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.

Maybe if Americans paid there taxes and stopped trying to cheat on their taxes, those agents wouldn't be needed
@Lion1776 Particularly wealthy Americans who currently spend all their free time finding loopholes allowing them to pay zero income taxes so that they can play with their spaceships.

@Lion1776 Maybe if tax code didn't allow shenanigans, companies wouldn't do it!

@Budwick exactly. Even Warren Buffett admits the system is messed up .
@Budwick What a strange concept! Changing the tax codes to prevent cheating! Can we accomplish such a thing?
Bill1372 · 51-55, M
@Lion1776 Most Americans that cheat on their taxes do because they are disgusted in how their tax money is pissed away… Why should a Senator or Congressman Get a pension after one term? Or even the President for that matter. Not one President leaves office and doesn’t have money thrown at them to be a guest speaker at a college graduation. They make money hand over fist with book deals, etc….

You can change it for that reason.
You could change it to make it possible for citizens to do their taxes!
The tax code is two giant books over 2,700 pages.
But then there's so much of federal tax law is in IRS regulations, revenue rulings, and other clarifications - another maybe 9,000 pages.

It's ridiculous! No one can navigate that kind of mess.
Make it simple - a consumption tax.

@Bill1372 and Netflix deals to the tune of tens of millions .

With respect, I do not think either political party wishes to do so.

Now THAT is funny!

@CorvusBlackthorne both sides gorge themselves from the same pig trough. If there’s ONE thing both sides can agree on it’s to keep the spice flowing (threw in a dune reference there. Lol).

@AthrillatheHunt @CorvusBlackthorne
Hey you two - no conspiring on this thread.
Get this straight - here you are the enemy.
You are allowed here - because of my magnificent compassion for the mentally challenged.
Be good BOYS or you will be deleted.

Thank you.
@Budwick So says the free speech absolutist...
