As our short attention span mainstream media move on to other stories, here’s an assortment of recent articles on the IRS misdeeds, which are still just as wrong as they ever were.
Lois Lerner’s plan: fight on – She knows that BHO will have no problem granting her a pardon for her crimes that were committed in pursuit of promoting his agenda.
The IRS Immigration Fraud Scandal – IRS is too busy harassing US citizens to catch foreigners stealing billions in illegal tax refunds.
Why the IRS Scandal Needs a Special Prosecutor – But the BHO Regime has done such an excellent job of investigating and reporting on itself. Why would we possibly need an unrelated outside party to look at these matters? With that logic, why do we need independent CPAs to audit company books? Think of all the money that could be saved if everyone just audited themselves like the BHO Regime does.

For ages, I have been collecting and posting different version’s of George Harrison’s classic and timeless TaxMan song. During a CPE webinar today, one of the polling questions asked which musical artist hadn’t recorded a song called TaxMan; Elvis Presley, Lucky Dube or The Beatles. The answer was Elvis.
The presenter explained that he had come across a song by South African reggae artist Lucky Dube. This was news to me; so I searched YouTube and found a number of recordings of Lucky Dube performing this song. One of them even includes the lyrics.
TAXMAN (Composed by Lucky Dube)
I pay my gardener To clean up my garden I pay my doctor To check out da other ting I pay my lawyer To fight for my rights And I pay my body guard To guard my body There’s only one man I pay But I don’t know what I’m paying for I’m talking about the taxman x3
CHORUS
What have you done for me lately Mr Taxman x4
You take from the rich Take from the poor You even take from me Can’t understand it now I pay for the police To err…I don’t know why ‘Cause if my dollar was good enough There wouldn’t be so much crime In the Streets They tell me you’re a fat man And you always take and Never give
CHORUS
What have you done for me lately Mr Taxman
Till fade
I had never heard of Lucky Dube before now and was bummed out to read in this Wikipedia article, that he was killed by carjackers in 2007 in South Africa at the age of only 43. As you can hear in these examples, he sounds a lot like Bob Marley, another reggae artist who died much too young, at 36.
