The IRS has too much leeway and selectively applying rules ends up with garbage like this going on.

I am in agreement.

What makes a church more important than a citizen?

I take freedom of religion, as freedom "from" religion as well.

Which is pretty much why I am liberal (D) leaning.

Unless Chris Christie runs... But he got kicked out the GOP good old boys club for praising Obama for his reaction to the Hurricane Sandy thing, that effected me and many others.

So how is this linked to Obama? After all, I am sure most here think him, Hillary, and Eric Holder ordered it personal.

(Edit: I seen a few articles trying to include the president in this, and it is unfair, hence my partisan venom. The IRS IS POISON. Money is non partisan.

I am one of the quacks who sees it (income tax) as unconstitutional.
