A few words about the so-called IRS scandal where the IRS
organization was found to be picking on “conservative” organizations like “Tea
Party Clubs” getting Republicans all enraged and smelling an Obama scandal or
at least a Democratic scandal.
Well it turns out that the IRS was not really targeting “right
wing” organizations for political gain but all sorts of organizations, even “liberal”
organizations; organizations that asked the IRS for “tax exempt” status.
When I first heard about this kerfuffle I though, isn’t the
IRS just making sure that all these organizations asking for tax-exempt status
are “really” allowed to be granted that status or are they just trying to avoid
paying taxes which many of these so-called social welfare organizations are
doing.
I have long been pissed off at churches and other religious
organizations that are given tax-exempt status even though they get heavily
involved in elections and other government matters even though they are not
supposed to…has any government ever revoked a church’s tax-exempt status? Even
when legally they could and should?
Same goes for these Tea Party Clubs; are they social
organizations operating for the public good or are they political organizations
pushing a political agenda?
I think IRS regulations need to be more tightly enforced if
Obama wants the government to collect more taxes. Quit raising taxes and start
collecting taxes from people that legally should be paying taxes!
