IRS Targeting and 2014
Wall Street Journal ^ | 1/16/2014 | Kimberley A. Strassel

"President Obama and Democrats have been at great pains to insist they knew nothing about IRS targeting of conservative 501(c)(4) nonprofits before the 2012 election. They've been at even greater pains this week to ensure that the same conservative groups are silenced in the 2014 midterms."

"It's IRS targeting all over again, only this time by administration design and with the raw political goal—as House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R., Mich.) notes—of putting "tea party groups out of business."

I’m sure the RINOs will be right on this. They want the Tea party silenced too.

According to Barry’s toadies in the “national media”, the FBI has turned Barry’s IRS loose on conservative, taxpaying Americans again by telling them that they won’t be prosecuted for breaking the law.

Of course . . . they got away with it in 2010, so they’ll try it again and see if they can get good results one more time.

SCREWEM!

Do it anyway and let the IRS sue! By the time the IRS gets around to doing anything, the election will be over!

On Thursday’s Mark Levin show he mentioned Boehner had the oppertunity to punish the IRS in the trillion dollar budget but rejected all efforts to do so.

Apparently Behner & co are ok with what the Regime are doing to the Tea Party/Conservatives.

Out of 534 members of of congress, how many are just as happy this is happening, 530? There’s Cruz, Lee, Paul, and Trey Gowdy; that’s all I can think of.

Trey Gowdy votes with Boehner and the leadership on lousy budget deals like the Ryan-Murray one last month and the one this week.

I am so sick of this corrupt bastard getting away with anything he wants, and the gutless RINOS (Yes Huck there are RINOS) doing absolutely nothing except maybe some so-called congressional hearings that go absolutely no where.
The bastard HAS TO GO while we still have a country! ! ! !

>> to ensure that the same conservative groups are silenced in the 2014 midterms.

On principle, this sucks, but there should already be enough entities in place to proceed.

My congressman who voted wrong both times was on a local talk show the other day lamenting how bad things are going in Washington and how he’s read the founding documents of the country etc. etc.

Then he said things have gotten so bad that he even considered not running for re-election this year yada yada.....

Things certainly are going bad because of congressman like him voting for higher taxes and more spending all
the time.

This was an excellent article. I hope you read the whole thing.

Btw, the IRS can make your life miserable, so miserable that perfectly innocent people under investigation have committed suicide. It may sound cool to say, oh, just go ahead, but it’s unrealistic .

The Feds should not be able to do this in the first place.

Thanks for the ping, and, yes, I did read the entire article.

AS I have stated many, many times before on this forum, there is an answer to the lawlessness we see being practiced by the IRS: ABOLISH IT!

That is right! Replace the income tax with the FairTax, and abolish the IRS!

The criminal behavior encouraged and by the Internal Revenue Code and practiced by the IRS simply has no place in a FRee society!

We the People must decide: Do we wish to be FRee, or do we wish to be slaves? We cannot be part FRee and part slave!

To find out how to help us, go to http://www.fairtax.org.

The problem is that politicians LOVE the IRS because they get all the bribes, er, campaign contributions, to carve out special laws for their co-conspirators.
