People on public assistance commit majority of tax refund fraud, police sayTampa led the nation in refund fraud last year, with thieves duping the IRS out of $468 million. That's according to a recent analysis by a federal watchdog agency, which put the national loss at $5.2 billion. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said it detected characteristics of refund fraud in 88,724 paid Tampa returns.No one can say with certainty who took all the money.But police know where they find the evidence.Routinely, they see signs of tax fraud commingled with indicators of food assistance, rent assistance, Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income disability checks.Little hard data exists on a crime only recently entering the public consciousness. But the estimate of 80 to 90 percent is the consensus of a Tampa police attorney and three detectives who specialize in the cases, including Sal Augeri, who testified about fraud in March before a U.S. Senate subcommittee.
I came across this article the other day and forgot to post it. Tampa Bay Times
They are owed that money by the 1% so what's the big deal?
Nothin' to see here, folks. Just move on.
But the liberal narrative tells us to have pity on people on public assistance, as people who are momentarily down on their luck, and that sponging off the government long-term is never a lifestyle choice or character flaw.Whatever.
