(Daily Caller) The Internal Revenue Service already in hot water for concealing its abuses of Conservative & Jewish nonprofits from Congress, appears to have low-balled U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) who inquired last year how much of the taxpayers money it was spending on lavish parties for staffers.
According to a report issued on the 31 May by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, IRS officials spent wasted more than $49 Million on more than 200 conferences for employees between 2010-2012
Last year when Sen Coburn inquired, from then Obama Cabinet Member, Secy of the Treasury Timothy Geithner how much the IRS had spent on conferences during that exact period, Treasury replied that the IRS had only spent $500,000 on five conferences.
That is a fraction of what the IRS spent on just one $4.1 Million conference in Anaheim, California during which attendees were treated to a $17,000 keynote speaker who performance-painted portraits of celebrities–IRS festivities included spending $50,000 producing a very bad parody video of “Star Trek” and an employee dance routine.
Faris Fink (good surname for him, I digress) the Commissioner of Small Business and Self Employed Division, portrayed “Spock” in the very poor “Star Trek” parody and according to Politico stayed 5 nights in a two bedroom presidential suite at the Anaheim Hilton.
