Democrats Just Hired 87,000 More IRS Employees to Harass, Attack Americans

Democrats Just Hired 87,000 More IRS Employees to Harass, Attack Americans — Here’s a List of the Conservative Groups the Obama IRS Targeted in 2012

On March 26, 2014, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform. Koskinen told Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) during the hearing that Lois Lerner’s emails were archived and it would take a long time to retrieve them.

In June 2014 the IRS told Congress Lois Lerner’s emails were lost in a computer crash.

Lois Lerner was head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, which oversaw applications for tax-exempt status, including those from political groups. Lerner, a committed leftist, was at the center of Obama’s IRS targeting scandal.

Thousands of emails were later recovered by an Inspector General that were not previously produced for Congress.
The IRS leadership was targeting conservatives and lying about it to Congress.

The emails confirmed Lerner funneled information on conservative groups to at least one Democratic lawmaker.

Documents released in July 2016 revealed the IRS knew of Tea Party targeting since 2011.

The IRS released a list in 2016 of 426 Tea Party and conservative groups that were targeted during the Obama years.

The IRS Conservative Targeting Scandal included:

Hundreds of conservative groups were targeted
At least 5 pro-Israel groups
Constitutional groups
Groups that criticized Obama administration
At least two pro-life groups
An 83 year-old Nazi concentration camp survivor
A 180 year-old Baptist paper
A Texas voting-rights group
A Hollywood conservative group was targeted and harassed
Conservative activists and businesses
At least one conservative Hispanic group
IRS continued to target groups even after the scandal was exposed
10% of Tea Party donors were audited by the IRS
And… 100% of the 501(c)(4) Groups Audited by IRS Were Conservative

In 2017 Judicial Watch released 695 pages of documents from the IRS that contained admissions by IRS officials that the agency used “inappropriate political labels” to screen the tax-exempt applications of conservative organizations.

They were targeting conservatives. It was on purpose. And they admitted it in writing.

Even Dr. Ben Carson was caught up in the IRS targeting scandal.

When the Democrats promise that the IRS will not target the middle class or will not target conservatives — DON’T BELIEVE THEM!

Just ask the Trump supporters sitting in prison today without trial for standing outside the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The U.S. now has a military budget of $800 BILLION per year. How are we going to pay for that if we don't collect taxes.

I think billionaires should be required to do their patriotic duty and pay their taxes, not seek to evade taxes. Therefore, off-shore tax havens should be made illegal.

@badminton They take advantage of the tax laws written by crooks themselves

The IRS has never had a problem collecting taxes.
Ya know, I'm a little tired of dems complaining about companies not paying enough tax.
And, all they need to do is change the tax law!
Here ya go - you can fire everyone at the IRS and fit the entire tax code on an index card.
Make a consumption tax.
The IRS will get money from drug dealers buying a hamburger,
and money from big shots buying whatever big shots buy.
Easy-Peasy.

@Bill1372 Corporations and billionaires have subverted our political system. They have undue influence over our Congress by bribing [b]our[/b] representatives (Dems and Repubs) with campaign contributions.

The cure is REAL campaign finance reform, which would ban private campaign contributions with a system of exclusively publicly-financed elections.

@badminton LOL, taxes going to pay for political campaigns......what could possibly go wrong?

@Bill1372 Corporations and billionaires have the ear of Congress due to bribes (campaign contributions.) They have written the tax code in their favor.

@Budwick Don't you think trying to obtain all tax income from a single source might be a little risky, especially at a time when governments are trying to control inflation by suppressing consumer demand? 🤔 Individual citizens already pay their share through income tax. Why can't corporations be expected to do the same?

@SunshineGirl You really think corporations pay taxes? Amazing

@badminton The real cure is a balanced budget amendment, a radically smaller federal government and term limits .
