The IRS scandal is now over a month old and, while new
revelations are coming to light each day, we still don’t know how
high up the corruption goes. Did someone tell former Commissioner
Douglas Shulman to use the awesome power of the federal government
against groups that wanted to criticize it?
The simple answer is yes, but we don’t need to look for any smoking guns to figure that out. All we have to do is read our laws and listen to what the loudest voices in the media and politics have been saying for years. We have a legal and political culture that increasingly wants a regulated marketplace of political ideas — and it shouldn’t surprise anyone that this is the case.
