It\u2019s great that you called.  I\u2019m glad you waited.  Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hey, Rush.  How are you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Fine.  Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Good.  I was listening to the news this morning. It\u2019s April 15th, tax day, and they were talking about how the IRS is running out of money or doesn\u2019t have enough money to answer over 60% of phone calls.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, you know why?  I was watching news today, too, \u2019cause I couldn\u2019t help it.  I just saw a story, Sally, that they\u2019ve discovered they\u2019ve spent like millions and millions of dollars on furniture for the offices at various IRS locations and so forth.  Just a bunch of extraneous, worthless stuff.  I mean, yeah, the idea that any government agency doesn\u2019t have enough money in this country is absurd.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, I agree.  I was just wondering, made me think, you know, are the taxpayers gonna be off the hook and able to ignore any IRS correspondence if they don\u2019t get their taxes right this year?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_104792\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushFlag2.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Doesn\u2019t work that way.  You know it.  You know that.  You\u2019re asking a rhetorical question.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I know.  But it\u2019s just so infuriating, and if you try to follow and get it right and then to hear them say &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It\u2019s not possible.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I know.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It isn\u2019t possible.  Hell, what did I just see, Obama just added 3,000 pages arbitrarily to the tax code with some of his new executive orders on taxes and so forth.  It\u2019s impossible, I think, for an ordinary, average American to get his tax return right.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  It seems like they have the IRS doing all these things that are not really their main purpose, and, you know, following up on people that don\u2019t pay for Obamacare. It just seems like he they are sending the IRS on all these other things that aren\u2019t their main job description.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It\u2019s all collection.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yep.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  And that\u2019s their job.  It\u2019s all collection.  And if you owe money because you don\u2019t have an insurance policy as mandated by Obamacare, it\u2019s their job to get the money from you.  And they\u2019re gonna take it out of your refund if they have to.  They have the power of law behind them on that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is Sally in Richmond, Virginia. It\u2019s great that you called.
