>>>You're right....not just for evading taxes. For holding specific beliefs as well. Just ask Z-Street and the news that came out today in the Wall Street Journal.

>So the IRS appears to have bungled its processing of a 501(c) application. Completely different issue, and the IRS does have to process 501(c) applications carefully to prevent everybody filing one- but also it needs to abide by the rules of the social compact, same as everybody else. The fact that the IRS can be called to task like this shows that institutions of social compact are working- as long as both applicants for the 501(c) are lawyers!


This was no bungling. That's a sophomoric Huffington-post-style technique of trying to toss in a word to change the context. I shot that down with another member here few weeks ago when the member raised a flawed and inaccurate editorial from a Pittsburgh paper that tried to pass this off as careless bungling. There are too many data points of collusion.

There's sworn testimony from multiple members of Z-Street that the IRS told them their applications required additional scrutiny because they held philosophies that differed from the current administration. The IRS legal counsel is trying desperately to stall on the full disclosure of this case until after the next election, because they know how damaging this case is.
