The IRS has a Union?

SHUT UP, YOU PEASANTS.
Who do you think you are? Citizens of the United States?
Accept your status and show proper respect to your betters.
Come to think of it..isn’t that the attitude that caused the American, French, Russian and a few other revolutions?
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

In some cases, IRS employees have lost jobs for simply filing a late return or failing to report a few hundred dollars of interest income.

Not a bad rule, IMO. I think all types of law enforcement ought to be subject to similar types of rules.

"Politically powerful people are less likely to get bothered by the IRS,"

Think about it...if you are a mid-level IRS employee and the tax return of a highly connected political person shows a red flag. Is it more likely to be career ending move to ignore it or to flag it?

The system is increasingly, stinkingly corrupt. Obama didn't select for tax evaders, but it seems obvious that it was hard not to have some in his nominees, because the well-connected don't worry about cutting corners. Either they get away with it, or if they don't, the penalties are waived.

Sure....but didn't Geithner get out of penalties, same with the others. Don't think that'd happen to your normal Joe.

We need a test case, LOL, someone willing to not pay, then claim equal protection under the law and use Geitner, Sebelius, Daschle, as examples.

[The Brush]

IRS employees have reported that taxpayers are occasionally citing the Geithner case when they are asked to pay their tax bills.

And angry Tea Party tax payers are targeted as militants by Homeland Security.

Every Democrat who is on record saying taxes on the rich are too low should be audited for the last 8 years. If they failed to pay any of the "too little" that they owed, they should be jailed.

[Poison Pill]

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who admitted not paying $34,000 in payroll and Social Security taxes

Spiro Agrew did not pay tax on $29,000 in one year and it cost him the Vice Presidency. Of course he was a Republican so, y' know...

[lafroste]

Silly me. When I read the title I thought that some IRS employees might actually care about the public they serve - how refreshing! Then I read it and discovered that they were bit&hing about their own treatment.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Dems see taxes as something that the ordinary slobs pay while they live high and mighty on our money.

[zek157]

how much did these people pay in interest and penalties?

[Gator113]

Is it true that anyone not paying their fair share of taxes this year, will automatically receive a democrat voter registration card with their stimulus check?
