http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=2023959&mesg_id=2025424The IRS is tracking political party affiliation. There is NO REASON to do this EXCEPT to use it as BIAS.
This action violates the 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Section 1.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay poll tax or other tax.
By tracking political affiliation, they are threatening those whose party is NOT IN POWER. The IRS is part of the Republican Controlled Administration.
Just tracking this information is THREATENING to the minority party, abridging their right to vote.
