The IRS union started in 1938.

“As a small gathering of Tea Party activists outside the Capitol chanted “shut it down,”

“You have to be from Wonderland to believe that you can make severe cuts in government spending without sending the economy into a tailspin and cutting critical services Americans depend upon. It is time to put aside ideological stances and for Congress to agree on a budget that serves the American people”

“Yet a handful of ideologues and their political supporters gathered today to ignore the obvious negative effects and continue to push for unrealistic cuts that will result in a loss of vital services for all Americans”

“House Republican leaders must not kowtow to extreme elements”

This is stuff that has to be done at the local level, then to the state. Career politicians have to placate the unions—we don’t.

Making severe cuts in government spending and power would send the economy into the stratosphere.

KaBoom!

Got a link for that statement?

Because I couldn't find it in a few quick searches.
And I am not in the mood to play with Libertarians who think all taxes and all government and all religions are inherently evil.

Here's the link to the IG report:

IRS Inspector General Report on Tax-Exempt Scrutiny of Political Organizations

This is from the report:

Figure 3: Criteria for Potential Political Cases (June 2011)

Just added to the list is the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. They voted (only 30% yes votes required to pass) to be represented because some of them may have to share office space (with offices with really thin walls) during an upcoming renovation. WHAT! What’s next? Having to actually do your job. Sad bunch of wimpy book-keepers sounds like to me.

“It’s also astonishing that the IRS is actually controlled by a liberal, Obama-loyal union, the NTEU...whose very president is, in a separate matter, an Obama appointee to a committee which decides the salaries of federal employees.”

Hopefully the next Republican administration will pull a Clinton and fire everyone. And when the media goes after them, audit every last person.

I have been thinking on this matter this afternoon and think that it is extremely important that Obama and the NTEU have been outed as being linked.

The NTEU represents most Federal Agencies (not the Dept of ED) and Obama and his henchmen have co-opted the management of the U.S. government through this back door.

This has all been part of the plan. And now his plan has been discovered.

This is the new front of this war that Obama and his henchmen are waging against America. And now we see his strategy...right out in the open for all to see.

Defang the unions...and defang Obama.

Or better yet...send Obama to jail!
