It's too bad because the hiring of more IRS to actually recoup money that rich people aren't paying would bring in billions every year. Every chart I've seen shows it, but of course Republicans don't actually want fiscal sanity, it's all culture war crap they're into.
If Obama had his way, the IRS would make the country billions every year in taxes that people aren't paying, he'd cut the Bush tax cuts on the wealthy, and he'd cut corporate subsidies. I just don't know how any rational person could be against those things, since it would make it so that the country doesn't put the weight of all the pain on the working class, who only laid down their future in order to save the banking system a couple years ago.
