My late uncle was an attorney for the IRS for over 30 years.

After he retired. He bacame one of best tax men around. He had zero fear of the IRS and had a "frick'em" attitude.

He would rape the IRS with loopholes most people never heard of. I don't know of a single one of his clients who ever had trouble. A few got audited, and the IRS could find nothing. He covered all his bases.

Yeah, it’s strange how you’ll never meet an IRS agent at a bar. If one introduced themselves as such it would be a near immediate “frick you” after asking if he was serious


Am I having deja vu? Because I swear you made this same exact post before.

I went to school with a woman who worked for Altria. They own Phillip Morris but you'd never know it. She lives/lived in Richmond and she was a middle manager at "Altria" (Phillip Morris).

Yeah, had a friend that worked for the IRS. He lied and told everyone that he worked at a bank.

Old man down the street is a retired IRS auditor. My great uncle knew him back in the day and always said he was a dickhead. He seems ok enough to me but I bet he pissed some folks off back then.

A lifetime ago when I was working retail cellular sales, I had a customer come in that was an IRS agent. He was also carrying. I asked him what he did for a living and he said he worked for the IRS.

I replied loudly, accidentally, “Why the hell do y’all carry?!”

He was very upset by my question but I was really confused as to why he carried. I legit didn’t know that some agents carried.

If everyone paid their taxes maybe rates wouldn't be as high. It's the same concept as the cost of goods have "shrinkage" (aka people stealing shite) priced into them

I had a buddy in middle/high school whose dad was some kind of corporate stooge for Philip Morris. Don't remember his exact job.

My friend's dad and mom were both chain smokers and really excessive drinkers.

"Just pay your taxes & you are good "? Are you this naive? A frat brother was with the IRS for 30 yrs. A good Christian , family man, he didn't have a bad bone in his body. Yet he said that turnover was so bad, people with only a few years experience were getting bumped up into high, administrative positions & the lower ranks were getting filled, and filled with "diversity correct" individuals. With major "hard ons" for the white middle & upper classes. He saw people audited year after year after year just for pure harassment's sake. He was extremely bitter when he finally retired.

IRS is very hated. If you knew you were hated by the general public, and had to constantly deal with them, you’d be carrying too

The lower ranks are filled with people who couldn't get other jobs and immigrants who don't know any better

Certainly! Cause we all know that the more money the various governments get, the more satisfied they are. Just give us what we say we need, we won't ask for more.

You're such an idiot.
