I guess this is one way to get those abysmal unemployment figures lower....hire 5000 new IRS agents to shake-down the public.

That's more than he's willing to hire to protect our porous border with Mexico.

This is an example of "progressive think".......those cheating constituents need to be forced to turn over more of their hard earned money at the threat of imprisonment.

There's nothing more despicable than being a tax collector except possibly being an IRS lawyer. Hated throughout history, anyone with any character or principles would rather be unemployed.

This is an example of conservative blinders. A 'cheat' is not being asked to turn over 'more' of their hard earned money, merely what their normal amount would be. Or will you now tell us just how the country will run with NO taxes and only expenditures? Is VooDoo Economics alive & well in FantasyLand?

BTW: Have a reference to these 5000 new hires or just something you heard on the radio?

Is there anything more delusional than thinking we'd have things like National Defense, police, fire protection, infrastructure, etc., etc., etc. without taxes being collected?

Then give it to the illegal thugs as a sort of bribery for votes.

Barry can balance a budget the same way Meechie can balance America’s diet. I’ll bet he laughs himself to sleep every night at the stupidity of his followers.
