Not saying that the IRS is the most efficient govt entity, but things have been particularly bad in the past 2 years. They are apparently understaffed, with a major backlog of returns to process, and other pending business. We've had extreme delays with regards to Pops' return, without any resolution in sight.Gulfcoastguy said:
My 92 year old dad did pay his taxes. His income level is lower middle. He spent 11 months last year exchanging letters with an IRS contract bounty hunter. She started off wanting $800 or so but by the time he got through explaining tax law on his sole rental house to her he ended up owing nothing. It still took nearly a year and several days worth of his time pouring through tax records and receipts to get to that point.caliking said:All these doofuses worried about the IRS coming to audit them, and there's that guy telling folks to stop paying their taxes.
Hmmm... What happens when you don't pay your taxes??
In their defense, Pops lived abroad for about 30yrs, and the IRS was always professional, reasonable, and fairly prompt. It may not be a huge stretch to think that they could improve with more resources and manpower.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

Bit of an echo chamber with that password. Guessing they will need to change it now. 999888777666 might be a bit easier to remember.

When I was an Air Force Lieutenant I had a "Special Duty" assignment, investigating a Secret document that went missing. The last person to sign it out was a mid-level manager, and I began with an interview with him first. He had signed it out, made a copy, prepared the copy for courier to another organization (which was allowed, and the copy was received), and he "swore" he replaced the original into the safe, but there was only one signature on the safe (he had opened/closed it only once, and the copier was in another room). I went down to the copier, rolled it away from the wall, and the original was on the floor between the copier and the wall. He was reprimanded, just for a Secret-level document.
I got that damn assignment again as a Captain at the Directorate of Nuclear Surety. Three documents, also Secret, were lost by the Commander's own secretary. My interview with her did not go so well, she was pissed and didn't want to talk to me. I later asked the Commander to open his safe, so I could do an inventory, and behind the sliding metal "back" of the bottom file drawer, I found the three Secret documents. Crumbled up intentionally, and "hidden" (?) behind that divider. Case closed. Top secretary at DNS, fired (it was intentional this time). Again, just for Secret-level docs.
I've worked in SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facilities) at DNS, at TRW as a civilian (Nuclear Surety again), and as Director of Engineering, Missile Maintenance Group here at Hill. Those things are were bulletproof, all docs were in high-security safes, in a room with no windows that also was cypher-locked; at least two people had to be in the room at the same time; transferring information in/out also required Two-Man Control; no Internetz connections; a special secure phone land-line that made it really hard to understand; and I swear we spent 25% of the workday just doing classification oversight, checks, self-inspections, admin etc; very, very secure. All docs were higher than Secret classification. That the traitor was able to remove boxes of TS-SCI documents from SCIF(s), without anyone knowing or followup inspections making that discovery, this had to be an inside job involving at least three other people. This makes me sick to my stomach, especially in light of the fact that both the Secret Service, and some senior military, had their phones "coincidentally" wiped during that same time period. Dammit.
And this morning a congressman, a repub trump supporter with an eyepatch (Crenshaw?) was interviewed on one of the political shows I try to catch on Sunday mornings. He was okay with the documents being re-secured, but was adamant that it should've been done differently. He claimed the trump team had been cooperating with the investigators (they were not), that a written statement from trump's lawyer must've been an oversight (it certainly was not), and that the investigators should've gone thru the courts to demand trump turn over the remaining documents; No No A thousand times NO!!! Everyone knows that snake is a serial liar with zero regard for the law, or the US, and a court request simply would've been a head's-up to the snake pit to move nine of the boxes to another location, and return one box to the Government. I've never wanted to beat a former war hero/navy seal with a baseball bat before, but I can't say that after this morning. Dammit!!“I'll have what she's having."

Botch-cutting to the last paragraph, The level of Kool-Aid dispensed and consumed alarms me although I did not watch your show. When you are handling that security level of documents you are either focused or should not have been given the clearance independent of who's Richard is the flavour (nod) of the day.
I have had the challenge of investigating the perceived loss of TS/SCI material which ended up being a failure of transfer of accountability for the TS/SCI within the USN. Yes, the sphincters were tight. Turns out it was failure of receipt documentation that went unnoticed (that was beyond my scope of investigation) until the required update to the documentation before follow-on delivery to an operational command was planned. I did not recommend any of the parties go to Leavenworth to make little rocks out of big rocks. But all got what I always called a CTM- career termination maneuver, in this case censured. FWIW-
Edit: it was a Judge Advocate General (JAG) investigation; thus "Findings of Fact", "Opinions" and "Recommendations" defined the landscape. Not my first JAG investigation rodeo, and I'm a sailor not a lawyer...

@Botch - to your last paragraph about Crenshaw’s comments, the obvious pushback he should have received was that the warrant also cited obstruction of justice."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike
