“By the way, I couldn’t care less about the NSA story compared to the IRS story.”
You are not the only person who dismisses one abuse of our freedom (NSA surveillance) in order to focus on another (IRS).
We can, and should, pay attention to both. They are both deadly threats to America.
And... they're very likely interrelated anyway. Does anyone think the IRS isn't benefitting from NSA spying?
