Why do you care when you contribute nothing to any of it? Maybe if you paid into the system, but you are a leach waiting for a paycheck, sit back and you'll get what's coming from those who produce it for your ass.

Did the IRS also lie to Congress about their activities investigating conservative groups? Yes, they did.

Should the IRS be involved in subverting the free political speech rights of Americans in order to stymy Obama's political opponents?

No, no. I've been waiting for this. Some show of an even hand. I don't believe anything. So, if the scrutiny was the same, then lets have some facts about that.

- Were these groups identified by parsing lists for "obnoxious" names?
- Were they subject to long times between communications for status of application...months roll by?
- Were they sent pages of improper questions?
- Were they then sent the same questions in different formats and wording?
- Were they actually harassed?

But, I really don't understand, yet. There were some 500 conservative groups we know of, that were targeted. But, it is like pulling teeth from mad dogs.

How many progressive groups were targeted, and how?

Well, I at least thank you for answering the question with a real answer.. instead of being a total dick and calling me stupid.

Anarchy is without government. I would think austerity would mean jack shit to an anarchist, yet you seem to be blaming an attempt to decreased centralized spending. I'm just wondering how anyone who calls themselves an anarchistic can feel a reduction in centralized state power in ANYTHING is a bad idea. Your views just seem really inconsistent to me.

I guess a simpler way to explain it is: Anarchy good, Austerity bad seems off. Would you mind explaining how the two beliefs co-exist? I'm an anarchist, but I want my central planners well funded....

I'm not claiming to be an anarchist in that statement. I was pointing out what I don't understand. How you can say this;
"I'm an anarchist who believes in well funded central planning".

Your answer never addressed the question.
