                   IRS: LAWS FOR THEE, BUT NOT FOR ME

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, every year, millions of Americans 
across the fruited plains send their tax returns to the IRS. Some claim 
exemptions so they can keep more of their money; now the IRS wants an 
exemption of its own.
  IRS employees want an exemption from participating in--guess what--
ObamaCare. That's right. The IRS workers have asked for an exemption 
from ObamaCare. They like their current health plan, and they just want 
to keep it.
  These are the same people in charge of enforcing ObamaCare and 
penalizing Americans that are forced to be under ObamaCare. This is the 
same abusive, scandalous IRS that uses power to punish political 
opponents.
  The IRS taxocrats don't want the law to apply to them; they want it 
to apply to us. More arrogance of power. Their policy is: laws for 
thee, but not for me. Ironic, don't you think?
  The real truth, to be clear, Mr. Speaker, is the IRS wants to be 
exempted from ObamaCare and so do Americans.
  And that's just the way it is.
