If you’re still incensed by the latest Internal Revenue Service scandal, this Daily Caller article from Patrick Howley won’t help you calm down.
In 2010, the Internal Revenue Service dropped $4 million on a swanky conference in Anaheim, California where IRS employees learned, among other things, how to be “direct and honest, open and transparent” when speaking with taxpayers.
The IRS employees learned from a “pioneer in the field of eliminating defensiveness” how to stop communicating using the “rules of war.”
The pricey event included lavish hotel rooms for IRS officials at the Anaheim Marriott and elsewhere, according to a report by the Treasury Department Inspector General.
The tax collection agency has since admitted to multiple years of selectively abusing conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status on the basis of their politics, despite insisting in years past that no such abuses were going on.
Perhaps the IRS should seek a refund?
