"When Republicans take the majority, we'll be sure to provide the level of oversight necessary to hold the Obama administration accountable for any potential acts of intimidation against private citizens "

Remember that when Newt and the boys took over the House in 1994, half the Democrat members retired or didn't run for re-election. Think, euphemistically, "Post Office Scandal".

Goolsbee should be a subject of an FBI investigation right about now.Conspiringto obtain confidential corpaorate tax information is a Crime in the USA.

If it were not a crime, why should Corporations even pay taxes here? Its a good reason not to.A head office move to another country is all it takes, at a time when Obama needs every tax dollar he can find.

Obama should stay out of the tax data od US corportations and the data of individual taxpayers.Obam and his gang are nothing but a bunch of thugs running a protection racket. Eff them ALL!

The FBI should be arresting many of them....including that platypus parasite Goolsbee.

Ah, yes, Toni "No Cajones" Coelho.

Us FR oldtimers are the true nemesis of the Commies. But, then, JR was the original Breitbart, eh?

This will end up on the plate of the Republican-run house in January. The sad thing is that once this is laid out and proven...it’s actual jail time for someone. It’s a stupid act to get into trouble about, but it demonstrates the immature behavior of the team around the President.

But if the White House official was in error, doesn't that indicate that no one obtained information from Koch's tax returns? "I don't know if he got it wrong, don't know if he stretched things a bit," says Holden. "It doesn't necessarily mean that they didn't look at our income tax returns and doesn't necessarily mean that they didn't access our confidential information improperly."

True, but I took the statement by Goolsbee to be a veiled threat. Whether he knew or not is immaterial. The thugs in the WH just keep coming.

When asked specifically about whether Koch Industries pays any taxes as a C corporation, rather than an S corporation, Holden declined to say, explaining that that's some of the confidential information Koch Industries wants to keep private.

This is B/S.

We the People grant individuals the privilege of forming corporations because it is believed that limiting their personal liability encourages economic growth.
If for tax purposes the governments have created different types of corporations over the years, then We the People should know which type of corporation a business claims to be.
It is typical, irresponsible libertarian behavior to mock this fundamental principal upon which all businesses are formed for the enrichment of a couple billionaire kooks.

Exactly. My wife’s uncle is constantly asking me, “How do you remember these things?” I wish I could remember what I had for breakfast this morning or what I wore yesterday...

I hope Koch nails the Obama Administration to the wall. The former auto dealership owners should band together and go after the Administration as well. So should the salaried pensioners from GM and Delphi who got their pensions cut to virtually nothing while the union pensions for GM were fully funded. And the DemocRATs are supposed to be the party of “fair”.

Might make a good ad - “Obama’s enemys list.” It could start off with a list of all of our enemies in the world, including wahabi muslims, Iran, North Korea, illegals and drug dealers flooding our southern border ,,, The it could turn to the Obama Administration, Pelosi and Reid and go after the Car Czar for using the campaign contribution list to determine which car dealerships to shut down, and how the union pensions were made whole at the expense of the salaried pensioners, then to the bond holders of GM and Chrysler, Koch Indutries, small businesses, Americans who will see their taxes go up in 2011. Then ask, “what are your priorities come November”

The Democrat Party organization and the main stream media are one and the same.

More and more people are catching on to this.

Hopefully, we can begin urning things around this election cycle. However, there are three enities that do not want the people to take control of their government, The Democrat Party, the Establishment Republican Party, and last but not least, the main stream media.

This election cycle we are battleing three enemies:1. The Establishment Republican Party, the main stream media. 3. The Democrat Party.
