Turns Out Buying Votes Has Consequences - Go Figure

Washington Post: 

IRS halts processing claims for pandemic tax credit tied to fraud

The measure was meant to help hard-hit firms, but the agency warns it is ‘not operating as it was intended’

The "Employee Retention Credit" that came about as a result of the Covid Scamdemic turned out to be the underwater earthquake that caused a massive tsunami of fraudulent claims...wow, go fucking figure, huh?  The number of fraudulent claims has caused the IRS to suspend the program.  The only reason that there were "hard-hit firms" in the first place was because the goddamned government made them shut their doors....because of the flu season.....mmmmkaaay....

Mr. Haney devises a plan with Ebb to file a claim for an Employee Retention Credit

Americans like to believe that we live in a Norman Rockwell United States and our "elected leaders" like to write policy and law as if we are all the residents of Bedford Falls.  Personally, I think that they know better and deep down most Americans recognize that there is a "critical mass" of assclowns, frauds, scammers, etc.  If you doubt that, just go look at the price of a new car.
