The last check I had was a couple years back from a casino. It was like 12k and I went to the bank and deposited it.

* goes to show how devalued the dollar is now, or how much money the government is being told to just throw around, a combination of both things maybe

* you know how you can easily translate that spanish on your google machine, don't you?

I'm trying to remember ... Gandler, are you Canadian?

One year later, twenty heavily armed IRS agents raid Gandler's home and arrest him for not reporting the $20 on his income taxes.

No, I am American. I can try to use a phone to translate it (I don't have a working scanner at the moment.) I think I still have the letter somewhere.

Take a picture of it with your phone and save it as a PDF. There are tons of free apps that will translate it.

The Census Bureau visited my home ten times over twelve months asking to interview the non-existent tenant in a large apartment I keep vacant. They always declined my offers to show them the empty apartment.

Two weeks after they finally gave up, I received a letter from the gas company saying they would arrive on a certain date to remove the gas meter that served the apartment, and that if I refused, they would take me to court. I suspect this was related to the CB visits.

I believe if I had a tenant, the CB would have reported it, and I would have received a tax bill from the IRS, the State and the City for unpaid taxes on the rental income.

I thought you are required to house illegal immigrants for free?

the gas company must have thought you were stealing their gas. If you were doing that, it might be better to have no meter, so why take it?

never heard of the CB and IRS cooperating, but this *is* the age of weaponization of government agencies, so I too would be considering it possible if I were you

Republicans working overtime to connect Hunter and Joe would also be weaponization of government. But Republicans won't call it that.

If you can't see how it is different for politicians to go after each other in the old way, and not the new way using biased agencies that favor one party, then that's a blindfold I can't take off for you, it's glued on.
