after the Abramoff scandals where he funneled mega-donations right into the republican coffers.
Close looks at these operations are warranted.

(5,279 posts)The Tea party is about making government too small to regulate rabid capitalism. The end game of all Tea party activities is PROFIT; always has been, always will be.

(2,049 posts)a bunch of groups that are so anti-tax? The IRS has an obligation their taxes. They have limited resources to do it with. Doesn't it makes sense to look at the people who whine that they don't want to pay any taxes, and that despite the facts, claim that they are "Taxed Enough Already"?
