“Public outrage over recent revelations of IRS corruption and abuse has prompted Nina Olson, employed by the agency as its ‘National Taxpayer Advocate,’ to suggest making ‘apology payments’ of $1,000 to taxpayers who have been mistreated. If adopted, Olson’s plan would cap payments at a total of $1 million a year. To understand the magnitude of the insult offered by Olson’s proposal, consider a recently publicized IRS conference that took place in Atlanta in 2008. The cost of that single event was $2.4 million – more than twice the amount proposed by the IRS to buy off public outrage over their profligacy, corruption, and state-sponsored terrorism.”
