IRS Cut Millions In Taxpayer Services To Pay For ObamaCare

by JASmius



I know, I know, "cue the laugh track".  Or this "IRS hoedown," especially Ryan Stiles' contribution:



"Every time I [file my tax return, the IRS] seems to [BLEEP] me up the ass."  Kinda says it all, doesn't it?

And that's before they become ObamaCare's secret police enforcers, the cost of which has been passed on to you-know-who:

The IRS' overloaded phone system hung up on more than eight million taxpayers this filing season as the agency cut millions of dollars from taxpayer services.

At the very same time that returns became even more hopelessly convoluted and complicated precisely because of....ObamaCare.

For those who weren't disconnected, only 40% actually got through to a person.

The other 60% evidently were shunted to a recording that promised to [BLEEP] them up the ass.

Many of those people had to wait on hold for more than thirty minutes, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said Wednesday.

Have you ever imagined or conceived of being [BLEEP]ed up the ass by a department store mannequin?  I can't say that I ever have.  Thank God.

A new staff report by Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee says the IRS diverted millions from taxpayer services and other areas to pay for President Barack Obama's health law.

Ah, "priorities".

But Koskinen wouldn't be The One's department store mannequin if he didn't obnoxiously try to pass the buck:

At a hearing Wednesday, Koskinen blamed budget cuts approved by Congress. The agency's budget has been cut by $1.2 billion since 2010.

Well, John, your big-eared boss signed off on those budget cuts, so it's not like it wasn't a bipartisanly collaborative effort.  And no Republican forced you to make your "customer service" even more caustically abysmal than it was already solely for the sake of Red Barry's sacred cow.  The very heart, soul, and core of budgeting is making choices, prioritizing, because, in the famous lyrics of the Rolling Stones, "You can't always get what you want."  The reason Obamerikastan is careening and hurtling drunkenly towards fiscal calamity and economic collapse is precisely because filthbags like you have sold the criminally false notion that, at every level from the personal to the highest levels of government, we can "have our cake and eat it, too".  But we can't, and we never could, and now the piper's arrival to be paid is imminent, and we're flat broke.

Congressional Republicans required you to make an exceedingly modest choice, and you made the wrong one.  Bitch not at them, but at that pasty, expressionless face in the mirror....



Oh, I'm sorry....



You have to admit, it's an easy mistake to make.
