1. Sounds like self-serving policies, yet again

on edit:

The six I.R.S. tax lawyers, some of whom were willing to be named, all said that clear evidence of fraud was pursued vigorously by the agency, but that when audits showed the use of complicated schemes to understate the value of assets, the I.R.S. had become increasingly reluctant to pursue cases.

sounds like Enron and Abramoff type schemes of using paper companies and phantom organizations - campaign contributions
