Obama IRS hires "hundreds" for new wealth unit
Kim Dixon, Reuters
A new Internal Revenue Service unit set up to catch rich tax cheats hiding their wealth in complex business entities is rapidly taking shape with the hiring of hundreds of employees.
The IRS high wealth unit, part of a broader effort to combat international tax evasion, is focusing on “the entire web of business entities controlled by a high wealth individual,” IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman told a tax conference this week.
Another IRS official told Reuters “hundreds” of people have already been hired to staff the new unit, including some from within the agency.
“We have drawn top talent within the IRS that have expertise involving wealthy individuals as well as examination of their related entities,” said Mae Lew, an IRS special counsel.
The high-wealth unit is focusing on trusts, real estate investments, privately held companies and other business entities controlled by rich individuals.
While use of sophisticated legal structures can be legal, in other instances they “mask aggressive tax strategies,” Shulman said.

Soros would be a good place to start. They'll never touch him. He owns the government. One thing for sure, he'll leave earth with nothing.

The one the SS apparently missed….He is not the only string puller for one world government….Just do some research and find out of what ethnicity these folks are….Not suprising at all…They have as well always used the "SVUGGIES" like the one they had put in the White House…Though they call them a fake and fraud….Read the "PROTOCOLS of ZION"…
