It's really rather disappointing to see the IRS lawyer up and slow walk these responses to judicial orders. They'd collect a lot more tax revenue if they set a model of being honest in their behavior.IRS workers erased 422 computer backup tapes that "most likely" contained as many as 24,000 emails to and from former IRS official Lois Lerner, who has emerged as a central figure in congressional investigations, according to IRS's inspector general.

Would you do business with them? |
