Because you have a high tax bill you don't care about alleged corruption in the irs?


Yeah, I don't see the logic there either.



My point isn't to impress anyone. My point is that I truly suspect that this specific alleged "corruption" in the IRS that's being discussed doesn't affect me or anyone on the board.

WTF am I reading here. Oh yes the "if it doesn't directly affect you" you should shut the frick up defense. This is typically used by Odrama lovers when the Bush did it too defense won't work.

No it doesn't affect you, just the right.

When the IRS was targeting conservative groups seeking tax exempt status for special scrutiny, they demanded the list of donors supporting those groups in 17 cases. Despite assurances from the agency that the lists had been destroyed, a search requested by Congress revealed that at least 3 lists had survived.

And of the donors on those lists, fully 10% of the individuals had been audited.
The rate of audits for ordinary Americans is about 1%.

WOW!!!! Reminds me of this quote about the Nazis

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

You honestly don't have an issue with a government entity using their power to attack political opponents? You really don't see a problem with that?
