Poll:IRS More Popular With Americans Than The Tea Party

[hermit]

A surprising new Fox News poll has shown that Americans view the Tea Party less favorably than the Internal Revenue Service. This is amusing considering recent false claims from conservatives that 16,000 IRS agents are being hired to enforce the health care reform law, the most notable coming from Newt Gingrich.

So you WILL trust Fox News polls when they say what you want them to say?

I stole, errr, cut and pasted the above, from the link you provided, but it's sums it it perfectly.

49% view the IRS favorably?

And half the country doesn't pay income tax. I wonder if there is a connection here. . . .

I was wrong about Fox, it is such a liberal network.
