The Internal Revenue Service is attempting to change the
standards for tax exempt status for 501(c)(4) groups. Rather than sticking to
enforcing the will of Congress, the IRS, with the full blessing of the
political operation in the White House, wants to ensure they won't have to
harass conservative and tea party groups about their tax exempt status
applications, because those groups won't even bother to apply. They need to
hear from America .
Following its targeting of tea party and conservative groups in
the runup to the 2012 election, the IRS now wants to codify into regulatory law
the organization's illegal and tyrannical behavior. The rules are meant not
just to stifle free speech, which would be bad
enough, but to favor progressive groups over conservative and libertarian ones.
After initially calling the IRS targeting "outrageous," President Obama shifted
to calling it a "phony scandal." The White House and its allies
in Congress have worked hard in favor of the new targeting.
