It’s about a union: the National Treasury Employees Union. The NTEU. A left-wing union representing 150,000 employees in 31 separate government agencies, including the IRS. A union that not only endorsed President Obama for election and re-election, but a union whose current president, Colleen Kelly, was a 14-year IRS agent and now is both union president and Obama administration appointee (of which more in a moment).
It’s about 94% of NTEU union contributions going to Democrats in the Senate and House in 2012 — candidates who campaigned as vociferous opponents of the Tea Party.
And the recently released report from the Treasury Inspector General? You will not find a single reference to the NTEU. Whose members are both player and referee in the exploding controversy over the IRS targeting of conservative groups. ------ Let’s first see how the IRS/NTEU game with the Tea Party and conservatives is played, shall we?
In the 2012 election cycle, the IRS union gave its money this way:
For the U.S. Senate: Total to Democrats: $156,750 Total to Republicans: $1,000
For the U.S. House: Total to Democrats: $391,062 Total to Republicans: $23,000 ------ You know what terrifies every liberal in America right now? You want to know the real reason President Obama abruptly felt the need to go on national television last night and fire the Acting Commissioner of the IRS last night as Americans were having their dinner?
The distinct possibility that the IRS and the whole confection of Big Government liberalism built around the federal taxing power is about to implode in scandal.
Big scandal. The kind of scandal that will make Watergate look like a piker.
ZitatThe tax agency has requested funding for 1,954 full-time equivalent employees for its Affordable Care Act office in 2014.
I also had no idea there is a union creating another leftist fiefdom out of the IRS. It seems like every time you turn around there's another tentacle of global statism/communism/fascism !
Again I have to mention: The IRS must be shut down. If we're going to be a free country as opposed to a fascist country, a rogue organization that has now been exposed as being completely politicized and partisan, must not be in charge of individual American's finances or health care.
America's hope is not the donkey or the elephant, but the Lamb.
He fired a guy who was was scheduled to leave office in June. Form over substance, always.

I would add the Department of Education and its spawn Common Core.
