The Tea Party's "political beliefs" literally include "not paying taxes".
I really have trouble finding this scandalous, prima facie. The conservative nature of these groups was purely incidental, it seems to me -- have I missed something?
- LordKano 11y agoThe Tea Party's "political beliefs" literally include "not paying taxes". [citation needed] The TEA stands for Taxed Enough Already(backronym). They're not opposed to paying any taxes, they're opposed to paying more. More than this, the IRS has been used as a weapon for much longer. Under the Clinton Administration, the IRS was used to harass WND and Joseph Farah.
- function_seven 11y ago> The Tea Party's "political beliefs" literally include "not paying taxes". No. Their stance is to reduce and or eliminate taxes; it is not to avoid paying taxes owed. Whether you (or the IRS) agree with that political stance is entirely irrelevant to these groups' taxable status.
