The IRS is enough to terrorize someone and that's just one branch. Never thought I would think like this in my lifetime.

Hello Solver,
I believe this would simply add these governments to the ranks of terrorists.

Very good question! With the current amount of regulation I think we should start considering them terrorist...50 years ago. :)

I say increase. I was wondering when we start to define our government as terrorists?
