Fox News<\/a> reported yesterday that a bill has passed the House of Representative<\/a> which would fire federal employees who have not paid their income taxes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

It passed by a vote of 263 to 114 and will be sent to the Senate<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article further states:<\/p>\n

Those on a plan to repay back taxes<\/a> or in negotiations with the IRS<\/a> would be exempt from the proposed change. IRS employees already can be terminated for non-payment of federal income taxes<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In April 2011, the bill was passed out of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform<\/a>, of which Chaffetz is a member.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bill would include those seeking federal contracts and grants, but exempts uniformed military personnel. In addition, federal agencies<\/a> would be required to give 60 days notice before taking personnel action.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current IRS data shows that 100,000 civilian government employees owed $1 billion in unpaid federal income taxes in 2009. Rather than raise taxes on everyone, shouldn’t we be concerned about collecting taxes already in existence from those who owe them?<\/p>\n
