FILE – In this March 23, 2005 file photo Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, talks to constituents during a town hall meeting in Clarinda, Iowa. During a recent town hall meeting farmers, nurses and veterans all took turns pressing Grassley on gun control, immigration, the deficit and the IRS scandal, and listening to the Republican's answers. Some applauded. Others scoffed. But all embraced the chance to put their representative to Washington on the spot, face-to-face during a staple of American civics that's growing increasingly scarce _ the town-hall style meeting.

FILE - This April 29, 1999 file photo shows Internal Revenue Service (IRS) data transcribers put data from federal income tax returns into computers at the IRS Cincinnati Service Center in Covington, Ky. For a time, the Internal Revenue Service inspired awe and admiration in Americans, not just trepidation and lame jokes about death and taxes. Everyone loved the revenue agents when they put away the Chicago underworld’s master of brutality and bribes, Al Capone, in a coup so spectacular it scared other gangsters straight. But that sentiment is of ages past. (AP Photo/David Kohl, File)
