RE: The IRS. Looks like my msg got lost so here it is again

Posted: Apr 13, 2011

There was a lady on the news last night.

She owed $3400 in taxes and paid. Watch what happened.

So we should forego collecting on all the cheaters? - Story quite one-sided.

I don't think it would be proper for the IRS to go on TV to defend itself. I think they should go after the cheaters with everything they have got.

I agree with you. This is tax REVENUE we are talking about here - and that runs our country

I want them to get out there and collect that money. That's what we are paying them to do.

The money was already collected, and she paid - AGAIN. You think that's fair?nm

and other companies? I'd like them to close some of those tax loop holes for these mega corporations and THEN send the agents to come after the normal working guys/gals.

I think all you did was see the heading of the post and made your remark. This is how, and why, people don't really understand what's going on. They read headlines and jump to conclusions. I'm surprised that you would be one of them.

Apparently you forgot about 300+ billion in uncollected tax fraud - sm

Oh, but I did watch. Apparently you have not read the message or you would know that the point is that the IRS is not going to comment on TV about someone's private return. How do you know she was not "covering?" And were you so busy reposting at the top that you forgot about the $300-400 billion that needs to be collected from the cheaters?

My message was not about the cheaters. - Backwards Typist

She had proof. Anyway, my message was about the IRS and a "little" person. This is the norm for them.

The cheaters are usually the upper echelon who contribute thousands to political campaigns.

It's well known that the IRS does have an above-the-law attitude and threaten people all the time. I've read more than a few stories about them over the years. In fact, didn't one of the presidents tell us the IRS was going to be a "kinder, gentler" arm of government? They were...for about a year.

Sorry but when an arm of government is allowed to bully people, what does that say about the rest of government?

My message is about cheaters. - nm

Helllo....Timothy Geithner....he does exist and - is a tax cheat. nm

And who is the boss of those IRS agents - you want to hire to get

that 300-400 billion? Timothy Geithner, Obaam's Treasury Secretary, who himself was caught cheating on his taxes, saying "It was an accident. The tax code is confusing." ROFL.

Why not just sponsor a flat tax where there are no deductions at all, period. That would greatly diminish the need for IRS agents. Hard to cheat when there are no deductions, credits, yada yada.

When Dems are willing to (1) recognize there is a debt and recognize we need to stop spending and (2) say they are against corporate welfare and actually do something to STOP it rather than perpetuate and protect it, then I might believe in that party again. Until then...my vote is going to go to keeping them in the minority.

WE, the People, the Taxpayers, pay IRS - Let them do their job and bring in more revenue

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm all for letting IRS do its job. They need to bring in more of the revenue that is supposed to be there serving us, making our country work better. Let them do their job. $1 of IRS salary brings in $10 of revenue for our country. That's a bargain!

Yes, and we the people pay Congress, and - we the people pay the

[ In Reply To ..]
and we the people pay the tax cheat Treasury secretary, and we the people pay for the government waste that is breaking our backs...so why are you just laser-like focusing on more IRS agents (just what we need, more government employees, salaries and bennies)...instead of focusing on debt REDUCTION. Democrats seem to be physically and/or mentally incapable of cutting costs without adding more spending on top of it. It's like the think they are going to turn into a pillar of salt or something. The amount of disconnect from the deficit is ridiculous, and not only that, they manage to get regular folks who should have better sense than that carrying the message.

I'd laugh, but it went from funny to pitiful months ago.

I wonder if this has happened to anyone? I really need to vent about this, so if this long, sorry. Last year about June, my best friend moved across country. We used to be close like sisters.

It was the kind of relationship that if we didn't speak for a couple of months or so, one of us would call and it was like we had spoken just yesterday. ...

Just grieving the passing of my little Yorkie, Sparky. He was 13 years old and died of multiple-organ failure and hypothermia. I feel awful that I didn't treat his final illness seriously...just thought he was being picky about his food and would perk up quickly. I tried to force-feed him with a syringe (no needle, of course), because I knew he wasn't getting any nutrition.

That's 3,200,000 citizen contacts, of which only a very few have adverse implications. America's police forces ARE NOT - and I repeat - ARE NOT RACIST. In fact, police dep ...
