employees were doing.
