Tone deaf at best. But the mockery and drubbing were right on key. Your “customers” ain’t buyin’ what you’re sellin’, Mr. Miller.
You know who else has horrible customer service? Muggers

Miller: "we provided horrible customer service." That's like saying the Titanic provided a bad lifeboat system. #IRS

Taxes = "contributions," IRS = "customer service team," tax code = "voluntary," tyranny = "reform"

Uh, "customers" have a choice of going elsewhere when they get bad service. Taxpayers don't. Higher level of accountability required.

Now that the IRS official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations during the targeting of conservatives has a cushy gig running the Obamacare unit, this is an especially scary thought:
