CAN THE IRS SCANDAL BE LINKED TO THE ACTIONS OF A LEFT-WING PUBLIC EMPLOYEE’S UNION? IS THIS THE SMOKING GUN THAT IMPLICATES THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN?
My regular readers know that I am no fan of unions. Organizations inculcated with socialism/communism viewpoints, reward seniority over merit, the status quo over innovation, increased benefits without increased productivity and performance, and implement onerous work rules which divide the work of a single individual into work requiring the efforts of multiple individuals. Unions which corrupt the political landscape with coercive and extortionate tactics.
So why should we not consider that the link between President Obama, the Obama Campaign, and the exploding scandal involving the IRS targeting of conservative organizations, could be a public employees union? Specifically, the NTEU (National Treasury Employees Union) which has remained extraordinary quiet on the subject of potential IRS wrongdoing for political purposes? A union that has both endorsed President Barack Obama and has condemned TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party activists. And a union that affects all aspects of IRS operations.
Term Contract, Customer Service and Awards Bargaining - Stakes are High at Three NTEU-IRS Bargaining Tables
In three separate sets of negotiations, NTEU is bargaining with the IRS over contracts that will impact every IRS employee in one way or another. The number of issues on these negotiating tables and the potential impact on the IRS workplace is great. When finished, these new agreements will cover many of your rights, benefits and working conditions.
We have seen another union, the socialist SEIU (Service Employees International Union) and their sister organization ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) provide overwhelming support for Barack Obama. Even committing illegal activities when it came to election fraud. So why should we not look at the association between the NTEU and the Obama regime?
Further suspicion is warranted …

Bottom line …
It appears that the IRS leaked confidential taxpayer data to the media. It appears that some audit questionnaires contained grossly inappropriate requests. It appears that lower level employees were so tightly supervised that it is next to impossible to execute audits without supervisory oversight. And, we know that the IRS was less than forthcoming – perhaps even lying – in previous congressional testimony.
What better way to limit vital campaign contributions to conservative organizations, organizations that oppose Obamacare, and organizations that support Christianity and Israel, then denying or delaying their tax-exempt status that would make political contributions tax deductible. And, what better method than to use a public employee union already in the bag to the democrat party to put forth the word among their membership.
Let it not be forgotten that allowing IRS to administer Obamacare would, of necessity, require a great expansion of the IRS – more unionized employees resulting in more money and political clout for the union. A clear conflict of interest when it comes to political actions of a public employees union.
It is not beyond the realm of possibility that the command structure of the IRS was influenced by the NTEU and its leadership. Something that must be investigated. Especially since the union, a vocal advocate for Obama and against the TEA party candidates has gone silent – responding to requests for comment with “no comment.”
Time to dissolve public employee unions: a source of political corruption and outrageous pension/benefit programs threatening to bankrupt our cities, states, and federal government. Time to get rid of corrupt unions and the politicians they corrupt.
