IRS targeting adoptive parents

[ProdigalHorn]

This has gotten unbelievable. How in the tank do you have to be when you use the IRS to prop up the abortion industry by attacking people who actually have the gall to adopt children?Yeah... that just happened...

And knowing that, they responded by auditing them more? If you know there's going to be a jump, why do you decide to go after them that disproportionately with audits?

Answer is given in your own post: "I don't think they knew there were that many". So basically they gave this credit but (as usual) had no idea what the actual impact was going to be. And when they see people are actually using it more than they expected, they respond with a costly and unnecessary audit.

You didn't read the rest of my post where I did qualify my first point (goes with cooling down as you type, I guess. I suppose I could have gone back and changed my first paragraph to reflect where I ended up, but I didn't feel like doing it.)

And good for you for staying with your pat response of defending all things liberal. Weird how that's the only time I ever see you post anything.

The OP stands. They did in fact target adoptive parents. Do you deny that? The reason for it is up for debate, but the best you can go for is stupidity.

Shouldn't the IRS be team independent?

Both Prodigal and MichTex make beautiful arguments against the ridiculous complexity of the tax code.

The answer, gentlemen, is a flat tax or fair tax, and the complete abolition of the IRS. But that won't happen because it will take power away from congress and the political class (hard to hand out favors or punishment via the tax code when the code is exceptionally simple).

Exactomundo Sangre.......the IRS is the strongest most powerful political weapon known to man and used by both parties. No matter how logical the plan may be to replace it with a simple tax plan it will NEVER pass.
And while they may be 'short' staffed now, just wait till they get the new hires to enforce Obama Care. The power will be obnoxious.
