" The article must be wrong to omit such relevant information that you seem to know all about."

FFS, do you think these folks don't get training in what to look for?

For example, I remind everyone who's getting audited never ever EVER lie to the IRS: they've already looked you up on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc., and they probably know if you just got back from a three week vacation in the Bahamas.

Of course, those tactics aren't spelled out in the taxpayer bill of rights.

"It seems new reports of tainted food are rolling out on a regular basis."

Turns out the only Vegetable that hasn't been recalled is Mitch McConnell.

"DEI is peak toxicity."

Really? I would've thought the way blacks have been treated historically surpasses your current hurt fee-fees.

Descriptive paragraph: "...and Donald Trump was elected vowing to eliminate DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion)"

Post #2: "This thread has nothing to do with Trump."

Looks like the poster didn't even read his own explanatory paragraph.

"Their race-obsessed thinking reduces America to intersectional classifications of oppressed and oppressor."

So...the answer is to pretend redlining never existed??? Jim Crow laws were never invoked? All slaves got 40 acres and a mule?

Which parts of that history never happened?

" Why are you going there?"

Reread my post as many times as it takes.

The insistence for further investigation could've been triggered by a half-dozen reasons, INCLUDING externals.

And they're not going to say, give us a picture of your wardrobe. They're going to say, show us your W-2s and tax return.

So ... my point stands. It could've been a half-dozen reasons she got snagged, including lifestyle.

That's the same way the IRS operates.

Full disclosure: ~40 years ago, I got a panicked call one night to sit on my local union board after an embezzlement scandal. Our local exec got turned in by the couple across the street, who made the same money, but couldn't understand how their neighbors could afford a new boat, and a new car every year.

Sometimes, you're turned in by jealous neighbors who see day-to-day proof.

" it's time to just stop using dollars and move to a gold silver Bitcoin financial system that can't be manipulated"

Tell us you're the dumbest Mofo on the planet without using those specific words.

" The lady quoted in the article was complaining about the documentation they were requesting, not scrutiny over her wardrobe."

That doesn't mean it wasn't possibly a factor.

So ... You'd believe someone who's wearing a $9000 outfit is dead broke? And for the meeting, she arrives a in a new, top-of-the-line Lexus? Dead broke?

"---- off. You deserve everything you are getting."

All I'm getting is you misrepresenting what actually happened.

As usual.

Luckily, anyone who can read can see it clearly.

" Shoving the BS back in your face. You NEVER accept a similar explanation from me."

That because you don't have the class to post the truth to begin with, then when you get caught, you refuse to admit you were wrong, take responsibility, and apologize.

You will also never see me make that argument again.

You know ... All the things that widely separate me from you.

Pretending it's the same is just another lie from you.
