surfingthoughts Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 It's kind of ironic that they don't like it when people steel from them (not saying steeling from them is moral). The IRS have been hacked again and apparently this is quite common with billions yearly being stolen. This might be worth putting in true news.

st434u Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Good riddance. Stealing from a robber is not immoral. It's a pity it's so little. They don't care about a few billion when they steal over 3 trillion per year. They only reason they make a fuss about it is publicity. Stealing from the taxpayers at large is bad though.

surfingthoughts Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 The money is still not in the hands of the owner and now isn't even going to contribute to anything I know the state would have wasted most of it but still, plus some of the tax payers want to pay tax... With money going missing they will probably want/already are getting more from the tax payers. I don't think the thieves are as bad as the tax man that's not what I am saying but I'm resisting calling it morally neutral. I'm up for hearing more of your argument though perhaps I could be persuaded, I could be missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirgall Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Well, someone used my info to steal money from the IRS by filing a false return... and they expect me to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfingthoughts Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'm sorry to hear that shirgall that's horrible. Claiming my tax back as a non Australian resident is proving difficult so much so I'm considering using a third party to chaise up some of the details from all the farms I worked at.
