Congress Is Like The Romper Room.

I just read that the IRS believes that about $400 billion is lost to America because of tax evasion each year. So if you cheat on your taxes, you're contributing to this countries debt and deficit. The thing is, congress is trying  to cut the IRS budget. Now if they have less to work with, they will be less able to collect that money and if they're forced to do less investigating, it's very likely that even more money will be lost to government coffers. There's two ways to look at this news. You could say that you should pay your full share of taxes for a change or, you might decide this would be a good time to cheat. Now in the first example, you know you shouldn't have been cheating in the first place and in the second example, you shouldn't be considering cheating at a time like this when our country needs all the help it can get. My question is why would the congress want to defund the IRS in the first place? Isn't it the only source of income we have? Or at least the main source, by a long shot. I understand many in congress are unhappy with the income tax laws as they currently exist, but that's not the IRS' fault. Actually it's the congress' fault. So I guess if you're mad about the program you're watching on TV, you should shoot the TV? Congress needs to grow up. I understand being an adult is not as much fun as being a misbehaving child, and if that's what you want to be, it's okay, but then you should get out of congress. Because congress needs some adult supervision for a change. What we need in congress is a group of serious adults who have the best interest of the country in mind and even more importantly, the best interests of the people uppermost in their minds. And by that I don't mean their individual party. It would be best if they don't consider their party affiliation at all. That can only happen if these folks are actually adults. In the true spirit of the term.
