Senators say it's time for delinquent federal workers to pay up
   
Sens. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) have teamed up to take on federal employees who don’t pay their taxes.

The senators announced on Wednesday that they have filed a bill that seeks to collect an estimated $1 billion in back taxes owed by federal employees by threatening the employees with termination if they don't pay up.

“The bill requires all federal employees to be current on their federal income taxes or be fired from their jobs. This is a common sense bill that most Americans would believe is reasonable, necessary, and likely surprised that it is not already the standard throughout the federal government,” Coburn’s office stated in a press release.

A fact sheet notes that “there are now well over 2 million federal employees, and this number is only expected to rise as the President recently proposed to increase workforce by 15,000 in 2012.”

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?

3. Fine. Senators and Congresscritters first.
   
What? No longer have a stomach for it? Fine, then STFU.

And cabinet members too.

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

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

It means that I've been spending to much time on the Island reading what the DUmmies write.

That ONE BILLION DOLLARS in PEU back taxes would pay for FIVE HOURS of Obama and Pelosi's deficit spending.

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.
