An abusive government agency under Obama

NY Times:

Law Lets the I.R.S. Seize Accounts, No Crime Required

The government uses a law designed to help catch racketeers and terrorists to pursue run-of-the-mill business owners.
Under Obama the IRS has become a rogue agency used against political enemies and using intimidation and coercion .  When you have a President who jokes about getting the IRS to go after those who displease him it creates an atmosphere where such abuses are tolerated.  That the agency engaged in the abuse of its political enemies seems clear, but this story suggest they did it to some just because they could.  That is the sign of a lawless culture and another reason this agency needs to be serious reformed or abolished.  Under its current leadership reform seems unlikely.
