Bill Calls for Tax-Delinquent Fed Employees to be Canned
Can we make it apply to cabinet posts and Obama-czars, too?
Wouldn't have anyone left to 'run' the country ...
Congressman Jason Chaffetz wants federal employees who don't pay their taxes to be fired. The Republican from Utah introduced a bill Wednesday and will offer it as amendment during a markup by the House oversight and Government Reform Committee.
"We have about 100,000 federal employees how are seriously delinquent and have tax debt that is just unaccepted," Chaffetz says during a video on his Web site. "If you have that kind of tax debt and you do not pay your federal taxes you should be dismissed by the federal government."
Chaffetz says the IRS fails to collect about $1 billion from federal employees each year.
