these small-government organizations for additional 
scrutiny and delay. 
(3) The IRS sat on applications from over 75 
conservative groups for months, and in some cases, 
even years while sending them exhaustive question-

and misuse of taxpayer money runs counter to the 
core function of the IRS to collect taxes from U.S.

(5) The IRS is responsible for implementing the 
tax increases of Obamacare. 
(6) The IRS will make the final decisions of 
who is eligible for subsidies after sharing taxpayer 
information with the Department of Health and 
Human Services.

feel free to express their views, not one where Fed-
eral agencies discriminate based on political beliefs.
