Bill Introduced To Stop Government From Hiring People Who Haven't Paid Taxes

Two senators have introduced a bill to make sure federal employees pay their taxes. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) has teamed up with Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) to stop the government from hiring people who haven't paid up. The measure also would direct agencies to fire workers who are seriously delinquent. It would not apply to those who have worked out a payment plan with the IRS or who are appealing a tax bill. They cite IRS data showing more than 300,000 current and former feds owe back taxes. A similar bill failed in the House.

Wouldn't that leave us without 2/3 of the House & Senators?

It failed before , wouldn't have half the people employed in the government.

Don't get me wrong- I'm all for everyone paying their taxes, but if they don't get the job they are applying for or are fired from their current federal job, then where is the income to pay those taxes? The government should just garnish their wages since they work for government & owe the government.

It will fail because the people voting on it are the people it targets.
