Censorship: IRS Passes New Rules to Attack the Tea Party It’s happening. The IRS has announced they’ll rob groups of their non-profit status if they say the wrong thing about candidates… meaning Barack Obama. This is nothing more than politically-motivated censorship, and an illegal, unconstitutional attack on the free speech of the American people. Forget “compromising” with these tyrants. It’s time to ABOLISH the IRS for good. There is no other option left that makes any sense. The IRS now serves a dual purpose: raise revenue and silence those who question the president. Instead, we should permanently silence the IRS. From Bloomberg News: The Internal Revenue Service created a new definition of political activity in its first attempt to reset the boundaries of permissible campaign involvement by tax-exempt groups. The rules defining “candidate-related political activity” being released today would prohibit social welfare groups from counting certain communications that identify a candidate and voter registration drives as satisfying their nonprofit mission. The “initial guidance” from the IRS and the Treasury Department doesn’t answer an important question: How much political activity can such groups conduct without jeopardizing their tax-exempt status? …Politically active nonprofit groups spent $336 million on federal campaigns in the 2012 election, including more than $256 million by 501(c)(4) groups led by Crossroads GPS and Americans for Prosperity, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The latter figure from the nonpartisan research group in Washington that tracks campaign giving is about three times the $92 million that it says 501(c)(4) groups spent on federal campaigns in 2010. Please note that this is one of the reasons Capitalism Institute is actually for-profit. We will not censor a single word ever published on our websites for tax purposes — we won’t be silenced by anyone for any reason. It’s a question of moral duty to defend liberty and property. Other groups, however, are in a different position. They need the non-profit status in order to raise funds. They don’t have the option of running on advertising revenue like we do — this is a massive attack on those groups that are defending liberty and the constitution. Make no mistake: this is tyranny, this is censorship, and this is unconstitutional.
