This is what Connally was talking about on the budget. The house has used the purse to control the IRS.

In addition, due to the inappropriate actions by the IRS in targeting groups that hold certain political beliefs, as well as its previous improper use of taxpayer funds, the bill includes the following provisions:

— A prohibition on a proposed regulation related to political activities and the tax-exempt status of 501(c)(4) organizations. The proposed regulation could jeopardize the tax-exempt status of many non-profit organizations and inhibit citizens from exercising their right to freedom of speech, simply because they may be involved in political activity.

— A prohibition on funds for bonuses or awards unless employee conduct and tax compliance is given consideration.

— A prohibition on funds for the IRS to target groups for regulatory scrutiny based on their ideological beliefs.

— A prohibition on funds for the IRS to target individuals for exercising their First Amendment rights.

— A prohibition on funding for the production of inappropriate videos and conferences.

— A prohibition on funding for the White House to order the IRS to determine the tax-exempt status of an organization.

— A requirement for extensive reporting on IRS spending.

ObamaCare –The bill also includes provisions to stop the IRS from further implementing ObamaCare, including a prohibition on any transfers of funding from the Department of Health and Human Services to the IRS for ObamaCare uses, and a prohibition on funding for the IRS to implement an individual insurance mandate on the American people.
