The IRS had its sights on the gun-toting Nevada assemblywoman Michele Fiore

The Nevada assemblywoman who stood proudly by Cliven Bundy during the standoff at his Nevada ranch in 2014, visited Ammon Bundy at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and ultimately helped negotiate an end to the Oregon standoff with the final four occupiers, has been in deep, deep trouble with the IRS for more than a decade:

The Internal Revenue Service lists 45 pending liens totaling more than $1 million against Fiore and her home health care companies for unpaid taxes dating back to 2003 ...

Surprise, surprise!

1. It's always someone else's fault

No need for accountability when you can place the blame where it squarely belongs, in this case her family gets thrown under the Hummer! Oh and she was too trusting of her employees (Ahem) her family!

No word on whether her IRS debt has been fully satisfied since the Las Vegas Review-Journal article. She has since claimed she's in full compliance and blaming the tax debt​, blaming the debt on her former bookkeeper, who also happens to be her ex-husband. At the time, she said she took steps to correct the problem:

As for the accountant, she identified him as her ex-husband but did not elaborate on how he contributed to her tax troubles. Asked about her own role in the problem, Fiore said she was too trusting of her employees.

But after it was brought to her attention that accounting and bookkeeping mistakes had been made, she said, she worked with the IRS to establish a payment plan. She said she also fired staff members, including her own children, and established checks and balances in her business.

Awkward xmas picture coming 2016, who will they be pointing their guns at?

5. Free Michelle Fiore!

Just kidding though they should be happy that Michelle convinced Cliven to take that ill-fated journey that lead to his arrest.

Throw the book at her because if not she'll pop up elsewhere.

6. "Health care companies" is being generous: she thinks cancer is a fucking fungus

And you can cure it with IV baking soda: http://thinkprogress.org/health/2015/02/24/3626567/nevada-assemblywoman-cancer-fungus/

Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore (R) wants to reform the rules of end-of-life medical care so that more cancer patients can simply flush out their disease using baking soda.

Fiore, who is also CEO of a healthcare company, told listeners to her weekly radio show on Saturday, that she will soon introduce a “terminally ill bill,” to allow more non-FDA-approved treatments for those diagnosed as having terminal illnesses.

As first reported by Jon Ralston, Fiore told listeners: “If you have cancer, which I believe is a fungus, and we can put a pic line into your body and we’re flushing, let’s say, salt water, sodium cardonate [sic], through that line, and flushing out the fungus… These are some procedures that are not FDA-approved in America that are very inexpensive, cost-effective.” The American Cancer Society warns that while cancer patients whose immune systems are weakened by high doses of chemotherapy can sometimes contract fungal infections, “there is no evidence that antifungal treatment causes the patients’ tumors to shrink.” Cancer Research UK dismisses the claim that sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can cure cancer as a debunked “persistent cancer myth.”

She's a quack and a snake oil saleswoman. She deserves to be in prison just for the damage she's done to the brainless saps she's "treated".
