\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Believe it or not, there\u2019s another scandal with the IRS.\u00a0 Did you hear that they were targeting TEA party groups?\u00a0 Well, it was just discovered that they have also been harassing adoptive families:<\/p>\n

As we get word that\u00a0the IRS has harassed a number of pro-life groups, including at least one <\/em>alleged demand<\/em><\/a> that a pro-life group not picket Planned Parenthood, check out this statistic: In 2012, the IRS requested additional information from 90 percent\u00a0of returns claiming the adoption tax credit and went on to <\/em>actually audit 69 percent<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, if you don\u2019t adopt, you\u2019re chance of being audited is roughly 1%.\u00a0 If you adopt, it\u2019s 69%.<\/p>\n

Why would they target adoptive families, even though the fraud rate is 0%?<\/a><\/p>\n

Fill in your own blanks.\u00a0 Or, read one pretty good theory here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
