1. And how much are they going to spend enforcing it?
Plus how much more is it going to cost the federal government to train new workers when old ones are fired?
Since when are you goons concerned about the feds spending money?

You would think so but being that stupid turns off the pain receptors in the brains too.

You need more then a brain stem to feel that much pain.

The DUmmies think that those owing taxes are union members, and since they are paid from tax money, then paying taxes is just paying themselves. They really are trying to save money by cutting out the middle man. /DUmode

I dunno, there are probably a lot of idiots in civil service, like any other walk of life, who didn't file tax returns, but unless they all claimed 14 or 15 dependents, it's hard to see how the IRS is really gonna squeeze that much juice out of them after all the actual withholding taxes that were collected from their pay get taken into account.
