I don't get the House GOP on the IRS (Iraq, Afghanistan, solution)

Policing Tax Evasion Could Save Billions, But Republicans Won't Fund Enforcement

The GOP keeps voting providing funding for the enforcement on tax laws, that are in place now, and after words House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) admitted on Monday that the federal government is in serious need of extra revenue. Collecting money from tax cheats alone in the last decade could pay the bill for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush tax cuts and the 2009 stimulus combined.

Instead they continue to vote down measures like funding the IRS an additional $340 million in 2012, with nearly $300 billion in estimated tax losses a year. The ROI is nearly 4 figures, compared to saving a couple million by de-funding Focus on the Family.

Why the hell would people whine about the deficit, then simply refuse to collect what is already owed?

How much of that 340 mil. will be used to hire agents to enforce Obozocare?

Because the IRS audits the poor and middle class a LOT?

And that would be over 1,000 new agents.

The man in charge of the IRS IS a tax cheat. Tax cheat Geithner should be in prison, not running hte IRS.
You don't like people taking all of hte deductions they are allowed? There is a simple solution. Eliminate the tax code and implement a flat tax with no deductions.
