Arriving at Harv's Metro Car Wash in midtown Wednesday afternoon were two dark-suited IRS agents demanding payment of delinquent taxes. "They were deadly serious, very aggressive, very condescending," says Harv's owner, Aaron Zeff.
The really odd part of this: The letter that was hand-delivered to Zeff's on-site manager showed the amount of money owed to the feds was ... 4 cents.
Yeah, 4 cents isn't enough to fly a plane into a building, but several thousand dollars?
You may say that all of Joe Stack's problems were self-inflicted, and they very well could have been; maybe he was just following the plainly-written IRS code (as if anything about the IRS code is plainly written). And it's my opinion that the IRS is as bad as, if not worse than, the ATF as far as "interpreting" regulations. It is almost axiomatic that you cannot get the same answer twice regarding a tax question by asking the IRS.
Regardless, I believe the only ones who think the IRS is infallable are the IRS, and collectivists.
