Huh, they're just following instructions from elected reps and the president, like they're required to by law.

I don't think anyone is directly paying the IRS officials or corrupting them, they're paying lobbyists and donating to political campaigns. Intuit spends a LOT on lobbying, 6.6 million just in 1 year or something like that.

If we fire everyone involved in the IRS, the new folks who go against the same political diktats will be fired by the President.
