IRS Said to Improperly Restrict Access

Guardian Unlimited:

"WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration has illegally stopped making public detailed tax enforcement data, which has been used to show which kinds of taxpayers get the most and toughest audits, a noted tax researcher says.

Syracuse University Professor Susan B. Long said in papers filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle late last week that since Nov. 1, 2004, the Internal Revenue Service has violated a 1976 court order requiring the release of the data."

Do you suppose this has anything to do with the fact that the IRS has been illegally collecting party affiliation on citizens for the last two years?

Feeling safer yet?
