The IRS Scandal in the USA:
How could the government of the USA overlook the signs leading up to the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) Scandal? The IRS is an institution that should be non-partisan, however it has been proven through congressional hearings, admissions, and documentations of several kinds that something went very wrong and many specific groups applying for tax exemption status, with different ideologies than those of the current administration, have been unjustly targeted by the IRS.

Many of the applicants for this tax-exemption status are groups which have the following “conservative buzzwords” included or attached to their names; “tea party”, “9/12”, “conservative” and “patriot”.

Through the various congressional hearings and proof that has arisen, there is considerable proof that these groups have been intimidated and unjustly treated over many, many months and in some instances over many …show more content…
One such program which has created and caused a lot of debate and “chaos” is Obamacare. There has always been a lot of concern and doubt as to how and if this massive program and undertaking was going to work and how it would be run and supervised. The American population learned that the IRS would be the agency responsible and directly in charge of running and overseeing Obamacare. Even before this IRS scandal came about, having the IRS directly linked to and in charge of Obamacare was not a popular choice at all. Most were very skeptical and fearful of this entire program and how it would work, especially with the IRS at the helm. Now, with what is being uncovered, exposed, and the way in which the IRS recently behaved, the Obamacare program is certainly going to be further scrutinized and met with more resistance. It is sure to become further tainted and more unpopular than ever, not only by its original skeptics, but by new ones as well. The direct consequences of the actions and decisions taken and demonstrated by the IRS, we now know since at least 2010, are sure to become a huge, negative scar that Obamacare will have to bare. Will Obamacare survive intact? Will the IRS still be left at its helm? These are questions still left unanswered and we have yet to see what
