Which also means they will go after the “easy” targets like you and I over the smallest of indiscretions for four reasons: 1) we’re easy to find because we’re not hiding from anyone, 2) we pay our bills, 3) we actually use our real social security numbers, and 4) our cases are much less difficult to investigate and close; no multiple identities or shell companies to hide behind; basically no elements of fraud (which means they will require a lot more work.

...because it couldnt find the taxpayers. Shockingly, 72% of those are IRS employees.

They were too busy “scratching” their harddrives and blackberries.

I can’t possibly be the only one who has nothing but utter, total, complete, 100% contempt for the IRS.

The bigger the government organization, the greater the corruption and incompetence.
It’s long past time for a flat tax.
To: Jack Hammer
Graduated or flat - the income tax has to go.
Consumption tax is the way to go. Just like the founders said.

“They were too busy harassing political opposition.”..
They didn’t have any problem harassing our little 501(c)3 local charity. They have been hounding us for information about our having shown a loss of $4000. For almost a year, the issue still has not been resolved. IMO, “Affirmative Action” has been playing a very large part in why this issue still persists. Our records have shown why the loss several times and they still cannot understand it. Unless its written in their play book, they cannot (or choose not to) comprehend. Personally, I would do a MAJOR overhaul of that dept. should I have the chance.

Their computer software is broken, and they don't understand their own 1040 instruction booklet.
Plus, the 2 or 3 people who are actual "tax analysts" are apparently down in the basement burning documents, shredding hard drives & smashing Blackberry phones...

I have to agree, any time you favor one segment of society rather than go for the best and brightest, you get what you deserve.
