IGS: Internal Goon Service
Many have asked
me with surprise and disappointment in their voice, “Where was the TEA Party in the 2012 presidential
election?” First, I would like to ask
them, “Where were you?” Secondly, I
would say there were forces at work that suppressed and pushed this modern day
patriotic marvel into hiding.
My initial theory
was that the media painted TEA Party Patriots in a bad light and many were
discouraged from being actively involved because they did not want to be
associated with the negative image put forth by the press; basically crazy people with offensive signs
and unwanted opinions. The counterforce
to the TEA Party, the Occupy Wall Street folks, who were pretty scary,
abrasive, and in some instances criminal, emerged and, again, most mind-their-own-business-busy-at-work
conservatives that were seeing the political light of day for the first time,
ran back in their comfortable caves.
The IRS apologized
last week for delaying groups that applied for tax exempt status that had words
like ‘TEA Party’ or ‘patriots’ in their application. Some of the harassment began as early as 2009
when these Americans were asked to turn over email list, donor lists, political
contacts and ambitions, only to still be denied 3 years later for a typical 6
month approval process. Audits were also
triggered in the process.
My theory was
close but now it is relatively clear why the TEA Party movement was weakened
over the last three years: the IRS! Goons come to mind as they are people hired
to rough someone up for money. Miriam-Webster
dictionary defines a goon as someone who is hired to terrorize or eliminate
opponents. I think an IRS tax audit or
not approving your exemption status could certainly qualify.
I keep hearing these amazing bonuses IRS agents receive
based on their “job performance”. The
goons also take the fall for “the Boss” so as to keep him away from
prosecutable action. Do we have a
Chicago style goon squad in our government?
Will the trail lead to “the Boss”?
Will I escape an audit?
