— IRS announces new plan to hire more agents for high-dollar cases to keep ‘wealthiest filers accountable’ – Katherine Donlevy (COMMENT: The Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 a) wasted my knowledge of IRS, b) wasted my career, and b) forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981.)
