New Gestapo?

"The ‘New Gestapo’? Maine Gov. Blasts Massive Expansion of IRS Agents"

Governor Paul LePage of Maine is making news for allegedly referring to the IRS as the “new Gestapo” Saturday, after blasting the president’s overhaul of our health care system.

He reportedly said:

This tax will add to the $500 billion in tax increases that are already in Obamacare. Now that Congress can use the taxation power of the federal government to compel behavior or lack thereof, what’s next? More taxes if we don’t drive Toyota Priuses or if we eat too much junk food or maybe even pea soup? This decision has made America less free. ‘We The People’ have been told there is no choice. You must buy health insurance or pay the new Gestapo – the I.R.S. Even more disheartening is that reviving the American dream just became nearly impossible to do. We are now a nation in which supports dependency rather than independence. Instead of encouraging self-reliance we are encouraging people to rely on the government. 

^ He does have a point. The Federal Government is forcing people to get health insurance and not doing much to help those that can't afford it. The IRS is poised to be the agency to police and fine those that do not have insurance. I wouldn't want to work for the IRS - people didn't like them before and now they definitely won't. I think Obama should be the one to police every American personally - it was his idea after all and if anyone is going to dislike someone for policing it should be him. ^
