Surprise...Hillary Is A Hypocrite!

Clinton Foundation Pays Men More Than Women

Courtesy of TruthRevolt


The Daily Caller is reporting that male executives at the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation earn 38% more than female executives, according to a study of the foundation's IRS tax disclosures.
The foundation’s 2013 IRS form 990 reveals that nearly three times as many men as women occupy the executive suites at the Little Rock, Arkansas-based foundation.
On average, top male executives at the foundation earn $109,000 more than the top female executives with positions in the C-suite.
Meanwhile, on Equal Pay Day Hillary delivered a speech in Silicon Valley saying that equal pay for women was "long overdue."
“I feel like [equal pay] is something that’s long overdue,” she said at an event organized by Glassdoor, which compares salaries and working conditions at corporations.
“It is way past time to end the outrage of so many women still earning less than men on the job,” she said in her speech.
But that's not how her Foundation operates.
The foundation’s highest paid executive is Frederick Post, director of “sponsor and marketing,” who has built the foundation’s assets to $247 million. He received $484,000 in annual compensation.
The highest paid woman is CEO Virginia Ehrlich. Her pay is only $201,000, less than half that of Post’s.
The second-highest paid male is long-time Clinton associate Bruce Lindsay, who received $395,000 in annual compensation.
All eight male foundation execs earn $200,000 or more. Only one woman earned $200,000, while Stephanie Streett, its executive director, received a paltry $169,000.
Similarly, there are eight male executives but only three women occupying the Foundation's executive suites.

Federal Court Judge Calls IRS Dishonest

- The Washington Times - Thursday, April 14, 2016

A federal appeals court judge dubbed the IRS not trustworthy during oral argument Thursday as he and his colleagues tried to figure out whether tea party targeting is still going on.
Dozens of groups say the IRS not only treated them badly in the past, but the agency continues to subject them to special monitoring and intrusive scrutiny, damaging their reputation among potential donors and making it more likely the groups will face an audit because of their political beliefs.
 
The IRS insisted it has retrained its employees and instructed managers to behave better, but the panel of judges on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia did not seem convinced

“It’s hard to find the IRS to be an agency we can trust,” said Judge David B. Sentelle.
The lawyer for the IRS at one point acknowledged there were still “potential problems” with the way the agency monitors cases going forward, but insisted the initial targeting at the point groups apply for nonprofit status has ended.
The IRS’s internal auditor reported in 2013 that the agency singled out tea party and conservative groups for special scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. Investigators said the groups were asked intrusive questions and subjected to waits that stretched into years, potentially denying them their rights.



IRS officials admitted they erred, but said the problem was bad training and confusion about a 2010 Supreme Court decision, not an intent to target groups for political purposes.
Yet three years after the targeting was exposed, at least two groups are still awaiting approval — their lawyer said they applied more than five years ago — and dozens of others say the IRS is still harming them with continued special monitoring. The groups also say the IRS has plans to make public all of the improper information the tax agency forced the groups to turn over during their applications.
A lower federal court rejected the groups’ claims, saying the IRS’s assurances it cleaned up its act made the cases generally moot.

But Judge Sentelle and Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg, who sat during the oral argument Thursday, questioned that. A third panelist, Judge Karen L. Edwards, was absent from argument but will help decide the case.

IRS chief: Agency encourages illegal immigrant theft of SSNs to file tax returns

     I just read the following article with utter disbelief.  The IRS is knowingly allowing the theft of our social security numbers as long as the criminals aren't being too criminal. 


IRS chief: Agency encourages illegal immigrant theft of SSNs to file tax returns: The IRS is struggling to ensure that illegal immigrants are able to illegally use Social Security numbers for legitimate purposes, the agency's head told senators on Tuesday, without allowing the numbers to be used for bad reasons.

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen made the statement in response to a question from Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., during a session of the Senate Finance Committee about why the IRS appears to be collaborating with taxpayers who file tax returns using fraudulent information. Coats said that his staff had discovered the practice after looking into agency procedures.
What we learned is that ... the IRS continues to process tax returns with false W-2 information and issue refunds as if they were routine tax returns, and say that's not really our job, Coats said. We also learned the IRS ignores notifications from the Social Security Administration that a name does not match a Social Security number, and you use your own system to determine whether a number is valid.
