Obama, IG Report refuse to touch powerful Treasury Employees Union headed by ex-IRS agent.
“My question is who is going to jail?” — House Speaker John Boehner on the IRS Scandal
The President couldn’t even bring himself to breathe a word of the truth.
He could fire some hapless Acting Commissioner, but last night Mr. Obama never came close to discussing that which must never be discussed.
The IRS?
It’s about a union: the National Treasury Employees Union. The NTEU. A left-wing union representing 150,000 employees in 31 separate government agencies, including the IRS. A union that not only endorsed President Obama for election and re-election, but a union whose current president, Colleen Kelly, was a 14-year IRS agent and now is both union president and Obama administration appointee (of which more in a moment).
It’s about 94% of NTEU union contributions going to Democrats in the Senate and House in 2012 — candidates who campaigned as vociferous opponents of the Tea Party.
And the recently released report from the Treasury Inspector General? You will not find a single reference to the NTEU. Whose members are both player and referee in the exploding controversy over the IRS targeting of conservative groups.
Which raises the obvious question: how many NTEU members were involved in the writing of the Inspector General’s report?
Even more to the point, what contact — what coordination — has the Obama White House had with their allies in the NTEU leadership as both the White House and the NTEU race to get on top of a scandal that is rapidly engulfing both?

There is no question that the IRS needs to be abolished!
Why don’t we work together to make that happen?
So far not a single person identified or referred to directly or direction in this particular scandal was eligible for full union membership!
There's a federal law covering that question.
Not to protect NTEU from criticism, but they're not in this. This is MANAGEMENT ~
The 16th amendment established an antiquated 19th century tax idea as part of our fundamental law. Today we know that it is just another failed government program.
All these bogus “apologies” and fake “firings” are starting to plug up my toilet. I WANT TO SEE SOME PERP WALKS! Crimes have been committed here. You can’t use a government agency subsidized by the US taxpayers as a weapon against them.
Amen. It's time for a sea change in how this nation raises internal revenue. It's time to stop taxing production, and start taxing consumption. It's the only way to ensure that everyone pays a fair share to support the essential functions of government.
Abolish the IRS and the income tax. The agency and the tax itself have become the tools of tyranny, and it must stop.
Mu question is this: With a population of the United States pretty much split even between Republicans and democrats , how did the IRS end up with 94% of the employees union being Democrats?
Nice try, but no cigar. When an app comes in, how is it handled? Do the management handle every single app? But you tried. Someone will be so proud that you tried ... to obfuscate for the thugocracy.
No matter how revenue is raised, until We The People end the private banking power over your debt liability to the government and ultimately to those bankers who put up nothing to lend your liability out, the end collapse will not be avoided. The banking bastards have used the reset over and over when inflation gets out of hand. They are preparing to collapse the US to make the biggest reset in human hisotry, and institute their dream of one world governance/control, finally.
That is my view, also. There are very, very few public-spirited, honorable public servants. More especially since Obongo Bozo and his LIEberal hangers-on have overwhelmed the Fed.
Is Obama’s IRS rapidly becoming a SELECTIVE Domestic Terrorist Organization against the Middle Class?
They been working at it for a long, long time; hiring their “own” kind. LIEberals are a different breed that we conservatives did not (do not?) understand, and they have got the best of us.
HST, we can take the country back, but it will require a massive effort.
Take your argument up with Jeff.
FairTax abolishes the income tax and the IRS!
I agree! We need to see a lot of perp walks!
Great post, Travis! Taxman Bravo Zulu!
Could not have said it better!
Obongo Bozo’s ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION is a terrorist organization allied against all Americans!
