The fundamental question raised by the IRS scandal isn’t whether Obama ordered, or even knew of, the apparent misuse of the taxing power to punish political opponents. Rather, the fundamental question asks about the wisdom of creating in the first place government agencies that can so easily abuse their power in order to play political favorites.
– Prof. Don Boudreaux, economics
Absolute power corrupts absolutely and the IRS comes as close to an absolute power in the Federal Govt as it gets when dealing with civilians.
