Contact your congressmen and let them know you elected them to represent you, not find fault and place blame with the other party.  Each Senator and House of Representative were elected to represent the people in their district, City and State by working to make laws that will protect and better serve their constituents, not waste time arguing over party lines or obstructing progress by delaying legislation and repeatedly finding fault with the other party.

If there ever was a time to get rid of Senators and House of Representatives and make way for new blood and a new America, one that works, this is it!  No more Democrats, no more Republics, no more Independents, just non-party congressmen and congresswomen!

Your "Taxpayer's Rights" mean almost nothing when it comes to protecting you from unprofessional, courteous and fair treatment.

"Innocent until proven guilty" does not apply to taxpayers when being audited by the IRS.

Taxpayers must prove their innocents.  This means you must prove your documentation even if the IRS can't disapprove the documentation.

When you receive a 30 day tax notice from the IRS, you actually have less than 20 days to respond.

If your IRS tax statutes are going to expire, no matter what the reason, the IRS will either force you to sign an extension (form IRS 872) allowing them up to another 3 years to look over your tax returns or disallow many, if not most or all, of your deductions and take away your right to a written appeal (30 day notice.)

If you are audited by the IRS (tax audit), the IRS has the right to subpoena your bank deposits, which show all your deposits, from each bank account and credit union you have, however the IRS will not subpoena your checks even if the checks show proof of your valid deductions.   Copies of the checks are the taxpayer's burden even though you have little or no chance of forcing your bank or credit union to send you copies of your checks.

Issue:  TV, Radio and now Internet Ads are driving their  viewers and listeners away, and driving me crazy!

Comment:  You can't watch TV news, History Channel or most popular websites without noticing nearly 50% of their air time is spent on ads, not just a few ads, but lots of ads with a little bit of content than back to more ads!  I find my self surfing channels and seldom watching the entirety of anything including those that I really like, and of course now that the TV networks are "Going Internet" almost every web site makes you watch an ad before you can view any of it's videos.  All I can say is I hate it and despise the nearsightedness of the networks!

From what I can see; this is typical big business watching its bottom line without regard to its current viewers, which are the very same people that the networks are trying to attract!

Suggestion:  If the TV network content is so good, why not offer less ads and more content and raise the price of each ad spot while keeping your existing viewers and adding new ones?  After all, without views actually buying your advertiser's products and services, your advertisers will eventually either smarten up or run out of money and by that time, you won't have any customer base/viewers to rebuild!
