Well, if they owned back taxes they obviously didn't have the money. So paying them a million dollar bonus would allow the IRS to get back their overdue taxes. And besides;Who in the govt. cares anyway?

These government employees are going completely berserk. They are out of control.

I guess it would be way too much to ask for any of our elected representatives to spare so much as a moment from their daily routine - that of stuffing their pockets as fast as humanly possible - to take a look at this.

EXEMPT Issa and EXEMPT Cummings laughed when the
IRS targeted Americans for political reasons.
THEY DID NOTHING FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS AND THEN YEARS.

Just like Fast&Furious.

I’ll bet Barry’s “rogue” smidgens in Cincinnati really cleaned up with their “bonuses.”

My Brother did his taxes one year and owed 7.42. They called him into his office to inform him he had to pay or get fired. He had every intention of paying anyways but the speed in which they found it was amazing.
I bet these employees were Holders People otherwise they would have been fired

Rules are for the ruled, not the rulers.

Think of this. We pay taxes to the IRS.
IRS employees paycheck is our tax money.
They spend that paycheck on their housing, food, home electronics, and vacations. So we completely subsidize their lifestyles. And they pay their taxes with our tax money. They are allowed to skate on their tax payments and get a bonus to boot. Hell of a racket they set up there.
