John Oliver defends the IRS, gets Michael Bolton to sing about it

Tax day is Wednesday, and rather than "demolish" or "destroy" everyone’s least favorite government agency, the IRS, John Oliver defended it Sunday on "Last Week Tonight."

"The fact is, blaming the IRS because you hate paying your taxes is a bit like slapping your checkout clerk because the price of eggs has gone up," he said. "It’s not her fault. She’s just trying to help you get out of the store."
