What do you think of the IRS's excessive spending? Does it make it worse that this excessive spending occurred during a time when tea party groups and conservatives were being targeted by the government? Is the Obama administration to blame? Do you trust the government with your money?

I saw something about this last night on the news. Roads and Bridges I understand having to pay taxes for, but speakers that cost a lot? No! I do not agree with the massive spending. Last night on the news it said that in a 2010 conference meeting $4 Million alone was spent. How does spending for it get up that high? $27,000 to dance? That is way too much. If these are the people supposedly trying to keep our country in order and a seemingly okay financial stand point, then I want them off the chair!

It looked like that video could have been made for 100$. I don't understand how they spent that much. Excessive spending is bad no matter when it happens. I don't think any one president is responsible. The government isn't doing a good job with money.

The IRS's excessive spending is crazy. I can't imagine spending 50 millions dollars the way the IRS has. I am ignorant about politics so I don't know who's blame it is. I don't trust the government with my money. I have learned in life to be careful who to trust.

I could careless about what the IRS spends their money on. I'll just pay my taxes, go to work, and repeat. I think Obama gets the short end of the stick, because he'll get blamed if this effects anyhting else.

I don't think the IRS should be spending so much. It can't be good for the economy. It does make it worse that it's occurring during a time when the tea party is being targeted. I do think the Obama administration is to blame. I don't really trust the government with my money.

I think that the IRS is going to do whatever it is going to do. It does not make it worse during the time which groups are being targeted by the government. Oh wait that always happens. Obama is to blame because he is the head of state. I don't trust anybody with my money except me.

Thomas B. said...

At this point, I don't care. It's nor worse to me. I don't care about the who is to blame. I just care that it gets fixed. And I don't trust my friends and parents with my money. There's no way I trust my government.

The IRS shouldn't be spending so much money. It does make it worse that this occurred during a time when tea party groups and conservatives are being targeted by the government. I think Obama is to blame because he is our president. I don't like to trust anyone with my money.

I think the IRS is spending too much money for unnecessary reasons. I really don't know a whole lot about this situation so I'll pretend that I keep up with it. I think the tea party groups are paying too much for tea and the IRS is spending too much money on dancing. I think the Osama administration is to blame not Obama. I only trust myself with my money. So yeah that's how I feel.

I think the excessive spending is ridiculous. Who would spend that much money on some stupid experts! I don't know who is the blame. Everybody on that level plays a part in the spending someway somehow. I don't trust the government with my money at all. If they can't keep up with their owns.

Courtney Morrill said...

The IRS should not be spending this much. I don't know a lot about this topic, but spending millions of dollars like that is crazy. I'm not really sure who is to blame for this excessive spending. I definitely do not trust the government with my money.

Ashlyn Archer said...

What the video said it seems like they are excessive spending. It is crazy to think that our money is going for them to dance in meetings. It is crazy! Obama is nothing to blame for this because they are gonna do whatever they want. I don't trust anyone with my money but myself. It's my money, I don't even like it when people borrow money from me.

Myiah Cook said...

I don't agree with the IRS's excessive spending. Why would anyone spend $27,000 dollars to dance? That's stupid. I do think that the excessive spending that occurred during a time when tea party groups and conservatives were being targeted by the government makes it worse. I think the Obama administration to blame. I do not trust the government with my money.

Leslee Umphlett said...

The IRS shouldn't be spending as much as it is. With the economy as unstable as it is, the IRS can't be spending a lot of money. The Obama administration is apparently to blame for everything that goes wrong in this country. United States citizens need to realize that we can't blame everything on the president; not everything is his fault. I don't trust the government with my money whatsoever. There was a Great Depression at one point and history can definitely repeat itself.

Darion said...

The IRS shouldn't spend so much money. I don't know much about this, but spending millions of dollars is ridiculous. I don't know who to blame. I don't trust the government with my money.

I don't really care what the IRS is spending money on. But I guess if it's stupid things they're using my tax money for I'd be kinda upset. But there's nothing we can do about it so why bother

Kellie Matthews said...

The IRS shouldn't be spending excessive money, but they're going to do what they want to do. Even though Obama may have not directly had anything thing to do with it, he is still going to get blamed. That's just the way it is since he is the head of the country. I don't really know if I trust the government with my money.

Breanna said...

The IRS should not be spending this much. Our economy is already down the drain so why not just let the IRS screw it up even more. It's so stupid that they are spending it on stupid things. They really need to learn now to budget money and try to fix our economy. I do not trust the government with my money.

Hunter Alexander said...

The IRS is going to do whatever. Its all a conspiracy. I do not trust the government.

Mason C said...

The IRS is a bunch of democrats and that spawns a problem in itself. There is a reason republicans are referred to as "conservatives" and democrats are liberals. Democrats don't know how to conserve, they just spend spend spend. This is why the IRS spends so much money, because they are all DEMOCRATS.

abby haring said...

I don't think its right for them to have excessive spending. It does make it worse because they targeted the non liberals more. Its Obama of course he is to blame. I don't trust the government with my money because all they care about is what benefits them.

Cass C said...

I could really care less what the IRS is up to. It does make it worse that the excessive spending was during the time when tea party groups and conservatives were being targeted. I dont trust the government with my money, i only trust myself with my money.

Holly Watson said...

The IRS spends to much money. I don't think Obama is to blame. I don't really care about how it happened, but it I do think it is a group of people to blame. Congress effects how thinks turn out. Obama can't do everything by himself, congress has to help him.

Hunter Dixon said...

They are spending to much money. It does make it worse. Of course Obama is gonna get blamed. I don't trust them with my money.
