Guess what else is in the bailout bill?<br>
Downsize DC<br>
by James Leroy Wilson<br>
<br>
"Do you think the IRS should set up undercover operations to entrap
unsuspecting taxpayers? Do you think the IRS should release your
confidential tax returns to law enforcement and intelligence agencies
upon request? If you answered 'No!' to either question, you're out of
luck. Before its October recess, Congress passed a bill giving the IRS
these powers. You may ask, 'Why didn't Downsize DC oppose this bill?'
As a matter of fact, we wrote against it virtually non-stop for two
weeks! Don't remember? That's understandable. These provisions are
buried in Sections 401 and 402 of Division C in H.R. 1424, the Bailout
bill." (11/10/08)<br>
