Other than the fact that Obama did no such thing, I suppose you have a point.

Such nonsense. Obama never did that. You right wingers just live in a world of made up conspiracies.

Show me some evidence Obama did that!!

You right wingers are so naive it makes me want to set my hair on fire.

And how would more or less IRS agents make a difference, if a president did want to use them politically?

The number of IRS agents would not make any difference!

You post things and never think it through!

Do you not understand the rich and Republicans don't want a strong IRS so they CAN cheat on their taxes.

They do not like social programs as they do not want to pay for them with taxes!!

People need to pay their taxes, and the government needs to prosecute those who do not.

How in hell do you think we can run a country, and defend ourselves (defense needs) if people do not pay their taxes?.

Taxes are the cost of civilization!!

And right now the IRS is so understaffed they cannot even go after the super rich tax cheats as they have too many lawyers.

You cannot even see Trump is the most dangerous president we have ever had and a real criminal and sack of shit!!

What is the matter with you?

The real danger to this country are you right wingers!!

Obama used the IRS to identify conservatives and then began using the government agencies to harass those people.

Giving the IRS too much power makes it into a handy tool for political repression.

The IRS did its job. Politically named organizations like 'tea party" wanted tax exemption and since tax exemption is limited to organizations that do public welfare, the IRS did its job. It checked to see what they were doing. Did the IRS deny even one of them tax exemption? No, not one. Does that matter? Of course not, facts never matter when you don't know what you're talking about. Did the IRS look at liberal names? Yes. Does it matter? No. Were any liberals denied tax exemption? Yes, but do facts matter? No.
