Op-Ed: Here Are 3 Big Reasons Why We Should Abolish the IRS

The Inflation Reduction Act, which was recently passed in the Senate, would drastically increase the budget and size of the IRS. Here are three reasons why the IRS should be abolished.

The IRS Has a History of Targeting Conservative Groups

One of the biggest IRS scandals in recent history took place when Tea Party conservative groups were targeted when applying for tax-exempt status under Lois Lerner while she was the IRS senior executive.

As a result, the IRS faced numerous lawsuits and ended up settling with hundreds of Tea Party organizations for $3.5 million.

While the IRS apologized for its actions, an apology cannot fix a bureaucracy that is broken with this amount of scandal and corruption.

Not only did Tea Party groups face this treatment, but House Democrats are now asking the IRS to target some conservative faith-based organizations such as the Family Research Council.

On Aug. 1, 40 Democrats sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig objecting to the FRC’s tax-exempt status.
