Taxpayers being forced to pay salaries of IRS employees who work exclusively for the Union

The "sequester"--a tiny spending cut ordered by Obama that stopped tours of the White House and resulted in many military bases having to cut 4th of July fireworks shows--was prompted by the fact that the federal government was spending way too much.

Would you believe that a few million of this was spent to pay representatives of the IRS union to work full-time on union business?

In a response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the IRS revealed that 201 of its employees work full-time on union activities, and not a lick on government business.

Because unions are so powerful, they managed to get a provision slipped into federal law by which a federal agency is required to pay employees of the agency to do union work on the taxpayer’s time.

In effect, taxpayers are being forced to pay the salaries of union representatives.

Okay, you say, how bad could that be?

Well, the FOIA suit revealed that taxpayers are being forced to pay the salaries of over 200 such union representatives just at the IRS alone.


Sweet deal for the union, eh?

I suspect the only solution is to kill every government agency except defense.  Burn 'em down, salt the earth and start over.
