"IRS asked to delay closing of Andover processing center; Congressional members decry expected layoffs" by John M. Guilfoil, Globe Correspondent | February 15, 2009
Congressional members from Massachusetts and New Hampshire are again lobbying the Internal Revenue Service to delay a planned closing of a tax-processing facility in Andover, saying it would be "inappropriate" to lay off the estimated 1,400 employees there while the US government is trying to preserve jobs with a multibillion dollar economic stimulus package.
Tar, feather, Potomac!!!!!
The IRS intends to close the Andover Service Center later this year, based in part on the expectation that its paper-processing facilities won't be needed because most taxpayers will be filing their returns electronically. But a Feb. 10 letter from 15 US senators and representatives to IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman noted the agency is far behind its goal of electronically filed tax returns, and that the paper-processing facility will still be needed.
US Representative Niki Tsongas, whose district includes the Andover center, said the closure and subsequent layoff run contrary to what Congress and the Obama administration are trying to do with the newly passed economic stimulus package: save jobs.
"This is part of the broader issue of the great challenges we face in our economy," said Tsongas, who coordinated the congressional letter to the IRS. "It seems appropriate for the IRS, given the great job losses . . . to give serious reconsideration to a workforce reduction."
These people make you sick.
These are the jobs they care about? The TAX COLLECTOR?
Yeah, F*** YOU, America!

Leaders of the union that represent the workers say it's time for the IRS to reevaluate its plans."It's a very skilled and dedicated workforce, and there's absolutely no reason [for the workforce reduction] other than because they had a plan in place," said Colleen Kelley, national president of the National Treasury Employees Union. "Any business plan should have a reality check and see if it should be revisited to see if facts still exist, and they don't. Their projection never came to pass."
Well, THERE is a UNION that should be BROKEN!!!!!
Union officials said about 1,400 people could face layoffs and that several hundred more employees have already left for other jobs because of the layoff threat.
Get in the back of the unemployment line, a**holes!!!!!!!
Yup, the POOR, POOR, IRS!!
"IRS tries to give struggling taxpayers a break, but will crack down on others" by Michelle Singletary | February 15, 2009
With a budget deficit projected to top a trillion dollars this year, IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman may start feeling pressure....
They are COSTING YOU in MORE WAYS than ONE!!!!
Shulman came to the IRS from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the private-sector regulator of securities firms doing business in the United States.
You know, the ONES who "MISSED" the BERNIE MADOFF FRAUD!
Despite the focus on service, Shulman said enforcement actions won't suffer. Shulman said he's going to ratchet up enforcement among three groups of taxpayers: high net-worth individuals, US businesses with international operations, and large corporations....
I'll BELIEVE THAT when the IRS established CAMPS in their BUTT HOLES!!!!
Otherwise, PFFFFFFFFFTTTTT!!!!!
