“Taxpayer Advocate Service: ...”

Another waste of taxpayer money to do what — pretend to help the citizens. I have first hand experience with well meaning, but incompetent staffers in Jacksonville.

There can be no reconciliation of trust. The only answer is abolishing and dismantling.

Yeah, and like the FedGov and state govs ignore the Law of the Land, the Constitution, the IRS will ignore its own “Bill of Rights”.
