Good grief. Is there anybody who DOESN’T hate the IRS?
“Good grief. Is there anybody who DOESN’T hate the IRS?”
J.K. Harris
The article (or at least the quoted portion of it) omits the most important fact— the subpoena was only for the identities of the posters who made threats against the jury. Threatening sitting jurors during a pending criminal case is a no-no.

I don't. I hate the tax structure in this country, and I hate my exorbitant tax bill, and I hate the profligate spending that makes such confiscatory taxes necessary, but the IRS has a mandate to enforce those laws, and in my dealings with that agency, the agents have been unfailingly polite and helpful. Of all the federal agencies I've ever had to deal with, only the FAA has done a better job at customer service than the IRS.
Go ahead and hate the tax code. Go ahead and hate the politicians who enacted it. But don't blame the IRS for those laws... they've got a job to do and they generally do it well.
