Will audits go back seven years like they used to instead of the three they recently switched to? Will what IRS audits are allowed <A HREF="http://trac.syr.edu/tracirs/latest/147/" REL="nofollow">stop engaging in class warfare</A>? <BR/><BR/>Under Bush, an underfunded and misdirected IRS was made to ignore tax evasion by the elites while they raided the treasury right along with our pensions/401(k)s. Of course, the corporations and other mechanisms they use as shells are stateless entities and thus have no inherent need to be loyal to our country, humanity, their stockholders, or anybody besides themselves. The people that run the corporations have reaped the profits and passed the losses on to their shells.<BR/><BR/>The stimulus bill seems to have taken a holistic and pragmatic look at the economy, helping those that may actually help the economy (the lower 95% including the 50% of Americans that have no money invested in the stock market). I'm trying to figure out how this gels with the disastrous bailout bill which basically just fed money to the irresponsible elites to no effect.ranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584685394945176255noreply@blogger.com
