" For The People and By the People"..... NOT

 Who Cares What the People Say, We are In Charge Now

The abuse of the authority of government agencies. We the people, through legislation, have allowed them to exercise.  Has now resulted in the sucking of your blood and then drinking it down. Treating the people with utter contempt. While calling what they do "customer service", a nice term when it is applied properly.  They have forgotten that we the people, are not their customers. We are their employer. A customer is one who goes willingly to be served.  Or to purchase a product or a service they themselves would want to take advantage of.  Yeah, they are servicing you. But in a way that could be defined as salacious. 
Customer Service, my foot
A customer is not one who is forced to engage in a transaction. That is called an unwilling participant. It would commonly be called extortion. The definition of a customer is: a person who purchases goods and service from another. The idea that various government agencies describe what they do, as engaging in customer service is ridiculous on it's face.  Perhaps it is the fact that some agencies use such terms "as customer service",  is part of the reason that government becomes abusive. They don't really know who they are and what their role is. The other crazy description that is used is, pubic service. As if going to work for remuneration , which is the total payment over and above their salary, should be called "public service".  Giving the impression that it is noble and that they are being totally altruistic. Who is kidding who here ?
Try not paying them.  
If they were so altruistic then why are they unionized. Why do they demand more and more each time their contracts come up.  When sequestration was instituted the complaints that came from the employees of some government agencies were heard loud and clear.  The first cry was how they would be asked to take an unpaid vacation.  I do not blame them. They have families to support and want to be able to count on a continuous pay day.  But please call it what it is,  a job. Sometimes extremely important jobs and in doing their job they have in some cases go above and beyond.  Just like any other employee in the private sector.
Don't dare complain
It makes no sense to complain to anyone, because others are just as fearful of a gestapo like agency. Their powers to destroy,  rivals that of the president, and the most powerful people in the country.
They have and use the power that they wield with the brutality of concentration camp prison guard.  Even now, the ones that question their tactics, will shrink away in time.  As they are eventually made to crap their pants . Not with a gun, not with a knife. No, it will be the threat of an audit.  Or a visit by the EPA or OSHA.  Or exposing your name to anyone and everyone that will make you their target as well.
No one is safe
There have been many a story of their beating down of many a person and groups that dare to oppose them.  They can even go after the president of the United States. All they have to do is wait till he or she are out of office. Their reach extends to foreign citizens and countries. 
Shut up or we will shut you up
When it comes down to it, no one dare oppose the power they have even if you are being unjustly.  Now one agency, the IRS, will be given more power and will use it in the same way as they have before. To suppress the American people, make them get in line and in lock step  Marching to the beat of their drum.  That they will pound with authority, beyond the scope of anything you could ever imagine.

They don't worry about spending money. They can always get more by asking. When they are told there is no more. They just step up their efforts to collect more. Just writing a letter and claiming you have not paid enough.
Pay up and sit down
If you don't come up with it. They just wear you out until you are forced to beg or borrow it. Or, they enter your business and start writing summonses. That is their way of saying pony up or else.  All these actions we now know are encouraged by giving bonuses to do so.  Hey, you want to fight it, try it pal.  That is their attitude of tell it to the judge.  Knowing that your resources in time and money are limited.  Anyone who does try,  would take on a martyrdom status.  Destroying themselves in the process. They don't care how you get it because government agencies like the GSA, and others,  have event planners to pay. Airline tickets to get. Food tasting to do. Executive suites to reserve. They have to start planning today to have a good time tomorrow.
An Octopus with many tentacles
Who are they ?  Connect the dots. After you  connect them you will find that it is not a they, but rather an it.  It is called "bureaucracy". It is an octopus that entangles you in a mass of tentacles that once they take hold, they grab on and do not let go.  Struggle as you may,  you can not get free.
The consequences of collectivist big government
Bureaucracy is the very sin that socialism brings with it.  It is the mechanism that entangles you. The purveyors of it develop a sense of arrogance that then filters down to the lowest apparatchik  It is then that the tail wags the dog. The tail being the government and the people the dog.
