........."The unspoken 600-pound gorilla in the room is that the IRS did not go after Republican Party groups. There has been some noise made in that direction, but it is just that--noise. The real IRS vendetta was aimed at the Tea Party movement and not at the myriad GOP inside-the-beltway groups like American Crossroads or Americans for Job Security or any of the other interlocking GOP seen as front groups for corporate America.
As I stated elsewhere recently, The Republican Establishment is pea green with envy but also embarrassment "that the IRS did not think them worthy of harassing, or even worse, on the same side as the IRS. In other words, the IRS saw the GOP as too feckless to worry about. Either explanation is not very appealing for the national Republicans.”..............
Interesting analysis. But maybe the IRS also realized that it is easier to go after and intimidate grass roots groups rather than beltway boys with expensive lawyers on retainers?
For decades, the IRS has found it is more productive to target lower and middle income people for audits because they are more likely to just write a check to have the IRS go away. People like Warren Buffet will fight these audits and take years to pay off even if proven wrong.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Not surpising at all since they could always ATTEMPT to justify this crap by invoking the "they are racists" card. We're not there yet but they don't have any other logical defense.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
