Remember the story this week from the Better Business Bureau about the IRS phone scammers "strong arming" people?   One of our Newstalk friends was exposed to it.

The Better Business Bureau says a new scam utilizing phone calls from people claiming to be from the IRS have already claimed a number of victims.

Probably didn't make the news much lately, at least not the mainstream media, but critics are calling it a HUGE victory for conservative non-profit groups.

Doing your taxes is unpleasant enough already, but there are also some shifty characters out there who want to make the pain even worse.

The U.S. Inspector General released a report Wednesday indicating thousands of people are getting refunds from IRS they have no business receiving.

The Fair Tax Foundation is presenting a look at alternative tax systems.

Another scandal for the troubled IRS.

Next Wednesday a rally is planned in the Tri-Cities to coincide with a massive march on Washington D.C.

Conservative groups are accusing the EPA of charging them fees by way of the Freedom of Information Act when they were trying to obtain data from the department. Documents show the EPA waived the fees for liberal environmental groups far more than for conservative organizations.

The list of groups allegedly "investigated" unconstitutionally by the IRS keeps growing, and now includes potential involvement by a major Obama supporter.
