IRS seizes money from innocent
Anyone who is surprised by this has obviously never dealt with the Internal Revenue Service:
The IRS has acknowledged that Jamey and Lora Costner of Newport are victims of identity theft and Congress has called on them to testify. Nevertheless, this young couple are being harassed yet again by the IRS for back taxes on income they never earned at a place they never worked (Koch Foods). This time, the feds have already taken $467 from Lora Costner’s $401K fund to pay the debt they don’t owe.
The monkeys push the buttons. It doesn’t matter if you have a valid concern, legitimate reason or other issue. IRS collects. The monkey just pushes the buttons.

Monkey? Dang, you give them a lot of credit for intelligence. I was betting on the rat pushing the button.

Almost a direct quote from an IRS official who agreed that my business partner had stolen tax funds withheld from my check to pay himself back for loans he had made from the company:
“But we don’t really care. The money is owed and you have the money so we will get it from you.”
