Good Enough For You But Not For Me

It is truly interesting to note that employees of the IRS are quite willing to enforce average citizen compliance with Obamacare but want no part of it for themselves.  Be aware it is they who had a hand in writing the law as well as the thousands of pages of regulatory requirements implementing the law.  What is it that they know and we don't.  Can't be good if the union to which most IRS employees belong is aggressively lobbying elected representatives to cut a deal that removes them from having to comply with the law they are charged with overseeing.  Why?  My guess is that what they know they truly do not like.  Consequently, all of us mere citizens should be likewise concerned.  As most everyone knows by now the law places the IRS in charge of implementing/enforcing Obamacare, increasing their already expansive powers over the populace. Its history of abuse with its taxing powers is filled with misdeeds such as targeting innocents for mistreatment and political harassment.  We should, therefore, be very wary of turning over our private medical records to an agency with repeated failures to comply with its own rules and regulations and even more noteworthy for its past failures to obey the law governing its activities.  Seems to me that the desire for IRS employees to opt out of Obamacare is much more than a wee bit hypocritical.
