I still don’t entirely get the hubbub over the conferences and linedancing. Doesn’t anyone work in corporate? This is exactly the sort of thing they make people do for ‘team building’ and ‘morale’. Yes, the presidential suites were kind of out of hand, but all of the other stuff? Standard practice for any big business, and ultimately, of all of the government departments, the IRS is the most businesslike, filled with taxmen and not politicians. It’s a stressful enough job as is, I want my IRS auditors and people to have something to be happy about.
