The great David Horowitz and his colleague John Perazzo have a new pamphlet just out and you can access it for free online. Here’s Mr Horowitz’s introduction:
How the IRS abuses taxpayer dollars to advance leftwing causes
illegally and unconstitutionally
On August 7, the Democrats passed a bill that authorizes a ten-year, $80 billion hike in federal funding for the Internal Revenue Service, which will make it possible for the IRS to hire 87,000 new agents and will make it larger than the Pentagon, the State Department, FBI, and Border Patrol combined.
The IRS has already been weaponized as a national federal police
force to harass, punish and obstruct conservative and religious
organizations. Under President Obama, the IRS blocked the efforts of
hundreds of Tea Party and other conservative groups to apply for tax-exempt
status. The objective was to prevent those groups – and the millions of voters
whom they might potentially have influenced – from having a voice in our
democracy.
But this persecution of conservatives is only half the story. Over
the years, the IRS has allowed hundreds of billions of tax-payer dollars to
fund left-wing tax-exempt foundations violating its own rules, while denying
conservative foundations the same access. This has had the effect of creating a
lobby within the Democrat Party that has transformed it into a radical force
bent on “fundamentally transforming the United States of America."
The IRS violations include providing taxpayer subsidies to
Democrat election campaigns; to underwriting Black Lives Matter riots
which caused billions of dollars in property damage and led to the deaths of
scores of individuals; the Internal Revenue Code's explicit requirement that
all charitable activities should “promote the public good”; and the funding of
racist policies which violate the Civil Rights Act and the Constitution.
This booklet -- Internal Radical
Service -- documents these violations and
their destructive consequences. We publish it now as an appeal to Congress to
investigate the abuses, and restore the integrity of an organization which has
become a major threat to our democracy.
