But we can trust IRS employees to regulate preparers, right?
November 04, 2009
How could this happen?
An IRS employee pleaded guilty on Tuesday in federal court to stealing mail from the IRS facility on Pershing Road, prosecutors said.Latrice Antoinette Murray, 38, of Kansas City, Mo., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple to charges contained in a Sept. 8, 2009, indictment.
Murray admitted that she rifled through misdirected and/or misdelivered mail, removing and stealing cash and gift cards from the mail. She admitted to the court that she stole mail on five different dates between Feb. 9 and April 9.
I'd feel a lot better about regulating me if they seemed more capable of regulating their own.

Hi Joe,
I forgot to tell you that my plan for taxpayer regulation contains a Joe Kristan exception.

The IRS soon to manage health care, tax preparer regulation... this is all a really, really bad dream, right?
