Yellen names O'Donnell to temporarily steer IRS as it readies for major expansion

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Friday appointed Douglas O’Donnell as acting head of the IRS during a potentially transformative period for the agency.

O’Donnell, who is currently deputy commissioner for services and enforcement, would take charge of the IRS until a permanent replacement for outgoing Commissioner Chuck Rettig is confirmed. Biden has yet to nominate someone for the post.

It’s considered a key appointment after an $80 billion influx of funding by Congress designed to ramp up scrutiny of wealthy people who may be avoiding taxes, reverse a staff shortage and modernize woefully out-of-date technology...............

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
