It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be. The problem is that people who either don't work, can't manage money or both cannot see the clear and present problems before them. I have come to believe that stupid people don't ignore it, it's that they are to stupid to understand. Sad, very sad.

This is potentially a good thing.

If IRS employees are whacking off to porn or playing with Nerf balls, that is time they could be spending auditing innocent people or hassling tea party non-profits.

Personally I'd prefer they invest in some astroglide so it won't hurt as bad when they screw us.

Abusing tax payers. They work for us but they forget that. The main stream media is trying to cover the tracks, the janitorial service for the Obama administration so of course Obama lovers do as they want, ignore it.

IRS dance lessons, pornography, expensive trips, baby cloths, fishy's and more on the tax payers dime yet the liberal media is full court press when it comes to helping Obama when he demands higher taxes on everyone who already pays taxes, those 47% who don't pay taxes chanting along with him.

And the White House, the house we pay for, is still closed to the public.

Why not try researching before blaming the messenger? It's on Huffpo and numerous other news sites, is that good enough?

I really hate this argument, my local councilman says it's just $50K. My state legislators says it's just a few hundred thousand and my federal legislator says it's just a few million... It's when you begin to add up all this waste you have a significant amount of money. If $500K is being spent by IRS employees on personal items how many people in other agencies are doing the same thing?
