Subdeacon Joe Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 What kind of FANTASY WORLD has this guy been living in, if he thinks we ever trusted the IRS? WASHINGTON — His agency under relentless fire, the new head ofthe Internal Revenue Service acknowledged to Congress on Monday thatAmerican taxpayers no longer trust the IRS amid a growing number ofscandals — from the targeting of conservative political groups to lavishspending on employee conferences. But Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel declared he was "committed to restoring that trust." Hesaid he has installed new leadership at the agency and is conducting a thorough review of what went wrong and how to fix it. He promised the transparency that was lacking for several years as teaparty groups complained about harassment by the IRS, only to be met withdenials from the agency. "We must have the trust of the American taxpayer. Unfortunately, that trusthas been broken," Werfel told a House Appropriations subcommittee inhis first public appearance since taking over the agency nearly twoweeks ago. "The agency stands ready to confront the problems thatoccurred, hold accountable those who acted inappropriately, be openabout what happened, and permanently fix these problems so that suchmissteps do not occur again." Anyone who is THAT out of touch with reality needs some serious medication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Well, I feel a whole lot better now about being lied to. It was done with Sincerity and Warmth. What matter that our tax collector is doing something outside of the law. It has been so for centuries, with tax collectors. Just because those that are in the IRS can't be trusted, it is no reason that we shouldn't have warm fuzzy feelings about them. Besides, those awful tea party people are a real danger to the government. I have not heard of a single one of them supporting the Occupy Movement.

Smoken D Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Was audited some years back. Turned out they owed me and guess what. Yep, just like if you owed them, they paid interest on what they owed me. The guy helped me out on a lot of things and said that I would probably never be audited again. That's my story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 And where did they get the funds to pay the interest? That said, I am glad that you received fair treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I don't know why this scripture verse came to mind?

Grouchy Greg, SASS#71981 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Was audited some years back. Turned out they owed me and guess what. Yep, just like if you owed them, they paid interest on what they owed me. The guy helped me out on a lot of things and said that I would probably never be audited again. That's my story! Back in 2000 when I started doing independent contractor work on gubmint security training projects, I found out at tax time that there were 3 additional forms I needed to file. I was still doing my own taxes then, so I got the forms and started in, but eventually had to call the IRS help line when I found that the three forms seemed to conflict with each other on various points. The lady I talked to there was very nice and helpful, and walked me through the process with all three forms. I got it all done, sent in a check for what I owed, crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. No audit so far, but now I have our taxes done by professionals.
