Ask people who support the healthcare bill if they agree with IRS being given authority to enforce it.

James Simon, 57, sued the government in February, accusing the government of intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence in obtaining and executing a search warrant, trespass, invasion of privacy and wrongful death. His lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. A similar lawsuit was filed earlier against IRS agents involved in the raid.

Court documents say Denise Simon and the couple's 10-year-old daughter were the only ones home when about 10 armed IRS agents in bulletproof vests raided the Simons' Fort Wayne home at about 7 a.m. on Nov. 6, 2007. James Simon, who maintains a secondary residence in Ukraine, was outside of the United States on business.

His lawsuit alleges that an IRS agent misstated facts and made misleading statements concerning the receipt of farm subsidies and the handling of a family trust to obtain a search warrant from a federal judge.

if Waco proves anything, it is that federal LEOs will opt for the confrontational option of raiding your property rather than politely searching it.
