Obama Appointed IRS Union President to Group in Charge of Federal Raises in 2010
The week after Republicans’ historic 2010 midterm election landslide, President Barack Obama appointed the union president that represents “tens of thousands in the IRS,” Colleen Kelley, to a key Administration post. Two years later, that union, the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), contributed $580,412 to federal candidates—94% of which were Democrats.
The position Obama appointed Kelley to: the Federal Salary Council, an advisory group charged with recommending federal employee raises.
Representing 150,000 members from 31 federal agencies and departments including the Internal Revenue Service, the NTEU bills itself as the nation’s largest independent federal union. Kelley, herself a former IRS Agent, commands her union brigade with partisan ferocity.

What a perfect vicious circle of increasing power, fear, intimidation. Not quite to the point of gulags, but I think they are closer than people realize to having the power to do that if these people arent stopped and soon.
