Internal Revenue Service supervisors "urged" their subordinates to ignore cases of fraud in applications for Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers, which allow foreign nationals to get tax refunds, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration reported today.
"Complaints from Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees that their supervisors were urging them to ignore potential fraud in a program that reviews and verifies applications for Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) have been validated," TIGTA announced in a new report.
"IRS management is not concerned with addressing questionable applications and is interested only in the volume of applications that can be processed, regardless of whether they are potentially fraudulent," the announcement also stated.
J. Russell George, who leads TIGTA, "found an environment which discourages employees from detecting fraudulent applications." George acknowledged.
The IRS disbursed $6.2 billion in tax refunds to people ITINs, which the IRS uses as "a means to efficiently process and account for tax returns and payments for those not eligible for Social Security Numbers."

Could it have been $ Billions $ in refund checks that have been going to the same addresses, which caused the row ? Even IRS agents can tell right from wrong!
PUEBLO, Colo. -- President Obama, while villifying Mitt Romney for opposing the auto industry bailout, bragged about the success of his decision to provide government assistance and said he now wants to see every manufacturing industry come roaring back.
"I said, I believe in American workers, I believe in this American industry, and now the American auto industry has come roaring back," he said. "Now I want to do the same thing with manufacturing jobs, not just in the auto industry, but in every industry.
"I don't want those jobs taking root in places like China, I want those jobs taking root in places like Pueblo," Obama told a crowd gathered for a campaign rally at the Palace of Agriculture at the Colorado State Fairgrounds here.
He made the remarks while pushing for the renewal of a tax credit for wind energy manufacturing -- something Romney opposes -- and for the creation of credits for companies who bring jobs home from overseas, as well as the elimination of loopholes for offshoring.
"Gov. Romney brags about his private sector experience, but it was mostly invested in companies, some of which were called 'pioneers of outsourcing,'" Obama said. "I don't want to be a pioneer of outsourcing. I want to insource." So he wants to repeat the horrible failure with the auto bailout by taking over every other manufacturer. Basically he wants to nationalize the manufacturing sector (and unionize I bet). Yay communism! Can we fire his stupid ass yet?

While I saw no hugging or kissing, I thought the Chicago cop's response was quite muted, even gentle. Not a great leap to figure out what was going on.

Every high profile Democrat such as Obama, Pelosi, Reid, etc. came out in support of the OWS crowd. The response of the police would most likely be muted since most of the large cities are Blue run cities.

...land...service..the basic concept is that the franchise should not be universal, but kept to those who have/had skin the in game. Why steal when you can vote for a politician to do it for you 'legally'. It's still stealing, but somehow the ritual of voting makes it OK.

"appears things began going downhill when voting was permitted by non-landowners."
--I concur gents. Statist politicians need the recipient/dependant class to keep them in power. Their policies are otherwise counter-intuitive to any citizen w/an ounce of personal pride.
