Letter: Water Cooler answers on IRS scandal were interesting

We found the responses to last week’s “Around the Water Cooler” question to be very interesting. They seemed to go with the political leaning each respondent has exhibited judging from past commentaries. Ruth Erickson provided the best response and Richard Herrera really has no clue! Mr. Herrera, it is not the responsibility of the IRS to specifically target groups or individuals; they are there to work impartially for all Americans as governed by our tax laws. In this case they chose to target conservative groups who were not in line with the current administration, and hence are the ones responsible for making this a hot political issue. What they did was wrong!
