I never said they were government workers. I said they were offshore employees working on U.S. Income Tax Returns. The manager of the group working on the returns stressed the high security of his operation and that no U.S. citizen's personal information was compromised. However, as I understood it, this is a case of our tax dollars going overseas to support a private company in India at a time when our country is experiencing high unemployment and increasing job loss. There is just seems to be something fundamentally wrong with that.
