Not all of the federal workers make huge salaries or have tax deductions called children. We have no deductions other than the standard for the year. We have health issues that take several thousand out of our income, but not enough to deduct. We are the working low-middle class that can't qualify for assistance. We have taxes come out of our checks but still owe the IRS every year a couple of thousand. We are already having extra 15% tax come out to pay for previous years, why, do you want to persecute us by firing us? If you fire us, or take away our clearance (then we lose our jobs because we no longer are qualified for the job), how will the government get the taxes we owe? What about the contractors that work for us? Will you pass a bill to fire them too? Put an end to this talk.
