B.S. Some people are more equal than others. Government workers apparently don't face fines and jail time if they refuse to pay.

Non-government employees are not fired from their job for doing so. And that is only IRS employees, not government employees in general. AND the GAO called them on it which means the whole thing will be sorted out.

This is a strange penalty for not paying a parking find. Why would they seize a house for a vehicle infraction? Seize the vehicle.

No duh. Because they face harsher penalties: criminal prosecution or property seizure.

Wrong again - the federal employees aren't threatened with jail time either.

Yeah, like they did in this case...not. You are a paragon all right...of government apologists. They should all face the exact same penalties that an ordinary citizen should face - actually, they should face harsher penalties, since they are sworn to uphold the law.
