Can you even imagine that there are that many employees in the the IRS? That just shows the incredible insanity of the growth of government.
Via Daily Mail:
Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz told a cheering crowd of conservatives Saturday night that the next U.S. president should shutter the much-maligned Internal Revenue Service and turn the agency’s 110,000 employees loose to police the U.S.-Mexico border.
‘That’s slightly tongue-in-cheek,’ he said in Denver at the Western Conservative Summit.
‘But think about it for a second: You travel thousands of miles, you cross over and see 110,000 IRS agents? You’d turn around and go home!’
His speech before a partisan crowd of hooting and hollering Republicans was the main draw at a conference that brought an estimated 3,500 to hear pols including former VP candidate Sarah Palin, U.S. Sen. Mike Lee and rising right-winger Dr. Ben Carson.
