IRS ordered to comply with 30 year old FOIA request.

June 18th, 2008 | by Dusty |

Judge Marsha Pechman, of the Western District of Washington in Seattle, ordered the IRS to get their shit together within the next thirty days and comply with THREE, count em three, Freedom of Information Act requests that were generated in 1976.

wtf? 1976? From The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press website:

The FOIA saga that spanned four decades began in 1974 when Long, then a graduate student at The University of Washington, filed her original request for statistics from the IRS. She received a court order to enforce the request two years later.

For years, the IRS complied, providing her with the information about its audit policies and practices. Starting in mid-2004, however, the IRS stopped sending Long data.

Interesting no? Wonder who has been paying for all these court cases to toss a little sunlight on the IRS..

    In a nut shell(not being a nut) the Income Tax is illegal. There are around 10 very famous lawyers that I could name off; if I didn’t just get done swimming two miles in the Caribbean. These lawyers, who, and how there paid I don’t know, but they are famous; well as famous as you can get, and not have the MSM cover it!! When I wake up from a soon to be ciesta I’ll try to find a couple of the names.

    Peace and Freedom
