IRS CLEANUP: THIS IS A START. Republican plan to eliminate IRS union, as it elects new leadership, could threaten federal unions generally. “It is virtually impossible for the IRS to maintain the reality, much less the appearance, of neutrality and fairness to all taxpayers, when a substantial number of IRS employees are members of the highly partisan and left-leaning National Treasury Employees Union.”

Government employees shouldn’t be unionized. And that goes double for the IRS, with its powers and with its sleazy record.
