IRS blaming Republicans
for “Slow” service this year saying”Congress
intentionally cut the IRS budget because of last years supposed IRS
Scandal. They say they had no other choice but to make the cuts in
“Customer Service” and this will only hurt the taxpayers. Now,
examining that statement, there are so many things wrong.
Yes, congress “AND”
the senate did this. Adding that it was a “Democratic”
senate at that time. Secondly, the cut was a cut on the IRS as a
whole. IRS chose where to make cuts and “they”
chose to cut in the customer service division. They could have made
cuts overall and done away with raises and bonuses, but
they didn't. They could have made cuts in travel budgets and
sub-contracting budgets to private sector accountants and auditors.
They didn't. One can look at this any way they want, but the IRS
could have made cuts without any disruption or slowing down of
customer service. and blaming the Republican party for their proposed
“Inadequate customer service” that the taxpayers are going to
experience is just another attempt of the IRS to put a blemish on the
Republican party in retribution for their recognition of the IRS's
actions to disrupt/stall its' parties 501 c 3 status applications for
certain republican factions heading into the 2012 elections.
The IRS is also claiming that wait time for refunds will be longer, and Email complaints and/or questions will be in diar need of help noting that there just won't be enough personel to get these answered in a timely manner
*Note; Keep in mind that the pay for a Customer Service Rep. is $31,067 - $52,312 The IRS claims that last year the average customer service call wait time was approxinately 4 minutes.This year the same call after cuts will be quote “Long enough to knit a sock”! Did
they terminate “ALL”
of their customer service representatives?
