Yes, the outrages continue!-----The IRS Scandal, Day 801

TaxProf Blog: The IRS Scandal, Day 801:
Imagine having a vision for your country.
You worked hard to start an organization to promote the ideas and values that you believe can fix our nation.
IRS Logo 2When you apply for tax-exempt status, which should be a simple matter of paperwork, you face repeated delays and demands from the government that stretch the process across months and years.
Then you learn—not from the government, but from an outside source—that your private information was shared with multiple government agencies, all of whom wanted to “piece together” criminal charges against you.
Imagine being awakened in the middle of the night by a gang of police, shouting and waving their weapons at you. They turn your house inside-out, steal your laptop and phone, then order you not to tell anyone they were there.
All this happened because your political beliefs landed on the wrong side of those officials in power.
This is not a scenario from China, Russia, or Iran.
Welcome to the very real tyranny of modern America.
Think it can’t happen here? 
Just do some reading on the John Doe proceedings in Wisconsin, or the IRS targeting scandal....
