IRS Sends Two Agents To Collect $0.04 (...yes, four cents)

Fricking unbelievable. A harbinger of the future as Big Government escalates taxation to cover the checks written by the Obama/Pelosi/Reid debt juggernaut.

Arriving at Harv's Metro Car Wash in midtown Wednesday afternoon were two dark-suited IRS agents demanding payment of delinquent taxes. "They were deadly serious, very aggressive, very condescending," says Harv's owner, Aaron Zeff.

The really odd part of this: The letter that was hand-delivered to Zeff's on-site manager showed the amount of money owed to the feds was ... 4 cents.

Inexplicably, penalties and taxes accruing on the debt – stemming from the 2006 tax year – were listed as $202.31, leaving Harv's with an obligation of $202.35.

Zeff, who also owns local parking lots and is the president of the Midtown Business Association, finds the situation a bit comical.

"It's hilarious," he says, "that two people hopped in a car and came down here for just 4 cents. I think (the IRS) may have a problem with priorities."

...no shit!

Well, the actually came down there for $202.35.

Which makes so much more sense.

Hey, they just got me for $163.00 almost 2 FRIGGIN YEARS after the fact. I failed to include $1,028.00 in debt cancellation as "INCOME". Not like I did maliciously. If they need it that bad, they can have it.
