The IRS is Spying on You
Be prepared for the next great transfer of wealth. Buy physical silver and storable food.

You hear it all the time. “Be careful what you put on Facebook, you never know who might be watching.”
The warning usually implies potential or current employers eyeing your moves. Of course, most people don’t think much of this, or else they don’t post anything that would get them fired. Simple as that.
But it’s possible something that won’t give an employer pause could instead tip off the IRS. This tax season, it’s time to keep an extra-special eye on your social media profile.
Recent reports have suggested the IRS might be going after people’s Twitter and Facebook accounts to collect personal information they can’t get elsewhere.
Kristen Mathews, an attorney, talked to MyFox DC about these claims:
“There are laws that regulate the government’s ability to get a hold of things like credit card transaction history. But those laws have become more permissive in the last several years, particularly after 9-11, and so some might say those laws are no longer in line with the average expectation of privacy.”
