This bombshell dropped on Monday in Washington, D.C., causing outrage throughout the halls of Congress, and now beyond, to the “genuine” taxpayers who have been robbed all across America.
Investigative television reporter Bob Segall of Indianapolis NBC affiliate WTHR TV Channel 13, was contacted by a long-time central Indiana tax preparer, who blew the whistle on a multi-billion dollar tax fraud about which the IRS has done nothing, according to the TV news show video segment that aired on Monday.
“There is not a doubt in my mind there’s huge fraud taking place here,” he said, slowly flipping through the pages of a [heavily redacted] tax return.
“We’re talking about a multi-billion dollar fraud scheme here that’s taking place and no one is talking about it,” he said.
The scheme involves illegal immigrants that are filing tax returns, claiming child credits for multiple dependents under their support in “their” U.S. household, and collecting enormous cash refunds–such as one persons tax return that showed income of over $14,000, who collected a cash refund of over $10,300.
Other news regarding the Obama Rackets? Is the GSA involved in a kickback scheme? Lovely, isn’t it?
It turns out the General Services Administration has a tax problem in addition to its spending problem.
On Thursday, congressional investigators said they’ve learned that the much-maligned agency last year demanded a share of the federal energy-efficiency tax breaks it was offering to contractors, in order to spend the money on other projects.
Rep. Charles Boustany Jr. (R., La.), chairman of a Ways and Means oversight subcommittee, said in a statement on Thursday that “requiring a cash payment in exchange for a tax deduction is a kickback, pure and simple.” He fired off a letter to a number of Obama administration officials, demanding more information.
Aides also released a copy of a form letter that suggests the GSA last year was trying to force private contractors to give back part of the cash value of an energy-efficiency tax break known as the Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction, or 179D, that GSA was allocating to them during construction projects. The tax break provides a deduction to projects that significantly improve a building’s energy efficiency.
In the form letter, GSA offers to allocate the tax break to the contractor “upon payment to GSA of 19 percent of the deduction amount.” The letter adds that the funds would be “used by GSA to invest in additional energy-efficiency projects.”
Adopted in 2005, the 179D deduction allows for government building owners to allocate the benefit of the tax break to private contractors, even though government agencies don’t normally have to pay tax. But experts say the purpose was so government agencies could ask for price concessions on construction projects, not to raise extra cash for new ventures.
Concerning todays podcast. I am a Roman Catholic who also happens to be gay. I love my Catholic faith. It is my hope, strength, daily bread and foundation on which I have built my life. I get more than frustrated when a Teddy Kennedy, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi and the likes *come out* and use their self proclaimed catholic faith to further their repulsive agenda. They are no more Catholic than Jesse Jackson.
This brings me to the *million* mom JC Penny situation. There may be a million moms who are behind that idea that moms are a force to be reckoned with. Yet you can sign up, be a member and never have anything to do with the organization again. A few people at the top can be the spokeswomen, make the decisions and the other 999,990 say they are part of the organization.
I think Ellen Degeneres is a funny lady. She is a decent, respectable woman. I do not agree with her politics but I like her. I don’t give a rats ass if she is gay. None of my fellow Catholic, gay moms could care less either. It is the fringe that spoil and ruin the name of the rest. Anyone can say anything and claim to be whatever.
That being said, we have to try not to let this crap upset us, simply because it is not worth it. The majority get it. In the long run, these people will have to answer to God. And in the meantime, they have to live with themselves, which has to be a pretty severe punishment in itself.
Hear, Hear Teri – you nailed it.
The old aphorism comes to mind: If you scatter pigeon food, pigeons show up.
Can’t wait for all the shoes to drop on the IRS ‘tax’ refund issue.
Regarding, the Democrat’s ‘Julia’ campaign: Besides all the other criticisms of it, my criticism is that it is like those fantasy new car commercials. The ones where you are the only car on the road down a metropolitan thoroughfare and you pull up right in front of the nightclub, museum, restaurant, etc. ‘Julia’ exists as the only person in the world, no indication that there are others who will be competing for resources because there is a limit to resources. So at its core, ‘Julia’ exists in a world of no resource limits. And that’s a big lie.
Who said this today re ‘Julia’: “Our character is John Wayne, rugged individualism…”
