A couple of weeks back, cancer patient Bill Elliot, in a defiant appearance on Fox News, discussed the cancelation of his insurance and what he intended to do about it. He’s now being audited.Insurance agent C Steven Tucker, who quaintly insists that the whimsies of the hyper-regulatory bureaucracy do not trump your legal rights, saw the interview and reached out to Mr Elliot to help him. And he’s now being audited.As the Instapundit likes to remind us, Barack Obama has “joked” publicly about siccing the IRS on his enemies. With all this coincidence about, we should be grateful the President is not (yet) doing prison-rape gags.
What does it say about us, the American population, that this regime isn't even trying to do any cosmetics on its heavy-handed means of ruling anymore?
If it's true, what an f'n fraud! Worse than Nixon, a demagogue in Democrat's clothing. The qualification is there because you don't know who to believe these days more than any days in my personal past which span nearly 64 years. Have you seen the latest poll numbers? An AP-GfK poll conducted last month found that Americans are suspicious of each other in everyday encounters. Less than one-third expressed a lot of trust in clerks who swipe their credit cards, drivers on the road, or people they meet when traveling.

I saw that poll, too. This, perhaps more than any particular economic, foreign-policy or cultural issue, is my overarching preoccupation. We are just plain less civilized than when you and I were kids. It's unraveling. I hate to skirt hyperbole, but I can't come to any other conclusion.
