Schumer does it again: Advocates for amnestied aliens to get EITC despite billions in fraud

A U.S. Treasury audit revealed IRS is not in compliance with federal law on the fraud-plagued Earned Income Tax Credit. (Snip: U.S. Treasury)The Senate Judiciary Committee, during consideration of  S.744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act,  took a vote on Monday, approving tax welfare payments for amnestied aliens. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) chairs the committee; he is one of the most liberal members of Congress.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) advocated for keeping the Earned Income Tax Credit as is.

Unfortunately Democrats' decision on tax welfare opens the door wider for fraud in the EITC.

Was WikiLeaks’ founder Assange an omen of IRS persecution and ‘Media-Gate’?

Wikileaks is a publisher. (Snip: Wikileaks home page)I still remember the scathing look a friend gave me when I told her Julian Assange shouldn’t be on the run from just about every law enforcement agency in the world.

I tried to explain it. I didn’t like what Assange did, especially the leaks that could endanger our troops.

What I did care about was free expression. Assange is a publisher. He publishes what is offered. Case closed.

Should conservatives apply persecutors’ tactics by using online IRS form?

Snip of IRS Form 13909. The agency encourages people to file complaints about tax exempt groups. It would be interesting to view some of the forms the agency has received. (Snip/IRS)There’s nothing new in a Facebook member posting partisan political messages. Such messages are often full of misinformation or outright lies, but until recently, the First Amendment protected freedom of expression.

Having read a great deal about the persecution of conservative groups at the hand of the Obama administration and IRS, I think it’s time to ask ourselves if we should use a handy form the Internal Revenue Service has online. That form enables a citizen to report a nonprofit group suspected of breaking rules for tax exempt status.

Schumer was eager beaver in persecution of conservative groups

Major media finally figured out the Obama administration doesn’t really qualify for sainthood just yet, and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) photo from U.S. Senatestories are popping about the White House collaborating with the president of the National Treasury Employees Union.

The American Spectator reported the union chief’s visit occurred just before the Internal Revenue Service began targeting tea party groups and other conservative organizations.

Targeting these groups, however, wasn’t just a tactic used by federal employees’ unions. Joining appointees in the persecution was Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) who proved himself an eager beaver in persecuting conservative groups.

Six reasons the Benghazi buck stops at The White House

Photo: CIA World Fact Book/U.S. GovernmentBased on reportage about the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks that left four Americans including the U.S. ambassador dead in Benghazi, it’s fairly obvious most media haven’t waded through the Accountability Review Board report.

Then-Sec. of State Hillary Clinton selected four members of the board.

It’s also obvious media haven’t read President Barack Obama’s Executive Order No. 13597.
