work for the irs. this week, we find out that irs employees, many of whom don't pay their taxes, who have been disciplined for conduct issues still got paid, till got bonuses and then got extra time off. if you recall last year during the sequester, the idea of getting bonuses to the people in the irs was put off for a while. so we find out that they're giving the bonuses out. why give bonuses or extra time off to a federal employee who has got a be jo, who has time off, free health care, sick time, vacation time and a pension. and why reward employees for performance they're already being paid for. the irs says that the reason for the bonuses is to ensure the proper stewardship of government funds and the effectiveness of the awards system. what awards system? they get awarded every week when they get a paycheck.
