[quote]
Gov. Paul LePage used his weekly radio address to blast President Obama's health care law and described the [b][i]Internal Revenue Service as the "new Gestapo."[/b][/i]
The IRS description was a reference to a provision in the Affordable Care Act that requires Americans not insured by their employers or Medicaid to buy health insurance or pay an annual penalty when filing their tax returns. The provision, known more broadly as the individual mandate, was the subject of a multi-state lawsuit, but was recently upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.
LePage said the court decision has [b]"made America less free."[/b]
"We the people have been told there is no choice," he said. [b]"You must buy health insurance or pay the new [u][i]Gestapo -- the IRS."[/i][/u][/b]
Maine Democratic Party Chairman Ben Grant, responding to LePage's remarks, said, "We've come to expect a bunch of nonsense from Gov. LePage, but this is a step too far. There appears now to be no limit to the extreme language he will use to misinform, degrade and insult people. Somebody needs to explain to him that he's the governor of a state, and not a talk radio host. I demand a full apology on behalf of all those who suffered at the hands of the real Gestapo."[/quote]

I knew it, I warned you guys.
The IRS camps are coming.

Inspiring? How is this inspiring. Even if you agree with it, what does it inspire?
Urhghghbwbw.
Though this article is dumb to associate the IRS with the Gestapo, I've heard of [I]real[/I] IRS horror stories involving people who had trouble paying their taxes that make the analogy somewhat accurate to a point.
IRS has been the Gestapo since the mid 20th century.

The IRS of course drags people to the center of town and fucking executes them to enforce their authority.

And don't forget how the IRS locks the towns population in the towns church, sets the church on fire, and then throws grenades through the windows.

That sounds like something Hitler would say.
Seriously though. To compare the IRS to the fucking Gestapo is just insulting.
Well, sequels usually suck compared to the original, so this sorta makes sense

You should try googling "audit horror stories". Seriously, if you want to fuck up someone's life really badly, tell the IRS that they're not paying taxes.

That's not the point. The IRS isn't a fucking legion of death squads. My fucking grandfather was in goddamn Auschwitz and this shit offends me when people downplay their brutality as if anyone can step up to the throne.
They are going to round people up, send them to camps and give them good healthcare

I don't know why they call that Joseph fellow Dr. Death. He's quite charming.

I'm aware of it and I get the message that the guy's trying to say. Doesn't make it anymore stupid.

I see where you're coming from with this, and normally I'd say you're perfectly right about this.
But this is the IRS we're talking about.

I better not get started, this channel so fucking offensive and provoking. (!)

How about committing theft on a massive scale?
[QUOTE=Noble;36679029]How about committing theft on a massive scale?[/QUOTE]Literally no one in the world is surprised that you think tax collection is theft. You know the answer to your own question, and you know what we're going to say, why bother to begin with?

I think you are referring to insurance companies.
So the Gestapo, collected taxes? Oh, wow, thanks Mr. Governor! I really have no idea what the big deal is about these Gestapo guys, if they just collected taxes.
Ahahaha, ahaha, but no seriously
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
THIS MAN HOLDS THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF AN ENTIRE STATE OF THE UNION
