Disturbing
as it is, the IRS scandal should be throwing a light on a larger issue
than the targeting of conservative groups. Lois Lerner, you see, was
head of the Exempt Organizations department
at the IRS; she was in charge of deciding which nonprofit organizations
are exempt from paying taxes.That so many Americans find nothing wrong
with giving unelected bureaucrats the power and discretion to choose who
has to pay taxes and who is exempt from doing so is disturbing.
In the real America, Lois Lerner, an attorney, would have to busy herself chasing ambulances or fixing parking tickets. That’s because in the real America, none of these nonprofit organizations would be taxed. Heck, I don’t even believe in taxing for-profit organizations. Corporations don’t pay income taxes unless they turn a profit. So what exactly is being assessed when government taxes nonprofits? It is donations; gifts.
