Don't you understand WHY Pres. Obama fired the head of the IRS a couple of days ago?
And you think it's because the IRS was "actually doing it's job"
You need to understand what happened before continuing to comment.
And I'd like to know...since when did the American people suddenly start loving the IRS and the tax man?
Strange times we are living in...so-called "Liberals" calling for MORE govt. intrusion into their lives, more govt. control of their lives, and more taxes.
You guys certainly aren't what I grew up as liberal being.
We were anti-war, pro-freedom, pro-drug legalization, pro-choice, anti-govt.
Watch some old youtube videos of young people in the 1960's and 1970's protesting against the govt.
Maybe it will inspire some of you neo-liberals to understand.

I've never said I was a liberal.. That is the catch all attempt the right wing uses as an attempt to belittle or degrade people whom don't share their same views. It would be the same as me calling every right winger a neo conservative.
I have liberal views on some subjects and I have conservative views on some subjects. I consider my self an American, not a liberal or conservative.
I just find my self more at odds with the right wing in this country because they are more worried about trying to make the other side look bad vs actually trying to fix problems or make the govt work. They would rather destroy this country than have the other side do well.
Both sides are shit, it's just the right smells much worse, than the left.
The right will destroy this country if they are left to do it. The Bush and Cheney tag team came very close to doing just that. The Left, while no where near perfect at least can be contained.
As far as the IRS chief, he's just the guy in charge. so if heads roll his is likely he first.. I don't think however this was any vast conspiracy as the right is trying to portray it.
I think the FBI agents added 1+1 and came up with 2. If your job is to audit all these new groups likely knowing most are political in origin, then the ones that scream out first are obviously going to make a bigger target.
Tea Party was a well known political group by that time, so it's very easy to see why groups with that name were chosen to be scrutinized.
