Abuse of Power??

Just read an article in the Washinton Post Sunday Business section about how the IRS tried to seize property over a disputed unpaid $0.48. Even worse the IRS improperly assessed $440 in penalties on that $0.48 and was going to enforce it through seizing assetts. The person accused was an attorney, went to court, and won. I feel sorry for the guy, and makes me angry about the abuses I hear at the IRS.
