It WILL happen again. It has to, as long as there is an IRS, an income tax, and tax-exempt categories.
Government power will ALWAYS be abused eventually. It is the nature of government, because it is human nature to abuse power.
I'm sure you understood that my post was of a very cynical/sarcastic nature.
Of course, I agree with you. Our government is out of control quite literally. I now only hope that we can elect a conservative president in the future that will use this incredible power that is now the president's to destroy "our enemies". Using the IRS, DOJ, EPA to investigate, fine, charge and ruin would help the GOP too. We could label Soros a traitor and confiscate his wealth. Al Gore could go to jail. Planned parenthood would be gone. We could sell Detroit and Chicago.
After all, there is now precedence and apparently it is oky-doky with the democrats.
(fyi - there is some more sarcasm in this post as well - :o)
Positions of power will always be infested with leftwingers that will use that power to oppress their political opponents.
It’s just the nature of government, power, and leftists.
