• 3:51
  Speaker 1: go ahead, thanks trying.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: To publicize some IRS malfeasons. Long story short. After my divorce,
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: I behind and tax and infidents of a payment plan
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: with the IRS. I checked my balance about four and
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: a half years later, and not one dollar was applied
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: to reduce my principle.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Well, how much interest? You know, that's one thing that IRS.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: They put a ton of interest on it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: But even still it should go every payment a portion
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: should go to interest.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Abortion go, I don't know. You got to pay off
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that interest first? I think how far? How how far
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: behind it.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: It was in the you know, five figures. But even
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: with that and the interest amount I should have had,
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: I should have paid the interest, you know, about a
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: year and a half or two years in so.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: When you had this problem, you get yourself a good
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: accountant or a lawyer or something to negotiate with the IRS.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I reached out to one of the tax
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: companies that advised and yeah, they actually worked with me,
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: and I've in the process of solving this. But to me,
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: I mean, any loan you paid down principle and it
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: should have clearly broken the.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Interesting It depends how depends how you negotiated. You got
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to get one of those who's that sponsor we had
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: for years that helps you with the I R s.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: They going to negotiate for you. You need one of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: those kind of companies.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I did, and they said they call this the
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: pay forever plan. The IRS keeps you on.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: They do it on purpose, so.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: I just think they're playing games. And again, the interest
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: would have been paid off in about a year and
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: a half or two years. I was paying four and
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: a half.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Well, good luck with it. We hope you straightened up.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: But I would get a better lawyer or something. One
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of my doctor Meltzer. I can't tell you what to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: do with the I R s. Uh anyway, Uh, we
• 5:42

• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a look at the jobs numbers. We're supposed to be good.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Everybody thought it'd be a great jobs part to add
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand jobs. I think it was down ninety thousand.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: It didn't look good at all. And to make matters
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: even worse, the good numbers from previous month, they just
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: revised those down. So what the hell is going on?
