The IRS has, since its creation and by design, been a tyrant’s tool of oppression just awaiting the willing user to come along.

“Not a smidgen of corruption”....no, there is an ocean of corruption. An ocean is not a smidgen.

Yes, IT failures in the government are common place. Obamacare was but one example. But in the case of the IRS, several spectacular failure equated to billions of dollars.

In general, in the government nobody is ever held accountable; they are more likely to be promoted or get a better job in another agency.

I suspect many others will be coming forward... When there’s a culture of corruption it doesn’t take a lot to find the corruption.

The media will brand him as a disgruntled kook. They will marginalize and censure him.

Nah, they'll maintain complete silence over the story.

Standard ops.

IMHO that is what is treasonous. No accountability.

She has voted for the winner now in every election for president since she was old enough to vote

Did she claim she voted for the winners before or after the election? I think she is just trying to keep the majority of her customers happy with the 'I voted for the winner' like the majority of her customers.

Thanks for those links. VERY informative. The GESTAPO arm of the U.S.A. - United Socialists of America.

You would use the law to oppose socialism? But it is upon the law that socialism itself relies. Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.

DEPOPULATE socialists/totalitarians from the body politic. DISMANTLE their collectives/agencies.

It’s easy to…

“Its not really fraud but rather monumental mismanagement.”

I agree there is widespread incompetence and mismanagement in the IRS. But incompetence and mismanagement can explain only so much.

http://www.treasury.gov/tigta/auditreports/2012reports/201242081fr.pdf

Check out the Treasury report on the IRS. Note pages 18-20.
23,994 refunds for $46,378,040 were sent to one address. There are many other examples. And yet politicians and the MSM are not concerned. Just as they are not concerned about the IRS targeting conservative groups.

I remember computer systems by the department of defense that they scrapped because after spending billions and never getting them to work, the hardware was obsolete.

If you’re involved in the Tea Party, 9/12, or ANY other grassroots groups, the new IRS rules will make it ILLEGAL for you to:

Mention a candidate up for re-election within 60 days of an election. That includes every single member of the House of Representatives – you won’t be able petition your own representatives.
Register voters.
Call for the election or defeat of a political candidate.
Hold candidate forums so voters can decide who would best represent them.

No, she always tells me who she is voting for. If I were a betting woman, I would use her as the guide.

”Smidgeon”, it depends on the meaning of it”, as POSOTUS was lead to the gallows.

"embattled Internal Revenue Service"

Every time I see these words I laugh. Except for a few pesky people asking questions, the IRS is certainly not "embattled".

Exactly. Thanks for those additional links/comments.

Democrat Wilson’s GESTAPO IRS, Indirect-tax, money-devaluing, wealth-destroying Federal Reserve and business-controlling FTC have worked well for the United Socialists of America.
