By the lights of IRS Commissioner Koskinen . . . everything would have been copacetic ???
The short version: The Head of the IRS admits to congress that the agency allows, perhaps more accurately, promotes and encourages, illegal aliens (I like that term better than “immigrants”) to steal identities in order to get tax refunds and justifies it by calling it “a good reason”!!!!
IRS chief: Agency encourages illegal immigrant theft of SSNs to file tax returns
The IRS is struggling to ensure that illegal immigrants are able to illegally use Social Security numbers for legitimate purposes, the agency’s head told senators on Tuesday, without allowing the numbers to be used for “bad” reasons.
Lawmakers call for IRS chief’s head after stolen SSN admission
Congressional disgust with IRS Commissioner John Koskinen deepened on Wednesday after his claim that the agency effectively encourages illegal immigrants to file tax returns using fraudulent Social Security numbers, with lawmakers calling for his ouster.
The Capone question seems apt. That is what he went to jail for — tax evasion — not the underlying crimes. That the IRS commissioner encourages illegal immigrants to file tax returns using fraudulent Social Security numbers, so we get the taxes, and disregard the underlying illegal activity, says he ought to do a stretch in Capone’s alma mater (it’s still there) along with Obama as the capo dei capi.
