IRS denies tea party groups after long wait for decision on tax-exempt status

By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Updated: 8:39 a.m. on Monday, November 14, 2016

Nearly seven years after it applied to the IRS for nonprofit status, the Albuquerque Tea Party has finally been given a decision: Denied.

The tax agency, under orders from a federal judge, is belatedly tackling the remaining tea party cases that it delayed for years, and so far the tea party isn’t doing well. Only one of the three groups in the case was approved, and the other two, including Albuquerque, got notices of proposed denials last week.

“It is clear that we still have an IRS that is corrupt and incapable of self-correction,” said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel at the American Center for Law and Justice, which represented a number of tea party groups in a case against the tax agency.

Anyone surprised? This is what foiled vindictive partisan bureaucrats do. Paraphrasing, slightly, Daniel Webster and John Marshall, the power to tax is the power to destroy.

Not a bit surprising.
