Is the IRS that 'Civilian National Security Force' Obama talked about?

As cuts to the military mount, the ranks of the IRS are increasing. Could the IRS be that 'Civilian National Security Force' that Obama talked about on the 2008 campaign trail?

Maine's Governor Paul LePage seems to think it might be.

Via Maine Sunday Telegram:

Gov. Paul LePage used his weekly radio address to blast President Obama's health care law and described the Internal Revenue Service as the "new Gestapo."

"We the people have been told there is no choice," he said. "You must buy health insurance or pay the new Gestapo -- the IRS."

Many people saw that and wondered what exactly Obama meant. Regardless of where you stand, we're getting closer to finding out.
