How much are these hearings costing?Last week I heard that Daryl Issa called 16 witnesses that all said the same thing..Obama was not involved. How many more witnesses do you need?
Why are any political organizations allowed favorable tax status?-And, why doesn’t Issa, or Gowdy, read the actual law and insist that the IRS un-‘interpret’ what it says?
My favorite news item on the IRS was when they said they lost some receipts for one of their conferences. I’ve thought for decades, they need more and better oversight; it’s amazing they went so long without enough.
Income taxes may have come later, but the Constitution says "levy taxes’, unspecific. Besides, we now know Issa directed the inquiry to mine ONLY righty groups, yet he is unwilling to admit progressive groups were also targeted. Thanks to Citizens United, any hare brain can attempt to get 501C4 status, but most can’t comprehend what the law allows as far as political dealings!

“If it OK for the military sex abuse cases it’s OK for the IRS.”
Except that the IRS isn’t raping conservatives. They’re doing that to each other.

Called up the Breitbart video on “Gowdy explodes”,, hmm, reminded me of the old adage, if his brain was dynamite, he couldn’t blow his nose.

Golly those “socialists” like Hamilton and Jefferson et al, giving the Congress the ability to levee taxes in the main body of the Constitution.
