Abuse of Powerlessness?

A couple weeks ago, I commented in this post that people who believe in big government invariably argue that the failures of big government are caused by it being not big enough (e.g., the stimulus failed because we should have spent more, public schools suck because we’re such skinflints, etc).

The outrageous abuses of power by the Internal Revenue Service? Right on cue, the ‘progressive’ Daily Beast tells us:

The IRS isn’t too powerful .... It’s too weak. And Obama must not let Republicans weaken it even more.

How silly of me to call it an ‘abuse of power’.
