"More heads need to roll."
Those were the words of Florida Representative Vern Buchanan after IRS Commissioner Steve Miller announced last Wednesday evening that he is stepping-down.
If Obama thinks that one man's resignation will "fix" the IRS and its unconstitutional attacks on the First Amendment, he is wrong. We know that Miller's dismissal was simply an act of theatrics - Obama's cheap appeasement offering - because we know that Miller was planning on exiting the IRS long before this scandal ever came to the surface.
The simple fact is this: a scandal this big is not the result of one or two persons - it is the result of the collaborative efforts of many of the Internal Revenue Service's employees.
The American People want every single individual involved in the IRS' crimes against the Constitution identified and brought before Congress to testify. Each and every one of them must be forced to fully disclose how they felt safe to commit their illegal acts.
Every single member of Congress must demand answers for this. This is not a matter of party; it is a matter of government accountability.

On May 10, IRS officials "apologized" for targeting conservative, tea party, and other pro-limited government groups and organizations.
The fact that IRS agents would bully groups and with particular ideologies contrary to their own is a gross fact -- what's worse is that senior IRS officials were aware of these offenses several years ago, yet had done nothing to stop them. Put another way, senior IRS officials have been condoning the use of our taxation system as a bludgeon for the past three years!
The IRS' Lois Lerner said that "seventy-five groups" were affected by the agency's political targeting; however, the fact of the matter is that multitudes more have been affected. Some have estimated that the list of affected organizations is nearly five-hundred, but we argue that even number that is a low approximation.
The IRS' recent admission deals with a time-window of about three years, yet this kind of politically-motivated bullying is anything but new - the IRS had done this sort of thing to conservative groups twenty years ago during the Clinton Administration.
That's why this illegal "cycle" must be stopped now. Congress must deal seriously with every IRS employee's crimes and set a precedent to prevent future offenses of the same nature!

Thankfully U.S. lawmakers are starting to move in the right direction by discussing severe punishments for those involved in the IRS' Tea Party Attacks.
While House Speaker John Boehner has too often acted as The Great Compromiser, he is doing the right thing on this issue: he is talking jail time for IRS criminals.
"My question isn't about who's going to resign," Boehner said on Wednesday, "my question is who is going to jail over this scandal?"
Representative David Camp also proves the need for strong measures against the IRS. Speaking of the tax authority's "corrupted culture", Rep. Camp says, "Trimming a few branches will not solve the problem when the roots of the tree have gone rotten."
Politicians, however, are always eager to talk. Their problem is inaction. That's why we must make sure that the discussions of investigations and punishments are materialized, and soon!
We don't want cheap talk on the IRS and their criminal employees - we want action!

"This should not be dismissed as just another conflict between left and right" said Senator Mike Lee, "it is a conflict between the federal government and the American people, who - regardless of their political leanings - should be free to exercise their constitutionally protected rights without fear of political retribution from the world's most powerful tax-collection agency."
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul introduced a resolution in the wake of the IRS' admission to investigate the tax authority's egregious attacks on conservatives' free speech rights.
"The IRS has been using taxing power as a political tool to bully these conservative groups and this type of intimidation is a major violation of our U.S. Constitution," Sen. Paul said. "This act of discrimination should not be tolerated and I demand a formal investigation seeking criminal charges against any individuals who authorized or were involved in targeting people of the United States based on their political views."
Congress must investigate the Internal Revenue Service for their deplorable crimes - lawmakers must find the very individuals who authorized these free-speech-based attacks, remove them from their posts, and charge them for their criminal activity.

Barack Obama's dismissal of Commissioner Steve Miller from the IRS in not enough - hosts of individuals were involved in the IRS' attack on conservatives and their free speech. Miller, as Rep. Michele Bachmann says, is simply a "scapegoat."
House and Senate members must take action:
- Every IRS employee involved in this scandal must be identified and brought before Congress to testify;
- Every IRS employee involved must disclose why he or she felt safe to commit these terrible crimes;
- Every IRS employee involved must disclose the source of their hostile, discriminatory objectives;
- Every IRS employee involved must be charged for every one of of his or her criminal acts and be subject to suitable punishments including jail time in addition to their resignation.
One or two resignations are not enough ...

Marginalia: The discovery of the IRS' abhorrent actions should be taken as proof that the bigger the government, the more out-of-control and inappropriate its behavior becomes.
While we press the United States Congress to fully investigate the IRS and punish its criminal members, we mustn't forget to think about the bigger picture: that the root of the problem is the unmanageable size of the federal government.
The Constitution created a limited federal government, and that is what we must always fight for.
