IRS Targeting The American Legion




When will it stop?

Via Daily Caller:


The Internal Revenue Service is targeting the veterans’ organization the American Legion, and a U.S. senator believes that Lois Lerner — a key figure in the IRS scandal – is to blame.

“The IRS now requires American Legion posts to maintain dates of service and character of service records for all members… The penalty for not having the required proof of eligibility is, apparently, $1,000 per day,” the American Legion stated.

The American Legion was referring to a 13-part section of Part 4, Chapter 76 of the Internal Revenue Manual pertaining to “veterans’ organizations.”

You can't really blame them, veterans are just domestic terrorists in waiting.

 

[phrodeau]

Another pack of lies, I'm sure. Besides, what sort of political tactic would it be to go after a nonpartisan veteran's group?

INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY: Rogue IRS Shamefully Targets Nation’s Veterans. “If the president wants to get angry about something, how about getting mad about the IRS leaping on the American Legion, requiring individual Legion posts to provide proof of their members’ eligibility, virtually accusing the veterans organization of being a cover for and sanctioning tax fraud? . . . ‘Unconscionable’ is an overused word in describing the abuses of power and the continual overstepping of legal and constitutional boundaries by this administration. But it certainly applies in this case. The American Legion is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit veterans organization chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919, and now has more than 2.4 million members in 14,000 posts worldwide, according to its website. It has never had to deal with such a requirement until now.” It’s like they want to keep close tabs on veterans for some reason.

It's funny how the Daily Caller has managed to keep this story from being carried by any legitimate news outlet.

This has been going on for some time, and involves the VFW and VVA as well.

With the VFW and VVA, though, you had to furnish proof of service at the outset, so they should be able to prove the required percentage of membership.

When the Legion asked me to furnish additional documentation, I asked them how they planned to safeguard it since it included service no and SSN. They had no idea; local posts generally lack secure document rooms.

You need to get out of the basement more and stopping using Soros as your legitimate source.
