ACORN tax preparers (including we presume those caught on videotape helping O'Keefe and Giles to file false returns) are working with the IRS ostensibly to help those too poor to get real tax preparers. It's time to take a good look at the program and review every single of the thousands of returns filed by ACORN tax preparers.

Hell, they didn't review the tax returns of the guy who's heading the Treasury Department.

The ACORN Tax Preparation Centers can electronically file current year taxes and provide fast, direct-deposited refunds

Does this include direct deposits into New Orleans' freezers ?

Glenn Beck is right on. Focus on the corruption. We need to spread ideas how citizens who are wanting to do something can pressure investigations and prosecutions, any suggestions? How best to apply pressure?

Auditing Acorn, IF it was done...would probably open up such a BIG can of worms.....the Dems would be writhing for years! I doubt under Obomba it will happen.

Don't know how this slipped everyone's attention, but...



Is ACORN Intentionally Structured as a Criminal Enterprise?


Thanks for posting. I'm just stunned to see any Congressional Committee doing this investigation. How did the Dems fail to quash it?

You don't have to read very long to get the answer to the the question posed in the title. The second sentence of the first paragraph of the Executive Summary says it all...







Both structurally and operationally, ACORN hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate.

Clarice Feldman The federal government should review all tax returns prepared by ACORN tax preparers

The only Tax records that will be reviewed belong to the producers and journalists of the videos.

ACORN urinates on the IRS and all honest taxpayers.

Nice idea, but wouldn’t all (and I mean: nothing else) that happens be the creation of another 100,000 or so more government (IRS) jobs?

Sure, when pigs fly. obozo, geithner and the rest of the corrupt scumbag czars will NEVER let this happen. And by the way, I seem to remember an article a while back that ACORN was in the process of changing it’s name anyway so it will indeed look that ACORN has gone away when it will just be a sleight of hand in keeping with obama’s model for deception.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is the nation’s largest community organization of low- and moderate-income families, with over 450,000 members organized into more than 1,000 neighborhood chapters in 103 cities across the country.

During the last tax season, ACORN Centers connected more than 42,000 families to $46 million in refunds, including $28 million in earned-income and child tax credits. Families who took advantage of ACORN’s services saved an estimated $5.2 million in commercial tax preparation fees.

The IRS is the Federal muscle arm of the Federal government.

ACORN is the civilian muscle arm of the Federal government.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
