A report to be released this week says that senior IRS officials knew that agents were targeting tea party groups in 2011, even as they were denying that this was happening.
A report to be released this week says that senior IRS officials knew that agents were targeting tea party groups in 2011, even as they were denying that this was happening.
Increasingly it appears the Obama administration used the IRS as a tool for harassing its opponents.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

“Increasingly it appears the Obama administration used the IRS as a tool for harassing its opponents.”
He wouldn’t be the first President to do so, but it does fit his personality.
I just saw a report on Drudge that the IRS also targeted Jewish groups. Makes me wonder if they also targeted other religious groups. How can anyone be this reprehensible? (Or stupid)
First they cam for the Tea Party, then they came for the Jews. Didnt we have this conversation from 1939 to 1945?
One critical question to ask — but no doubt will be avoided — is whether the IRS under this administration has investigated a single Muslim organization in the United States.
You all realize that the IRS is to be used to enforce Obamacare.
“Obamacare: Taxpayers Must Report Personal Health ID Info to IRS
When Obamacare’s individual mandate takes effect in 2014, all Americans who file income tax returns must complete an additional IRS tax form. ”

Good question, P2.
Sounds familiar. Here in Australia there was a law passed requiring everyone to acquire private health insurance by their 31st birthday or pay an increased medicare surcharge for life. The surcharge is collected through the tax system. I dutifully acquired my private health insurance, then a few years after my 31st birthday they changed the law again: anyone earning more than “average income” has to pay the surcharge anyway. The year before last they changed the law again: anyone earning more than “below average income” has to pay the surcharge too. I expect next year the law will be that anyone above the “poverty line” will have to pay the surcharge. Boil the frog slowly.
Ayn Rand wrote (I para phrase) that at some point the government just makes anything that a citizen does illegal, then we are all criminals in the eyes of the governnment and at that point they are justified in doing “what is neccessary”. They own you know as of the passing of Obamacare. Anyone who controlls from who, where and when you get your healthcare functionally owns you. Exactly the opposite from the intent of the founders. This is the slippery slope and it is unacceptable.
Here’s a graphic on the history of politics in the IRS, pretty neat: http://www.topaccountingdegrees.org/irs/
