Don't worry, obamacare (*) is going to add 16,000 new IRS agents. I'm sure they'll get right on that, day 1 on the job.

(*) No, there's no provision in obamacare to add healthcare providers (in fact a startlingly high percentage are considering a career change as a result of obamacare). But I'm sure that layering big-government inefficiencies, thousands of IRS workers, millions of additional patients, etc. on top of our healthcare system, between you and your Doctor... That can all be magically done with no impact to you and yours! Your quality of care, availability of care, costs, all magically will move in the right directions, trust us! :-/

16,000 new IRS agents?

There are some intelligent, decent, hardworking IRS agents, but not many. The IRS culture is lazy, arrogant, and insanely politically correct.

We are dealing with agents that cannot understand fractions and have such limited vocabularies that they do not realize that the word “attorney” is related to the expense category “legal.”

One agent we encountered had a computer that routinely spit out erroneous tabulations. Accidentally or on purpose, that machine’s answers are stacked against the taxpayer. The agent is still going on her merry way overcharging the victims she audits. Wonder who gets the difference in what taxpayers REALLY owe and what she collects?
