"The IRS is not accustomed to apologizing for anything," Gross said. "Maybe they were trying to avert embarrassing congressional hearings or just get out in front of any criticism that might come their way. But in Washington, these things tend to fuel things rather than abate them."

Mark Levin nailed the IRS to the wall.

Mark Levin may have prompted IRS-conservative group revelations

On page 3...Mitch McConnel calls on the WH to investigate?

WTH? Has he lost his mind?

They were asking for membership lists of groups that were applying for tax exempt status. The purpose of that would be to check the tax returns of the members to see if they were making claims based on contributions to groups that might not actually have been approved yet. Looking for tax liability that they might be able to get more taxes and penalties off of. This is White Hut krap and is illegal as hell. It’s part of Obamuzzie’s effort to squeeze tax money from every turnip in the country. The notion that someone in the White Hut didn’t suggest/approve/advocate this is the deepest kind of horsestuff.

I've said in the past the eight points of what is wrong with our income tax system based on Title 26, the Internal Revenue Code:

1. 30,000 tax lobbyists--HALF the lobbyists in Washington, DC--fighting for every scrap of a tax loophole. And you get political corruption on a huge scale over this.
2. The result is a tax code so complex that it makes James Joyce's Ulysses easy to read in comparison. Even the IRS can't figure out much of the tax code!
3. The sheer complexity means exorbitant yearly compliance costs, estimated by some economists to exceed US$430 BILLION per year (and climbing fast in each subsequent year).
4. It also encourages the outsourcing of millions of jobs, thousands of factories, and hundreds of corporate headquarters for tax avoidance reasons.
5. It results in (by some estimates) around US$15 TRILLION on American-owned liquid assets sitting in offshore financial centers and other foreign banks for tax avoidance reasons (care to explain all those "banks" in the Cayman Islands, Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, and so on?).
6. Government uses the tax code as a political instrument to favor or punish political constituencies as little as ONE taxpaying entity.
7. Because the IRS needs to know intimate details of personal and business financial records in tax return filings, there are potentially serious issues with invasion of privacy.
8. The IRS assumes you're guilty of tax evasion, and you end up having less rights than most common criminals!

#6 especially applies in this case. And when the IRS goes on the warpath against any taxpaying entity, the results can be frightening, to say the least.

As such, it's time to ditch the current income tax code and replace it with something vastly better:

I fear this IRS apology is a Br’er Rabbit ploy.

Only a few days ago Obama said to reject the notion that government can be tyrannical and now here is government tyranny!

Investigation only beginning! What a wonderful world freedom brings - even when threatened by the Obama Administration.

Next target:

Anti Obamacare groups.

They (the IRS and Federal government) have waged war on it’s citizens. It’s time we start pushing back. It’s us or them.

This scandal-in-the-making is taking a delicious turn. The IRS high muckey-muck powers-that-be are making the same mistake as the Benghazi bunch.....trying to cover their candy-arses at the git-go.

Nobody seems to have learned a thing....and, of course, the truth will out as to who ordered what, when and how.

Now that there'll be a DC official investigation of the harrassment things will get even more delicious because the "lower-level" employees will get a wonderful chance to rat out their superiors as they (the lower-caste rats), refuse to scamper under the bus of their own volition.

Bon appetit !!!

Imagine if they’d only done it to organizations with “black” or “African American” or “Liberal” or “Resistance” or “Occupy” in the name.

Atty General would be down there right down, arrests, special investigators, breathtaking updates inserted into every news cast. . .

and rightly so.

They use the words “wrong” and “inappropriate.” Haven’t they heard of “illegal?”

If I don’t file my taxes, will they send me a letter saying it was inappropriate?

What I would like to see is a “document dump” from the groups that were paid special attention. Post copies of EVERTHING — full copies, no redacting names of the IRS “investigators.”

Shine a light on the cockroaches.

An apology w/o restitution or penalty. Maybe the IRS should be forced to accept apologies like this from taxpayers.
