Obama's Tax Audit Strategy
The Hill ^ | Tuesday, June 4, 2013 | Dick Morris

Posted on 06/04/2013 6:18:53 PM PDT by kristinn

Did the Internal Revenue Service scandal begin when the Obama administration aggressively tried to deny tax-exempt status to pro-Israeli groups that funded settlements on the West Bank in defiance of its wishes? The IRS seems to have used tax audits to try to cripple these Jewish groups.

SNIP

When the Citizens United decision came down, outraging the Obama administration, the IRS already had begun to use the agency’s power to audit and intimidate Jewish groups promoting West Bank settlements. The idea of using the same M.O. to go after tax-exempt groups that sprang up in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision likely was another fruit of the same tree.

Schulman’s meetings with White House staff may have focused on the IRS’s role in administering ObamaCare, but the chances that the audit of conservative groups was discussed cannot be ruled out, especially in view of the work of Schulman’s wife, Susan L. Anderson.

Anderson works for Public Campaign, an organization “dedicated to sweeping campaign reform that aims to dramatically reduce the role of big special interest money in American politics” and funded by groups like Health Care for America Now!

Anderson, who supported the Occupy Wall Street campaign, appears to have occupied the IRS through her husband. According to Breitbart.com, Anderson’s tweets indicate that she worked for Obama and had an obsession with cutting Karl Rove’s Crossroads group down to size.

On June 20, 2012, for example, she tweeted “Karl Rove Crossroads get money out,” and appealed to supporters to come to a demonstration to “CONFRONT Karl Rove plus American Crossroads REBUILD THE AMERICAN DREAM.”

Anderson’s activities and Schulman’s White House visits need further congressional scrutiny. Who knows where it might lead?

Obama meme is that it is only politics when it goes against lefty communist progressive beliefs... In other words he is claiming that the liberal core beliefs are now the American mainstream....

If no one calls him out on it and explains that to the American public then we will all be enslaved by his beliefs.

It looks to me as if the IRS (and probably every other agency) has become the enforcement arm of the Democrat party.
