Oooo, “Missed it by that much!” Maxwell Smart
I don’t know who’s worse, the IRS or the media.
Lib “college” “professors”.
BTTT
I think Cicero said “ First we hang the lawyers”.
Galston is a prime example of what he was talking about. A wise man way ahead of his time, this Cicero fellow.
“investigators concluded there was no proof of political intent, a liberal conspiracy or White House involvement.”
I want to see Lerners testimony.
Like Andrew McCabe's about to do...
Oshkallaboomboom beat you by 20 seconds.
The difference between myself and Kaslin is that when I see someone else beat me to a post I ask to have it deleted.
They have aided and abetted black churches HOSTING DEM politicos during elections ROUTINELY in 100's of churches for months repeatedly. With impunity.
But let a conservative Pastor even utter one word or one sentence merely about a preferred candidate and the IRS was Johnny on the spot ready to jerk their charitable status.
We are stinking tired of the IRS being used as a lop-sided liberal hidiot bulldog tasked only with biting conservatives and conservative pastors and congregations.
My own take on the IRS scandals is that it was more than a case of political harrasment. In 2012, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) published the results of an audit and found widespread apparent fraud involving temporary tax IDs of the type used by foreign workers. In one case, over 23,000 tax refunds were paid to a single address in Atlanta for a total of $50,000,000! Other cases cited were similar. Could someone be financing the “resistance” with taxpayer money? Could this possibly happen without someone on the inside? I never understood why this didn’t get more press.
Cicero was a very good lawyer. Shakespeare is the fellow to quote on this.
“They’ve been burned. They’ve been hammered. They’ve been bludgeoned,” George Washington University law professor Miriam Galston explains to the Washington Post. “They’re trying to survive.”
Well, she’s from Georgetown so I think she must be talking about Sandra Flucks’ feminine hygeine products.
The very idea that IRS workers become demoralized because taxpayers don’t especially like them is barely worthy of the teeny violin pix. These workers don’t have to worry about EVER being fired (unless they commit the most egregious offenses imaginable, like shooting a fellow worker) they get all manner of health care, they get pensions. They are comparatively well paid. Oh, they are bored? Cry me a river. Do people go into this line of work in order to lead exciting lives teeming with glamour? Do IRS workers think there are or have been periods where the general taxpaying population really really appreciates them and their undying devotion to their work? Not hardly.
That needs to be "attached".
You’ve never met my neighbor Cicero! He hates lawyers.
To be clear, the Centralization of IRS powers into the National office is the same tactics used by all Socialist Governments. The reorganization in the 1990S thru OBAMA begand the centralization a system that existed in the 1940s through19521 when IRS was decentralized. 52 or so Directors are hard to keep quiet. Also in the 1940s the corruption was at owere levels; the new system enabled IRS to be corrupted at higher levels with Top Directives passed to lower levels with the need as to why. Also, under the old system, there was only one political appointment. Under Obama, they were able to transfer political robots who were placed at higher levels and transferred in.EG Lois Lerner, was an executive at the Federal Election Committee (guess that was deemed corrupted enough); sic she was able to abust the Charity application etc.
We were ripped, we were staggered, we were hopelessly blind
We were drunk on power and anything else we could find
But then you sobered up and you drifted away
Now happy hour is the saddest time of the day
