TAXES ARE FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE: Inspector General: IRS Rehired Hundreds of Former Employees With Performance Issues, Including Failing to File Tax Returns.

UPDATE: From the comments:

Nepotism and cronyism are rife in the IRS. IRS facilities are replete with relatives and friends of the bosses. If you examine their personnel lists you will see the same names coming up, again and again, in different parts of the building. What is happening is that the honchos are taking care of each other’s retainers.

See, just another reason to abolish the civil service.
