The implementation of ObamaCare as a tax will provide IRS agents with more power and investigative resources. That has concerned many Americans, including Maine Gov. Paul LePage.
From the Morning Sentinel:
“We the people have been told there is no choice,” he said. “You must buy health insurance or pay the new Gestapo — the IRS.”

If you are to believe #megov, the new Gestapo has it's conceptual origins in the Heritage Foundation. Scary. #mepolitics

Predictably, liberals freaked out over the reference. We’re still waiting for the outrage over a liberal blogger comparing Romney to Hitler and an Obama for America spokesman using his talking points.
Maine Gov. LePage comparing IRS to Gestapo couldve been worse. He could've compared it to…um…actually, it couldn't have been worse.

The IRS is not the Gestapo. Republicans need to tone down the rhetoric and stop making frightening comparisons. http://t.co/yXSnQBYl
