Following the IRS scandal targeting Tea Party
and conservative organizations for special "scrutiny," Republican
Congressman Michael Turner introduced legislation to increase penalties
against government employees who violate laws governing issuance of
tax-exempt status.
The penalties need to include compensation for the damages to these organizations, including attorney's fees for the extra legal work caused by IRS lawbreaking.
And, it is lawbreaking when government bureaucrats violate the very laws they are charged with enforcing. It is an everyday occurrence at all levels of government -- federal, state and local. Bureaucrats have become cocky. Law-flaunting bureaucrats have even said "So sue us" when I've pointed out their lawbreaking in my many dealings with them.
