Hot Air<\/a> reported yesterday that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)<\/a> has lost its receipts for its $4 million gala in Anaheim three years ago. (Don’t try this at home–if you can’t produce receipts for the IRS, the deduction is not allowed.) I love irony.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

…This particular conference was held around the time they first started targeting tea partiers in the nonprofits division. While they were demanding reams of information from small groups, most of which have budgets under $25,000 a year, they were farting out millions of dollars you gave them with no serious attempt to account for how it was spent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s not the language I would have used, but it does make the point.<\/p>\n

The article states:<\/p>\n

I asked on Twitter this morning, in honor of Susan Rice\u2019s promotion<\/a> to NSA<\/a> and Victoria Nuland<\/a>\u2019s impending promotion to Assistant Secretary of State<\/a>, whether anyone \u2014 anyone \u2014 has been held accountable yet for any of the scandals on Obama<\/a>\u2019s watch. Lois Lerner and one of the Benghazi<\/a> scapegoats are on \u201cadministrative leave,\u201d a.k.a. paid vacation, but haven\u2019t been fired, thanks in part to union rules that make it difficult for the feds to can crappy employees. Steve Miller resigned as IRS commissioner, but he famously had just a few weeks left in his term when he did. Has anyone else been punished? Has Obama demanded a resignation from anyone inside the White House<\/a> itself to prove his displeasure? He won\u2019t boot Eric Holder<\/a> over the DOJ leak dragnets either, despite the fact that some Democrats (including Democrats in the White House) also think he should go. What you\u2019re seeing here, between the promotion\/retention of malfeasors and incompetents and the IRS showering itself with cash with no serious effort made at keeping track of it, is the feds\u2019 contempt for citizens who empowered them unleashed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t know how we got to runaway government, but we need to find a way to get back to government by the people very quickly.<\/p>\n
