every time i see something like that article....it just burns me up.
as for the irs, there's something wrong when in a place where we're supposed to be innocent til proven guilty, the exact opposite goes on with them.
they audit you, you have to prove your stuff was right, the burden is on you to prove innocence.
that's also why when people say 'why don't you want to be stopped/searched/questioned? if you're innocent, you have nothing to hide'. no, our fourth amendment is there for a reason. there's already overreach by the police and the highers up they serve (it is no longer the case that the cops serve the community, they serve the powers that be). does anyone really want to prove to the police, like the irs, that you're innocent?
