Wait until they start trying to freeze and close accounts of people that criticize or disagree with them.
They are already doing this I suppose if you consider the targeting IRS audits on the Tea Party, or the account freezes if you choose to do business with a country they disagree with politically.

This is all very disturbing. The abuse of power grows every day. They choose gambling and porn stars to attack because they are not sympathetic figures to most people. Wait until they start trying to freeze and close accounts of people that criticize or disagree with them.

That's the whole point of government. It's not an accident.
Bitcoin will be their undoing.

"the DOJ and its allies are going after legal but subjectively undesirable business ventures by pressuring banks to terminate their bank accounts or refuse their business. The very premise is clearly chilling—the DOJ is coercing private businesses in an attempt to centrally engineer the American marketplace based on it's own politically biased moral judgements. Targeted business categories so far have included payday lenders, ammunition sales, dating services, purveyors of drug paraphernalia, and online gambling sites."
These Legal businesses are being shutout of the global marketplace and forced to find alternative means of accepting payments due to capricious and arbitrary "moral" judgements. They aren't even doing so with the will of the people through a referendum or legislation but rooting out the small behaviors while leaving larger corporations untouched in the same business.
Run a large casino or state lottery.... you are fine; small online casino....Shutdown that competition!
Large bank giving out loans.... fine; small payday loans startup wanting to offer better deals than established payday sharks .... nope!
Large porn Company...fine; Porn actress with personal website...Account shutdown!
ect.....
This is why Bitcoin must remain free and regulated only by the code and mathematics.
