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’re already way over paid to screw us with our own money. Most need a prison term, not a raise.
Bonus payments! For what? Perfoming more needless and harrassing audits which end up being determined that “no change” in deemed necessary from original filing. Thats four years in a row now. I walk away without paying extra, oh except for the lawyers fees. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling all over knowing that I need to pay on average $2100 in legal fees just so the IRS can eventually tell me I filed my taxes correctly in the first place. I have been paying federal income taxes since 1974 and never had a problem, now I have been auditted EVERY single year that Obama has been in the WH!!!!!!! We all need to be very afraid of Obama and his ever growing IRS.
HE IS A JERK
why the hell do they need a bonus. they make too much as it is. get rid of the irs and have a flat tax. we get 1.5 on s.s. and they want a bonus, if any thing give them a paycut, they deserve it, the bunch of crooked stealing $#%&!@*s
