Christine O'Donnell: Tax Law Didn't Protect Me
A federal law intended to protect the privacy of personal tax information has become a "shield" to protect tax agency employees, says tea party favorite Christine O'Donnell, whose tax data was accessed immediately after she announced her Republican Senate candidacy in Delaware nearly three years ago.
"What was written as a well-meaning law to protect taxpayers has inexplicably transformed into a shield for the perpetrators," O'Donnell wrote in the New York Post Saturday under the headline "Christine O'Donnell: I was a victim of the IRS."
"Unless the law is changed, there will be no public accountability for those who committed this crime, no one will be brought to justice - and there will be no deterrent preventing such crimes from being committed again."
She noted how the IRS has admitted to targeting tea party, conservative, and religious groups in their applications for tax-exempt status and acknowledged how "opponents of President Obama have been subjected to audits soon after criticizing the administration."
In fact, former Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz and other conservatives have charged to Newsmax TV that last month's indictment of Obama critic and best-selling author Dinesh D'Souza on campaign-finance charges "smacks of selective prosecution."
"What we all have in common," O'Donnell said. "No answers."Also read:
