In response to the IRS agent who with all the total disreguard for the American people that you have shown with your statement that we may all hate you but you don’t care, I say this…Your illegal agency is out to finish the job of distroying the middle class. Your agency is auditing women, single women, middle class people who have already lost all in this economy. Your agency is NOT auditing the wealthy, congressmen who are yrs behind in thir taxes. Funny thing is though…when you finish distroying the middle class…YOU WILL BE UNEMPLOYED! The very people you are after PAY your salary…HA HA HA…The rich pay no taxes as you well know and ALLOW them to get by with. Those of us who are so angry may decide to find rants and return to school and beome lawyers spendin the rest of our lives seeing that all of you are held accountable for how you have distroyed this country…

Yeah.. some of our applications are outdated, but our email policy and personal use policy is VERY explicit.

Additionally, we do have to visit all kinds of sites, like websites used by taxpayers who accept payments online and don’t report those sales as taxable income on their tax returns, among other, necessary, work related sites.

Yeah… you may hate us, but we really don’t care.
BTW, you’re all under audit! LOL… Just kidding.

Want to get them to follow the security policy? Start firing those who don’t…the ones that are still there will start to get the message.

All intelligent and sane citizens in the United States understand that ALL laws, rules, and regulations apply only to citizens and that the benevolent US government and all of its agencies are NEVER included as governed or controlled parties.

I like the part where the authorized mail servers were *more* vulnerable than the unauthorized ones. It’s probably just because they were newer so they older vulnerabilities would have been patched, but the numbers are interesting.

I agree with Mr. Crangles, Aug 11, 2006 comments posted at 11:52pm. The IRS computer system should be set up to control employee access and limit the access to only what is required for them to do their jobs, nothing more. Will this ever happen? Probably not. This would mean that supervisors, managers, directors etc. would have their access limited also. If this control really did happen, what if it was discovered that many positions did not even need a computer?

Among other things, they have to be able to read this web site to see what I’m saying about them.

Is there any reason why most IRS employees would even need access to anything but an intranet and possibly some .gov sites??

Why can’t the network be set-up to block access to the outside and to reject any e-mail from anything originating from a valid .gov domain?
