A bill to terminate federal employess who don't pay their federal income taxes. Good job Rep. Chaffetz!

Quote:
The Federal Employee Tax Accountability Act, H.R. 828, is aimed at dealing with the roughly 100,000 federal workers who are usually behind on their taxes each year. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), has cited IRS data indicating that these workers owed a combined $1 billion in delinquent taxes in 2009.


That total has grown from about $600 million in 2004. Despite the increase in the amount since then, the number of federal employees who are late in their tax payments has remained steady, at about 100,000 each year.

Good bill. Would better if it included congressmen.

The US House passed this measure 263-114 (54 NV) today. Not suprisingly, a significant number of Democrats voted against it.

I don't understand why nobody is collecting this money. It's not like attaching their wages would be a huge process.
