IRS won't require NRA, other groups to disclose donors to tax officials

[Millhouse]

This has been required for about 50 years now, during Republicans and Democrats tenures in offices. Yet now it's a Republican backed thing all of a sudden. Something doesn't seem right about this, because I don't think anyone cared about disclosures of donors in decades past.

But what I dont like is something of this nature is decided by a bureaucrat chief and not Congress.

Ive been trying to find exactly when & how this started, but closest I can find was that Congress told the IRS to collect donor information for non-profit groups 'about 50 years ago'.
