IRS Flagged Patriot Groups Beyond Cincinnati, ReportJoe Wright However, the scope of the investigation has widened to include Washington D.C. and California after the Washington Post received documents to suggest that the same focus on conservative-based groups was being undertaken in those locations as well. The fact that the IRS was conducting what appears to be a targeted campaign against certain political groups in the heart of Washington D.C. has even wider ramifications than previously believed. Rather than a limited, one-time error in judgement, this campaign is beginning to feel systemic. The Internal Revenue Service with a budget of$13.3 billionhas proven to be one of the most dangerous U.S. government agencies. The IRS was created100 years ago, making the private Federal Reserve Bank and the government IRSfraternal twins in creating a system of indentured servitude. In fact, the IRS is increasingly being viewed as the collection division of the Fed, raking in a staggering $2.3 trillion annually. Despite that massive amount, the IRS has a distinguished record of ignoring the shenanigans of major corporations and federal employees, while focusing harshly on the average private citizen and small businesses in particular. Now, however, it is becoming more obvious that another role of the IRS is its use as a political weapon. Also highlighted by ABA Journal is the opinion of the New York Times, citing unevenscrutiny which states: In light of another disturbing revelation that the Obama administration secretly spied on the establishment outlet, Associated Press, it would appear that there is large power struggle taking place, which indicates either a furtherance of business as usual, or a more dangerous sea change in just how far government is willing to go to demonize its enemies and usurp the constitutional rights of anyone who stands in its way. Please view the video below featuring Judge Andrew Napolitano as he highlights the fact that this type of IRS targeting violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution. He points out that this is not necessarily new (among either party), but the fact that the IRS admits it is a worrisome development and action should be taken to reign in the use of the IRS as a political weapon. The question also remains: Has the full extent of theunconstitutionalactions of the IRS been uncovered? The answer is probably in the question. Lastly, we should keep in mind that this is the same organization which is being given increased power and authority to examine private healthcare records beginning in January. Clearly, the IRS is one of the most lethal organizations to our civil rights and prosperity. What is your view? What steps should we be taking to abolish this behemoth?
