Tomorrow it could be you and me getting audited by IRS for saying something in public that makes Obama look bad. Remember "Joe the plumber"? Did you know that someone in government position got hold of a lot of information about him that damaged his reputation? They made public his tax return information, welfare and child support. So, if your past is not perfectly clean you better watch out.
We are closer now to Putin's Russia then Bush's America.
Let's compare latest news from both countries (yes Tea Parties are NGOs):
- Russia: UN Condemns Russia's 'Intimidating' Raids on Amnesty
- US: IRS IG Report: Targeting Conservatives Began In 2010
- Russia: Putin's first year back as President has seen 'witch hunt' against NGOs and critics - report
- US: IRS also retaliates against outspoken business leaders
- Russia: Russian election watchdog charged under new NGO law
- US: IRS requests stalled applications of conservative groups up to 13 months
Please draw your own conclusions.
