Government governing.....

I agree with Inia's post on all of the issues that lie within the IRS, as well as several other government agencies.  The Internal Revenue Service, of all people, should be the ones that are compliant the most out of all U.S. citizens.  How can they expect for the "average Joe" that works maybe a full time job, has a mortgage to pay and family to raise as well as plan for a decent retirement keep up one hundred percent of his or her taxes whenever their own employees do not do such.  Especially with the employees that have discipline issues.  There is no logical reasoning as to why anyone with back taxes that works at the IRS or for any government agency for that matter, get any type of annual compensation bonus.  The employees that have discipline issues are definitely being mislead by being awarded with such merits and/or awards.  It sounds like to me that whoever is in charge of these employees is not competent to effectively do their job or else the employees with such discipline issues would not be getting awarded with such bonuses.

A similar situation has occurred with an EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) employee that was caught watching anywhere from two to six hours of porn since 2010 while on company time on a company computer.  What happened to this individual you ask?  Well he still has his job and is still getting paid.  This employee pretty much got a slap on the wrist, if that.  The immediate supervisors of this employee personally told members of Congress that they are not doing anything about this issue.  This employee is getting paid 120K dollars a year and receiving performance awards, yes I said PERFORMANCE awards.  Don't you just love how our government is leading by such a superior example.
