Not ten minutes after IRS employees of the Austin Accounts Management center near I-35 and Ben White began protesting their office policies Tuesday afternoon, Homeland Security police began ordering them to leave....

Just like cops, the IRS workers should find REAL jobs and stop doing the dirty work of a corrupt gang of thugs.

The public should have general, unrestricted access to public/government property in order to protest (or do anything else, really), but if one has agreed not to do so as terms of employment thereon, they have a right to remove the person from the property, fire them, or somesuch. An argument could be made that the public nature of the property trumps the right of the employers to contract with their employees, but all of this misses the more important point that "government property" shouldn't exist in the first place.

Looks like it's just a labor dispute anyway.
