The choice to attack/blame 100% of the countries problems on 50% of the voting population doesn't feel justified.

- zelon88 8y agoFair enough. However why did the republican administration pick a specialist in tax evasion for the position of IRS commissioner?
- mastox 8y agoLet me roll a dice through history were one side of the political spectrum has harmed the other.
- pas 7y agoThat in itself doesn't necessarily mean ill intent. Someone who knows what to go after can be very useful, if they chose to utilize that knowledge. Also, the IRS is big, the commissioner does not decide cases, however it issues policy memos, which have a large influence on enforcement. And these are usually public and or can be FOIA-ed. So all in all, their pick is very much a political ally, and that he/she happens to be a tax specialist is just a convenient factor. (So that the man is fit to deal with IRS stuff.)
