IRS Admits Targeting Conservative Groups Before Election

We have a say so with our vote. There is a better way, but the reps aren't interested in finding out or even in thinking about what would be a better way. And both the reps and dems are in the pocket of big pharmacy and big insurance companies. The reps solution is trust the ins cos and the hospitals and if you get sick then go bankrupt. This is just another way the wealth of our middle class is being transferred higher up. You don't know anyone who hasn't been screwed by the established health care system and insurance companies. There should be outrage but not just against our government but against the health system, it's a racket, a highly educated, wealthy and influential racket.
Remember the Romney supporter who was audited shortly after the Obama Campaign attacked him?
----
Just months after being slimed by President Barack Obamaâs re-election campaign, Mitt Romney supporter and businessman Frank VanderSloot was informed that he was going to be audited not only by the Internal Revenue Service, but by the Labor Department as well.
VanderSlootâs saga was told by columnist Kimberley Strassel in the Wall Street Journal last July.
In April 2012, VanderSloot, who served as the national co-chair of Mitt Romneyâs presidential finance committee, was one of eight Romney backers to be defamed as âwealthy individuals with less-than-reputable recordsâ in a post on the Obama campaignâs website. The post, entitled âBehind the curtain: a brief history of Romneyâs donors,â singled out VanderSloot for being a âlitigious, combative and a bitter foe of the gay rights movement.â
Two months later, the IRS informed VanderSloot he and his wife were going to be audited, Strassel reported. Two weeks after that, VanderSloot was notified by the Labor Department that it was going to âaudit workers he employs on his Idaho-based cattle ranch under the federal visa program for temporary agriculture workers,â reported Strassel.
âThe H-2A program allows tens of thousands of temporary workers in the U.S.; Mr. VanderSloot employs precisely three,â Strassel wrote. âAll are from Mexico and have worked on the VanderSloot ranchâwhich employs about 20 peopleâfor five years. Two are brothers. Mr. VanderSloot has never been audited for this, though two years ago his workersâ ranch homes were inspected. (The ranch was fined $8,400, mainly for too many âfliesâ and for âgrease build-upâ on the stove. God forbid a cattle ranch home has flies.)â
âThis letter requests an array of documents to ascertain whether Mr. VanderSlootâs âforeign workers are provided the full scope of protectionsâ under the visa program: information on the hours theyâve worked each day and their rate of pay, an explanation of their deductions, copies of contracts,â she continued.
In her column, Strassel raised the specter that the IRS targeted VanderSloot for his political activism.

So you want to replace the insurance thugs with IRS thugs? That's not much of an improvement, and one could easily argue will make matters worse. The only thing more cold and calulating than a insurance adjuster/actuary, is an IRS agent.
yeah, like fines, penalties, and worse. Insurance companies are subject to contract law. IRS is the law, and the oppression that comes with it.
Well the congress should identify the problem and solve it or improve it, that won't happen so this is what we get a political power play that both sides are damn good at playing. The problem I have with the right is they are of the opinion that dems are 100% wrong and they are 100% right when their track record and the other sides track record proves otherwise. On Sunday when Kucinich was blasting the Obama administration over Benghazi and blasting the IRS over what they did, he showed what a real representative an honest spokesman for the people would do...stand up for what's right regardless of the political party. That is something you don't see many on either side doing, and we see where his ethics got him in his presidential run.
We, as a populace, only have "say so" when the populace is informed and makes educated decisions based on information presented.
Instead, votes go to popularity contests, driven by media outlets not concerned with facts but perception, doled out to a populace of sheep who are more interested in who will win next season's "Dancing with the Stars" and what the next addition to Wendy's dollar menu will be, and whether they have enough on their EBT card to get it.
So glad the IRS got flagrantly busted.
I been telling you people forever that the IRS is the the biggest terrorist organization in the USA.
The IRS is a much bigger threat to the well being of the average USA citizen than Al-Qaeda ever dreamed of being.
Here's, basically, the answer: www.fairtax.org
