Just spoke to Mr. M, who recounted a conversation he had this morning with a conservative co-worker, Bob. Bob said he and several of his friends - Republicans who have attended local tea party events but hold no official position with any organization, including the GOP - all have been audited in the last few months. The IRS told Bob he owed $6,000. When he and his accountant met with the IRS, the accountant managed to show the IRS that it, in fact, owed Bob $350.
