The IRS union and all public employee unions should be abolished. But this is a sloppy comparison vis a vis the Keating 5.
In Keating, the Senators were asking the regulators to look the other way. The only reason for the senators to ask the regulators to step down was to protect a booster.
But there isn’t anything unusual about politicians asking for extra scrutiny of their political opponents. And there is a big difference between Keating giving lavishly to 5 senators and then getting results from them, and the IRS union giving small amounts to many dems.
