IRS Credit Cards Used for Porn and Booze
Let’s forget for the moment about the current scandal involving the IRS targeting conservative groups for the apparent fun of it. Instead, let’s talk about the newest brew in the pot… credit cards.
Had I been aware of any policy in effect allowing Internal Revenue Service employees to party hard on the government dime, well, I wouldn’t be complaining. Hell, I’d be working there.
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration has released a report detailing how IRS agents can party and bill the taxpayer for wine, extravagant dinners and, my personal favorite, porn. And how hard can they party? 28 bottles of wine for 41 people hard.
That’s rivaling my own record.
Dinners in excess of $140 per person and lunches, yes, I said lunches, in excess of $100 per person. What were they doing? Eating at McDonald’s? In Paris? Flying the now-in-mothballs Concorde to get there?
But the real jewel is how the IRS commented on how they have inadequate controls to stop inappropriate purchases. Having said that and considering how I might be interested in seeing the new sex-tape featuring Farrah Abraham (purely in the journalistic pursuit of accuracy in reporting…,) this might be a good career change for me.
When can I start?
