Eric Wang: “Last month, just as financial institutions finished sending out the alphanumeric soup of IRS forms to Americans to file their tax returns, a group known as Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) sued the taxman. Ordinarily, this type of action would be a cause to rejoice. But in this case, CREW was not acting on behalf of the taxpayers, but rather to grind a failed politician’s axe with the IRS’ regulation of 501(c)(4) organizations. On this issue, the IRS is like the broken clock that’s right twice a day. CREW, on the other hand, seems always to be futilely occupying the other 86,398 seconds.”
