BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – House Republicans want the IRS to pay for targeting political groups and are pushing legislation that would cut the tax collecting agency’s budget by $3 billion — nearly a quarter of what it received last fiscal year. House Democrats called their decision an attempt to punish the agency for unfairly scrutinizing conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status. The democrats also said that punishing them for targeting conservative groups, infringes on the IRS’s individual employees right to suppress the growth of any organization that they personally oppose, because it clearly falls under “freedom of expression”.
