Subject: comment on IRS tactics

Comment: Gentlemen, and I do use that term loosly due to the manner in which we were treated, We have many years of dealig with you. We normally hired a professional so we wouldn't be in trouble with your rules. It's a shame a citizen has to go to that expense because of the maze you use as rules; of course, it's a shame your agents use an exclaimer so you cannot trust what they tell you also. We went out of country as ex-patriot. While there, we were careful to stay the required number of days, we also made a point to go to the counselate and vote for our government. After following all the rules and returning home successfully, several years passed and suddenly we were audited. We were not only audited, we were lied to, steamed-rolled, threatened, harassed, and made to feel like we had done a very evil disloyalty to our government. I have never understood why we weren't treated like the rest of the employees in our company and were singled out for the royal treatment. The treatment you gave us was shameful. The Fair Tax can't be as badly managed as the joke you are using now.
