�Since the Supreme Court�s Citizens United decision,� said Deutch, �the
number of groups applying for this tax exempt status to the IRS has more
than doubled�That�s because these so-called social welfare organizations don�t
have to disclose their donors; they can still maintain their 501(c)(4)
status even if they write huge checks and even if they write them to Super
PACs. In 2012, when a record $1.28 billion was spent by Super PACs and
outside groups to influence the election and a quarter of that money cannot
be traced to any source, the evidence shows that many of the (c)(4)s are
being established for the sole purpose of funneling anonymous cash to Super
PACs. Now, the IRS should not automatically accept all applications for tax
exempt status when groups are increasingly being established for explicit
political purposes. So as part of the investigation, part of the discussion,
we need to know whether the tax exempt status of any (c)(4), whatever its
politics, was either denied or revoked, not because of politics, but because
they�re ripping off taxpayers by gaining this tax exempt status.�

Deutch continued: �Of course the American people should be outraged that IRS
employees would scrutinize specific groups based on political affiliations
but I�m sure that my colleagues would all agree that the American people �
the hardworking taxpayers of the Nation � should also be outraged that they
are likely subsidizing tax breaks for the makers of the malicious Super PAC
ads that poisoned our airwaves during the 2012 election season.�

In fact, the Tea Party is not a �political affiliation.� The Tea Party is
not the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, the Greens or the
Libertarians. It is a name that has become so heavily aligned with the Koch
brothers that if you search Koch brothers together with the words Tea Party
in the Google search engine, you find 1.4 million links. Those links are
backed with facts, starting with this video. In the video, David Koch
appears before an annual convention of chapters of Americans for Prosperity
and states ��my brother Charles and I provided the funds to start the
Americans for Prosperity.� Later in the video, members of the state chapters
of Americans for Prosperity report to David Koch on how many Tea Party
groups they have created.

If the rank and file employees of the IRS decided to use the phrase �Tea
Party� to digitally search for illegal political fronts in the mountain of
nonprofit applications they received, they had hard facts on the ground for
their suspicions.

Hard facts and illegal would seem to indicate that indictments are
forthcoming...however the contrary has happened...acting irs head
Miller resigned and today in testimony before congress seems to have
suffered clintonesque memory lapses when being questioned.
And he seems to have no sense of curiosity about who and when things
happened under his charge.
