IRS "Punishment"

The government is not supposed to use the IRS to PUNISH people who don’t agree with them, but they do. Isn’t this a violation of the law? The Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty made some disparaging comments about Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and promptly lost their “tax-free status.” Isn’t this punishing a rightwing organization for their opinions? Isn’t that verboten? I’m glad I don’t have tax-free status because that would give them a “handle” to control MY opinions. Seems to me they ought to be able to state their opinions without punishment from the IRS, which is SUPPOSED to be an agency for collecting taxes—not for PUNISHING dissenters. But then, under a scum like Obama, anything is possible. (Minutemen News)
