New IRS Program Requires Americans To Directly Pay Subsidies To Corporations, Bypassing IRS
http://www.onenationundermom.com/2011/04/11/irs-americans-must-now-pay-their-taxes-directly-to-corporations-as-promised-subsidies-bypassing-goverment/

Washington DC: The Federal Government this week announced sweeping changes to how the IRS will collect taxes and how corporations will receive free subsidies of taxpayer dollars.

The IRS has unveiled a program whereby Americans can have a “Direct Payment Plan” to pay corporations the subsidies that our elected officials have promised them rather than paying the IRS first.

McKinsey Consulting in New York was hired to conduct a 2-year study for $24.3 million and their findings highlighted one massive inefficiency: the IRS itself. Currently the IRS collects taxes from millions of Americans and then our elected leaders decide for themselves which companies should receive free tax-payer dollars for nothing in the form of subsidies.

McKinsey & Co. brilliantly determined that it would be far more efficient for the IRS to send each American taxpayer a letter telling them NOT to send their tax check to the IRS; instead, each taxpayer will receive a list naming up to 47 corporations and the amount of taxpayer subsidy you must pay them out of your own pocket as your share of their free subsidy that was promised by our elected officials.
