Is the US turning into a third world banana republic?

The Department of Justice raided the Gibson Guitar Company enforcing a little know rule that forbids the import of plant material that were obtained in a manner other than legal. Now the Company has to prove that the wood was obtained legally and the US will not accept a document from the country of origin or from a independent third party. Like many laws it lacks specificity. The CEO of Gibson has asked if he violated the law and if he did in fact violate the law and has received no reply for the DOJ. The investigator told NPR that the Gibson Co was looking for illegal supplies of wood in Madagascar. After the show was aired the investigator wrote to NPR to say that she had miss spoken and should have said Legal and not illegal. When asked the DOJ and the AG would not say why or what lead them to raid Gibson Guitar. Now the CEO of Gibson is an outspoken Republican and supports the Republican party. The company is a non Union business. The company has documentation showing the wood is legal but the Environmental Investigation Agency doesn't consider it verified. http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2011/08/31/140090116/why-gibson-guitar-was-raided-by-the-justice-department Add to this that the National Labor Relations Board is suing Boeing Co for wanting to expand their facilities in South Carolina and create a thousand or more new jobs. South Carolina is a right to work state and the NRLB wants to require that the new plant be a Union Plant without the workers voting on it. My question is the US becoming a third world country where the leader can arrest his opponents on trumped up charges and force others to do business with their supporters? Is this the type of activity we want our government involved in?
