Doom: IRS Complains About Budget Cuts, Forgets The Back Taxes IRS Employees Owe
Townhall ^ | Jan 15, 2015 | Katie Pavlich

Posted on 01/19/2015 5:28:31 AM PST by george76

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, infamous for his defiant congressional testimony about the inappropriate targeting of conservative tea party groups, is warning that budget cuts to the agency will cause delayed refunds, more identity theft, long wait times for help and a possible shut down of the agency

...

Koskinen doesn't mention the extra hell Obamacare rules are putting tax filers through this year...

Maybe Koskinen should ask IRS employees who owe back taxes to pay up in order to help fill the gap. Or how about avoiding handing out bonuses worth millions to employees who owe back taxes to the federal government?

...

Oh, and then there's the $3.3. billion federal government employees owe in back taxes.

We're beyond the point of ‘fixing’ this. It's going to require a hard reset. JMO.

That also goes for the EPA.

I work for the Government. I pay my taxes. Any Government employee who doesn’t should be fired. No problem with that one.

just stop paying BONUS money to their employees.

The fed employees figured out they could circumvent the civil servant pay scales by giving each other ‘bonus’ pay

All IRS operatives that owe back taxes should have been fired a long time ago. What the hell are the Feds waiting for? The sequel to the infamous IRS Star Trek commercial?

I agree with you. The IRS is beyond fixing. Maybe that’s why all of a sudden two GA senators dropped the Fair Tax in the hopper last week.

It may well be that the Congress is going to seriously think about getting rid of the income tax. It sure would make life easier. And IMO I could be wrong it would generate more revenue than the income tax.

Boo hoo. They could have saved a lot of money if they hadn’t allocated all those resources to target tea party groups in 2012.
