wtf? Watchdog: IRS tormenting struggling taxpayers
WASHINGTON— A government watchdog
says the Internal Revenue Service is
tormenting struggling taxpayers in the midst of
a slumping economy by increasing the number
of liens the agency has filed against people
who owe back taxes.

5. I can testify to that.
Since 2008, they have tried to ding me 4 different times, 4 different reasons, each time I owed no money, did not even need to file returns.
My CPA reports he has seen huge uptick in IRS letters claiming taxpayers owe what they do not owe,
usually 100-200.00 dollar range, and that some people just send in a check because it would cost about the same to dispute the claim.
Multiply that times a million.
Tomorrow I go file a rebuttal against another demand.
A friend told me she got a $5,000 plus demand letter over taxes she had paid the previous year,
it took a letter and a copy of her paid taxes to stop them.
The IRS will keep going after suspected criminals.

6. I was just worrying about my taxes today. Makes me furious
that I have to pay more than the wealthy. Just hope I don't have to come up with extra money because it will not be possible this year. There is no "extra" money anymore for my family.
Troll gets in the talking points.

3. It's easier for the IRS to go after the struggling poor and middle classes The rich can afford tax attorneys.
Yeah,...that's the ticket. ::) That reminds me, I need to call my "tax attorney". :-)
You DUmmies are clueless.

Wait until those 15,000 new IRS agents have to start earning enough money to pay for ObamaCare AND keep their government jobs.

Yep, you pay more on your food stamps than I do on my income, right, asshat!
Lord give me strength!
ETA:
Oh, BTW, I have some "extra" money, wanna borrow some? You can pay me back with the EIC I pay for! 30% interest of course, cause I'll lay odds your credit rating hovers around 400, and that is truly givin' ya the benefit of the doubt!

They "tried to ding" you because you still need to file a return even if you don't owe them anythingy ou DUmbass. How else are they going to know you don't owe them anything if you don't file a return?

Strange someone who owes no money, somehow can afford a CPA ??? Heck even H&R Block is getting expensive.

To be honest and real, communist democrats wage war on the middle class. They always will and always have. The secondary consequence is that poor suffer even more. Now Obama is truly waging war on older middle class people.

Well, duh, the revenue for all that Obama bullshit has to come from somewhere, and between an increased revenue stream from business economic growth under his economic plan *cough* vs. stricter enforcement, guess which one looks like the better bet?
:hammer:

Bingo.
Hopefully, it's just a matter of time till they realize this. The middle class is shrinking day by day because of the communist community organizer and his red diaper doper baby buddies.
