No matter how he tries to spin it most Americans might have a problem awarding bonus payments to the IRS.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew not only defended the granting of bonuses to IRS employees Wednesday before the Senate Finance committee, he said there was not a proper level of funding for the agency to “do everything that we really need them to do.”
Under questioning from Sen. John Thune (R., S.D.) over the agency’s targeting of conservative groups and concern that employees involved were still granted bonuses, Lew said there were no signs of political interference in any of his department’s reviews.
It’s little things like this that make Senator Ted Cruz’ call to abolish the IRS so popular!

They should have their pay cut instead.
Fire his sorry butt.
These Crooks deserve nothing better than a padded cell & wrapped in a white tie down suit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MERCY! (That’s “mercy”, not “merci”!)
You realize that these people work for us… They make more than us, they have better benefits than us, they have more holidays with pay than us, and they have a better retirement than us…… all with no personal skin in the game, no risk of any kind. What is wrong with this picture? Oh, and they predominantly vote democrat!
Is this guy off his rocker? We want to do away with the IRS, not pay them more money that we can’t afford.
Best solution is to shut down the IRS, NOW.
Yes they do. They did a very good job for the Democratic Party.
