Stop the IRS outsourcing the collection of our taxes
Call your Senator to tell them to stop the IRS outsourcing the collection of our taxes. This is not the best use of our tax money as private companies will be paid a percentage of what they collect and have executives to pay and advertising to do.
The IRS isn’t telling us that on Aug 31st they will be turning over the first 40,000 taxpayer files to 3 private sector debt collection companies who will receive a bounty of up to 24% of the money they collect. This means that our very private information will end up in easily accessed expensive public companies rather than with cost efficient federal career professionals.
In pilot studies, people were subjected to harassment from companies that were looking to pick up their bounty. Check out: National Treasury Employees Union www.nteu.org
This Administration is also trying to cut in half the amount of IRS agents that look into trusts and the wealthy, while paying these private bill collectors to focus on middle class families! It’s all part of the ‘powers that be’ plan build up the wealthy class while drowning the Government.
