Remember what I wrote as two of the eight downsides of the current income tax system:

6. Government uses the tax code as a political instrument to favor or punish political constituencies as little as ONE taxpaying entity. The recent scandal using the IRS to target conservative 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) groups is clear proof of this.
7. Because the IRS needs to know intimate details of personal and business financial records in tax return filings, there are potentially serious issues with invasion of privacy. Care to explain why former Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's private tax returns ended up in the offices of Senator Harry Reid (D-NV)?

The very fact we know know the IRS abused its powers on behest of the Obama Administration for political purpuses proves me right in these two assertions. This is why in the end, the only solution is to get rid of the income tax and replace it with this:

It would be the most liberating thing to happen to the USA since the American Revolution itself, in my humble opinion.

There are two nations within our borders. There is The United States of America and there is Democratland. The citizens of Democratland take money from the citizens of The United States. One of the citizens of Democratland is now the President of The United States. Another citizen of Democratland is head of The United States Senate.

What about other work product that would have been lost; why has that not been discussed?..........

This is a very important point. Lerner, if her hard drive did actually crash, would need a new computer almost instantly, just to function and fulfill her day to day responsibilities. You just don’t get a blank computer and continue to run your office from that point. She must have had 10’s of folder filled with documented data that she would need to have recovered and placed on her new computer to be able to have her office function.
So obviously the lost data was available on a server somewhere. Obviously it was recovered and reloaded on her computer, almost immediately, not months later. Her email folder would have been an almost invaluable piece of that data. Almost invalualbe. It would be one of the first things anyone would want recovered and reloaded on their computer, and yet we are to believe they were able to recover all her other data but not the email folder?
This is an important area that needs to be investigated.
Maybe the Federal judges putting pressure on the IT people at the IRS will shed some light on this.

I can(and have)written to my senator/representative demanding something be done on a certain issue. Most likely,they will respond by saying that they are doing what they can,but are not directly involved with the issue or are not on that committee. The real troublemakers are not ones I can easily correspond with;they are not from my state.
