I actually posted a dupe that I deleted, because I read this and was so mad that I didn't look to see if anyone else had posted. To me, this is possibly more egregious than the "conservative targeting". With all the data mining and analysis capabilities in the IRS, how do they not have flags for something like this? They can audit someone for having one too many "business lunches", but they can't flag more than "X" refunds to a single address in a single reporting year?

The auditors must all be looking for conservatives or something.
Actually, with the Earned Income Tax Credit, tax refunds have been used as a form of wealth redistribution for a while now. It doesn't work that way for everyone, but it does for some.(https://armedpolitesociety.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rottenecards.com%2Fecards%2FRottenecards_907146_6bdkwzx5tq.png&hash=c569beb1a3ff25e841a2d2b80a6f3ad467c7f210)

EITC is one of the biggest tax scams there is. All you need a little earned income (and you can lie about that: Hair Stylist, Day Care, etc.) and a 1-3 kids and you get all what you "paid" in taxes back, plus up to $5,900 in refundable credits. I was amazed that many people knew exactly how much they had to "make" to get the max amount.
[emily_litella]But, at least illegal aliens that break our laws will not be allowed to stay. Or if they do, will pay for their crimes.[/emily_litella]
[news_anchor]Actually, they can have several misdemeanors or an assortment of felonies pending against them and they will be wiped clean[/news_anchor]
[emily_litella]Oh. Well that's different![/emily_litella]
[news_anchor]Yes...[/news_anchor]
[emily_litella]Never mind.[/emily_litella]
. . . Best put any breakable objects out of reach, as the following link and image shows how the amnesty bill will codify in law that illegal aliens who commit a slew of offenses, to include felonies punishable by years in jail and beau coup fines, get a break not offered to mere citizens. . . .Criminals have been a "favored" class at least since SCOTUS determined that convicted felons were exempt from prosecution when it comes to gun registration violations.
I have Fox Business on the boob tube running in the background. I just now heard that not only did these refunds go to the same address, but were also all transferred to the same bank account. If that is true, then it is almost unbelievable that the IRS has no automated alarm for that.
... convicted felons were exempt from prosecution when it comes to gun registration violations.That is a fifth amendment issue. You can't require anyone to register something they can not legally own.
