WASHINGTON -- There's a growing concern about the competency of the IRS and its ability to oversee Obamacare. <\/p>\n
Sara Hall Ingram, the same executive that was in charge of the tax-exempt office under scrutiny for targeting conservative groups, is now responsible for enforcing dozens of new health care laws. The question is, how much trust should we put into the IRS and Ingram for safeguarding our most personal records? <\/p>\n
We don't know how much Sarah Hall Ingram knew about the targeting while serving as Commissioner of the IRS field office in Cincinnati, the same office under intense scrutiny and congressional review. Ingram now oversees the IRS' Affordable Care Act Office tasked with enforcing health care laws. Among them, deciding which business or individual gets a tax break. <\/p>\n
\"That's the sick irony,\" said Dave Swartz. <\/p>\n
Swartz is with 'Americans for Prosperity,' a grassroots group that was not targeted by the IRS. <\/p>\n
\"She can not be the person that implements our health care,\" argues Swartz. \"I don't think the public trust is there for that to happen.\" <\/p>\n
Senior White House Advisor Dan Pfeiffer defended Ingram, saying she has done nothing wrong. <\/p>\n
A new Washington Post\/ABC poll found that 56 percent of Americans believe the IRS was deliberately intrusive of Tea Party groups. <\/p>\n
\"Confidence in government has become an oxymoron. Trust in government has become an oxymoron,\" said Michael Franc of the Heritage Foundation. \"We are at a almost a historic low in terms of the level of trust the average American places in government entities.\" <\/p>\n
And with the same IRS executive now in charge of something as personal health care, Franc says it will give rise to yet another level of distrust. <\/p>\n
