The real
scandal about the IRS is that they’ve been overwhelmed with dark money groups
claiming nonprofit status since the passing of Citizens United, and
conservative groups have outspent liberal groups on political spending by 34-1,
according to a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of the IRS and FEC
records.
Open Secrets reported, “Conservative nonprofits that received tax-exempt
status since the beginning of 2010 and also filed election spending reports
with the Federal Election Commission overwhelmed liberal groups in terms of
money spent on politics, an analysis of Internal Revenue Service and FEC
records shows.”
Furthermore,
their analysis showed, “Of the 21 organizations that received rulings from the
IRS after January 1, 2010, and filed FEC reports in 2010 or 2012, 13 were
conservative. They outspent the liberal groups in that category by a factor of
nearly 34-to-1.”
