    It’s not so easy, in the age of the internet, to dismiss the criminality of the IRS and the Lord of the Ears who ordered up such intimidation.

    Hang on there, Bunkie…the investigation started over 18 months ago, under the leadership of the previous head of the I.R.S., who happened to still be the guy appointed by BUSH!

    The TEA Party talks about paying LESS taxes… notice the Verb here is “PAYING

    Where is there concern witt the “occupy” or the “Reparation for Slavery” movements that talk about never paying any taxes ever again?

    “…and falsely applying for exempt status as a “Social Welfare Organization”!”

    I’m not quite sure where the concept that 501c4 organizations could not participate in political activity came from.

    From IRS Publication 557, Tax-Exempt Status for Your Organization:
    “However, if you submit proof that your organization is organized exclusively to promote social welfare, it can obtain exemption even if it participates legally in some political activity on behalf of or in opposition to candidates for public office.”

    It is incumbent on the IRS to prove that the organization is not for social welfare, and I think that can be only be proven after the group is organized and the exemption given. Then, the exemption can be revoked. What the IRS was doing was denying exemption for political reasons.

    I digress here from the 501c4 topic for a little humor. From the same publication listed above:

    Non-exemption for terrorist organizations.
    An organization that is identified or designated as a terrorist organization within the meaning of section 501(p)(2) is not eligible to apply for recognition of exemption.

    Does the IRS really think that a terrorist organization is going to apply for a tax exemption?

    No taxes vs taxed enough. This strip is a liberal hack fail. Plus what does " Question 23 of the survey “What is in the prayers that you pray at your meeting?”

    Hey the head guy has already told us “It was just bad customer service” So I guess it was all a big misunderstanding oh shucks.

    All I see are libs WANTING higher taxes (on others of course, they are part of the 47% who pay no taxes at all).

    EXACTLY!!!

    -

    Mr. Pett is the FIRST one to get it. What the IRS did was right, because the RWNJs tried to incite a revolution and do away with government, turning the U.S. into a corporate plantation without laws and 300 million slaves…
