Senate Democrats facing tough elections this year want the Internal Revenue Service to play a more aggressive role in regulating outside groups expected to spend millions of dollars on their races.
]In the wake of the IRS targeting scandal, the Democrats are publicly prodding the agency instead of lobbying them directly. They are also careful to say the IRS should treat conservative and liberal groups equally, but they’re concerned about an impending tidal wave of attack ads funded by GOP-allied organizations. Much of the funding for those groups is secret, in contrast to the donations lawmakers collect, which must be reported publicly
One of the most powerful groups is Americans for Prosperity, funded by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch. It has already spent close to $30 million on ads attacking Democrats this election cycle.
She called the glut of political spending by self-described social welfare groups that qualify under section 501(c)(4) of the tax code “outrageous.

Getting the democrats out of office should easily qualify as social-welfare activity. God help us from progressives and it's a good start. When we're done with them the republicans need to go next.

Is it they don't like conservative opinions or they don't like groups that falsify information to get tax breaks they don't deserve.

Well then they shouldn't like themselves by that 'logic'.

So we are manufacturing 'criminals' then ?
The IRS needs to stay out of politics instead of targeting the ruling parties 'enemies'.
