IRS scandal means bad news for Obama – While this would be great and would definitely be the case if the White House occupants were Republican, the current pResident is not being credited for any of the dozens of scandals and illegal activities by his regime. The media are continuing to do their job of covering up and lying about these scandals so that few people actually connect BHO to any of them.

Uncle Sam Sucker Punched By Lois Lerner
Is Lois Lerner cutting a deal?
Lois Lerner’s lawyers negotiating with Oversight Committee on immunity – The parallels with organized crime bosses continue.
Lois Lerner, key player in Tea Party targeting scandal, retiring – She’s obviously hoping to get herself out of the focus of GOP investigators and thus reduce her chances for a prison sentence. It will probably work, based on the GOP’s paralyzing fear of attacking the BHO Regime and being labeled as racists by the MSM.
Lois Lerner, embattled official at the heart of IRS tea party scandal, retires with full pension likely worth more than $50,000 as an internal review called for her firing – As is standard practice with our “government servant,” they are well rewarded for their misdeeds.

I have long been a big fan of Cali Lewis and her GeekBeat videos. While they usually deal with computer and other tech topics, her partner, John P. just posted this interesting video, where he calculates how much actual cash can be carried in a standard briefcase. While most big dollar deals don’t use actual cash, this info could come in handy someday.

Obama on Obamacare: “We did raise taxes on some things.” – Some = just about everything.
Census: State and Local Income, Sales, Motor Fuel, Motor Vehicle, and Alcoholic Beverage Taxes Hit All-Time Highs in 2nd Quarter – Governments can’t control their spending addiction and they will use whatever means possible to steal that money from the private sector.
Obamacare Will Increase Avg. Individual-Market Insurance Premiums By 99% For Men, 62% For Women – And the morons who support ObamaCare still insist on calling it the Affordable Care Act.
The Obamacare Scams Are Already Starting – Not the least surprising since the entire ObamaCare legislation has been a humongous scam from the beginning.
Now They Tell Us: ObamaCare Has Huge Hidden Costs –

IRS is trying to use a 129 year old law to justify their overly-zealous regulation of tax return preparers. If the first 1040 tax returns were for 1913, how does an 1884 law apply to that?
IRS rides 1884 ‘dead horse’ law to defense of tax preparer rules

Uncle Sam Wants His Cut on Your Gambling Winnings – Good summary from FoxBusiness of the rules for reporting gambling winnings and losses.
A common misconception is that the losses have to be in the same kind of gambling as the reported winnings. Not true. I can still remember a client I had back in Calif.who had won several million in the lottery shortly after it started in that state. He opted for the annual payouts, and each year we deducted all kinds of gambling losses against that annual lottery payment; horses, casinos, football pools, in addition to new lottery tickets.
