While I’m happy, with what I believe will mean that I don’t owe all this money to the IRS, what struck me most, today and yesterday, is this need for the IRS to be “protected”. First, having their offices in a building that’s off the beaten path with no signs out front to let others know who’s housed inside. Second, not allowing anyone to come up to the second floor until they’re vetted first and then having an armed guard not only within several feet of the agents but wanding and patting down anyone who arrives.

There are A LOT of nuts and assholes out there and unfortunately many of them are armed. Hopefully precautions like these will protect and save lives.
