I don't have "my list" so I can't ping "them" and i am not "defending the IRS" - here is the link to my last post about the IRS, decide for yourself: GOP Prepares Multiple IRS-Related Criminal Charges - FR, post #32, 2014 April 09
all bs :you don't have any info on the incomes of the tea party people the IRS audited
That's exactly my point.
we all know here the IRS auditing 10% of the tea party people is too high and not a coincidence
How exactly do we already "know" this? "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble; it's what you know that just ain't so" - Mark Twain
"a check of those lists reveals that the tax agency audited 10 percent of those donors, much higher than the audit rate for average Americans"
100 percent correct, 99 percent irrelevant — unless you have the facts that show that the only donors to the TP orgs which applied for tax-exempt status were "average" and, furthermore, that they weren't trying to deduct the donations from their tax filings, which would be at least a clear "red flag" for audit, if done before these orgs got the tax exemption.
Now that the House Republicans have those lists, maybe they can ascertain from them that the donors which have been audited don't fit the "profile" of "random" criteria. This would require very careful and tedious work (and potential for invasion of privacy) and will, most likely prove very "technical" and politically fruitless. Which may be unnecessary because there is already more than enough on IRS' abuses of power and political bias and politically motivated decisions and actions, to spend more time and better efforts on connecting the dots that lead to higher echelons of Democratic elites.
you have no proof that their incomes were that high
rate of audit is .64% for up to $100,000 /year incomes.
IRS audited tea party groups at 10% almost 20 times the
rate of audit,. rate of audit was 20 times what it should be for these average Americans . very unlikely these tea party people were rich as you say or even over $100,000k per year as you say you.
plus all of these people audited were from lists the IRS demanded of the already oppressed tea party groups. yeah sure the IRS would already commit one crime denying them their tax exempt status , then harrassing them and then they become saints and don’t also audit them.bs. just them having that donor list is illegal much less auditing the members on that list as the IRS did for political reasons which is tyranny
doing a lot of spinning and covering up for Obama and the IRS aren’t you
