Among the most offensive features of the ironically titled
“Affordable Care Act” is its designation of the Internal Revenue
Service as the main enforcer of the law’s many mandates, taxes,
penalties, and reporting requirements. It exponentially increases
the power of a group of bureaucrats notorious for repeatedly
abusing their authority. Now, highlighting the growing gulf between
the government and the governed that has become the hallmark of the
Obama era, these IRS enforcers are asking their congressional
representatives to spare them the indignity of enrolling in
Obamacare’s insurance exchanges.
The National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), whose members include most IRS employees, has launched a letter-writing campaign whose goal is to prevent Congress from passing legislation that would require all federal employees to enroll in the exchanges. And the NTEU is not only encouraging its members to write to their representatives expressing deep concern that they might be treated like mere private sector serfs, it is relieving them of the intellectual pressure of composing their own missives to Congress. Its website provides a fill-in-the-blank template with which to express their angst.
