Disciplined IRS workers got bonuses & time off with pay

**lovbyts** · 04-23-2014, 06:08 AM

When is the madness going to stop and what can WE do?

More than 2,800 Internal Revenue Service workers who had been disciplined recently received millions of dollars in bonuses and time off as part of an employee recognition program, a new government audit shows.

The IRS has a program that rewards its employees for a job well done, but a report released Tuesday by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that, between October 1, 2010, and December 31, 2012, more than 2,800 recently disciplined IRS workers got more than $2.8 million in monetary awards and more than 27,000 hours in time-off awards.

The employee infractions included not paying their taxes.

Shocker! Another messed up government agency.

**Black** · 04-23-2014, 07:42 AM

I am just shocked. Wait a minute, no, no I'm not.

**lovbyts** · 04-23-2014, 08:13 AM

I'm not shocked either but WHY cant something be done about this? Why aren't these people receiving and giving the bonuses fired? Why is no one accountable? WTF is it going to take. I'm really starting to pray for a meteor to fall and hit a couple key buildings while occupied.

Well I don't exaggerate when I say I'm usually up for 24hrs at a time 1x a week, up 48hrs every couple of months and 72hrs at least 1 or 2x a year. Ive never been one to exaggerate or lie. Remember what happened with someone doubted me about sleeping with 3 girls at one time? I posted pictures to prove it. lol

Yeah it gets a bit old and I try not to do it but sometimes it's unavoidable.

Yeah I like the letter, it shows how idiotic they whole thing is and just like the health care act is for no other reason but to be confusing and cost us money.

I pretty much think about the destruction of our government at least once a day. My wife gets so tired of hearing me talk about stories, such as this one.

I tell her I'm not ranting, but recruiting and trying to wake her up. She just walks away and continues living in her world of ignorance.

**Chicagotarsier** · 04-24-2014, 01:26 AM

Those in ignorance, like my gf, do not care because everything is ok for them right now. in the USA the debt clock is just ignored. If you swapped your finances for the gov you would currently be looking for an escape plan consisting of plastic surgery and a new ID. I truly believe the actual undoing of the current admin will be the targeting and assassinating people without a court trial. When the gov falls tot he people and they take over...all those cool drones and long range stealth missile will be jacked up those politicians behinds that are hiding in other countries. No clue when the fall is coming but I have my compound made in a country that will not be in the middle of the liberal socialist supported centers (Chicago, Detroit, NYC, LA, ETC) so as to not be caught in zombieland. People will be eating people..you can bank on it...no alternative for the day when the supermarkets do not open.
