IRS Going After two who Publicly Embarrassed Obamacare

I gave room for him to be ignorant. Which company broke HIPPA rules? And a broker from another state claims some authority regarding another state's insurance laws? I guess he could know HIPPA but that's a legal issue not an insurance broker's issue. Like I said something's fishy.

I'm not a war veteran but I'm a Audit veteran and have had the joy of 4 audits in my lifetime.

The claim that the IRS demanded money from earlier years is probably false. An Audit notice means you are going to be audited - either at the IRS office or at your premises. They don't say you owe them money or that you've done anything wrong.

An audit costs you money because most people use a CPA to represent them. But while my first audit caused me to get a bill (and I was completely in the wrong by expensing inventory) the next 3 caused no change in my taxes as filed. The IRS was never rude, harsh or unfair about the audits.

Now, audits are supposed to be chosen by the computer, not by individual agents. So if this is true, it is wrong, but it likely isn't true.

Yes, this is an anecdotal opinion© but I do have some experience, gotten the hard way.

I quit reading at "most people" because apparently you don't realize most people can't afford a CPA which is one main reason the rich pay a less percentage even than the middle class often, because the rich hire CPAs to find every loophole.

Well, you could still have read what I posted since you apparently missed my point completely. People "who can't afford a CPA" are pretty rarely audited. So, I was kind of supporting your position but you didn't bother to read that.

Again, misinformation. Why continue to debate with talking points that are contrary to reality?

Yeah, he attempted to use the IRS, LBJ actually did. But LBJ had a Democratic Congress who wasn't about to challenge him. Nixon, the Democratic Congress wanted him gone.

What do you think will happen to the Big 0 who actually did, also?

He better hope the Dems retain the Senate.
 
This so called cancer patient has been caught lying repeatedly. It's no surprise that he is probably lying about his taxes.

Using the IRS for political reasons goes all the way back to LBJ.

True. But there ought to be special "completely crush them and destroy their lives and their reputations and everything about them" laws for public servants who abuse the power with which they are entrusted. I have zero tolerance for that which will corrupt and ruin Americans' trust in self-government.

I take it, then, that you'd have no objection of the police want to make a detailed search of your home, to see if they can find any evidence of illegal activity on your part. If you've done nothing wrong, if you have nothing to hide, then you should have nothing to worry about, right?

Oh, and by the way, they're going to need to look through the last 10 years' worth of your garbage. You didn't keep it? Oh, that's too bad. You can just pay the fine and whatever else we say you owe. Nothing to see here. Move along.
 
With enemies of the state I can see this being an annual event, and since congress has the purse strings and local representation we should let them decide who the enemies are! Can't wait for Issas choices :)
