Mike Kelly to IRS: Is there any limit to the scope of how far the IRS can go?

I watched the IRS Congressional hearing this morning and Rep. Mike Kelly’s turn proved to be worth waiting for.  He got to the meat of the issue, that when a normal citizen gets a call or letter from the IRS, it can be terrifying because the IRS can do “anything it wants,  to anybody it […]

Obama’s Supporters Upset at Having to Share Their Slice of Pie
