The Onion isn’t the only parody site that fools people with what appear to be true news stories. This one from The National Report fooled some people because, as with all good humor, it is something that people could very easily believe to be true. Of course, with the continuing financial fiasco in DC, I wouldn’t bet against something like this becoming reality in the future.
Except for non-profits, IRS is supposed to keep our tax return data secret from anyone else. However, if the taxpayer happens to oppose the bHo Regime’s policies, the supposedly confidential tax info is accessed by political hatchetmen and released to the media and other bHo supporters. This is obviously illegal, but nobody has the guts to prosecute supporters of the first black president for any crime; so they have free reign to continue violating our rights.
Exclusive: Lois Lerner breaks silence – She obviously knows that she won’t be punished for any of her crimes; so they will continue at the IRS by her accomplices.
Interesting article and comments regarding the IRS’s recently enacted policy of charging us preparers for the annual use of a PTIN, which used to be free. It’s great to see other tax practitioners who are not afraid to publicly disagree with IRS practices.
The main concern isn’t the amount of money IRS is charging for the PTIN, which is actually a small fraction of what we already pay to maintain our CPA licenses; but the increasing control IRS is trying to exercise over our relationship with our clients in regard to helping them legally reduce their tax burdens.

Even after being caught red-handed lying about the status of Lois Lerner’s emails, IRS employees continue to stonewall any attempts to dig into the crimes committed by her and her accomplices all the way up the chain of command in the bHo Regime. With no fear of prosecution for the original crimes or the obvious cover-ups and perjury, they have no incentive to cooperate with GOP investigators.
GOP lawmaker accuses DOJ of hiding former employee linked to IRS scandal – It’s quite an uphill battle to investigate IRS crimes when the perpetrators are being assisted in their perjury and cover-ups by Eric Holder and his DOJ, as well as by the MSM who continue to pretend that IRS has never done anything wrong in regard to Tea Party groups.
Of course, we shouldn’t hold our breath waiting for anyone in the IRS to be punished for lying about the emails. Eric Holder will continue to cover their asses.
Now they are telling their lies to a federal district court. With Eric Holder refusing to prosecute anyone in the IRS, they have nothing to fear from this latest perjury.
