One British policy concerns how to get late tax filers to pay up.

Why would they want to pay up? Being a tax deadbeat is a prerequisite for being in Obama’s cabinet, no?

“supporters say the team could make government and society more efficient.”

How often have we heard statements similar to this one whenever another grand scheme, with another grand cost, with all so great expectations is proposed? I’d like to give a nudge . . .

I got a five-year plan you can have cheap.

We have already seen the fruits of this program gone awry. Remember when that leftist wench Obhammud appointed to be our UN representative repeated her rehearsed speech about how great our country was at her confirmation hearings? It was reminiscent of the rehearsed speech the brainwashed Korean War veterans recited in “The Manchurian Candidate” (’63).

The wench to whom I refer is Samantha Power.

This might worry me if I thought any section of the Federal Bureaucracy had any degree of competence in performing it’s duties. It’s kind of obvious that every last Federal employee is among the most venal and incompetent human beings to ever exist on the face of the planet. So odds are this is going to blow up in their collective face. We’ll probably end up with more people not filing or cheating on their taxes.

The weak link in all this is that the general public does not have an attention span sufficient to make the gnats envious.

Critics warn there could be unintended consequences to such policies, while supporters say the team could make government and society more efficient.

Gosh, who would ever think any government elitist-thought-up program would EVER have unintended consequences, or that the blind idiots that thought up this monstrosity would ever say that it WOULDN’T make both government and society more efficient?

The saddest part is, the fools that run Congress and do the voting there will fund it, falling for it hook, line and sinker because it SOUNDS so good.

Doesn’t make a lick of sense, and after initially implemented will continue to fund the “corrections” to the program because it isn’t doing quite what Congress had been told, but that’s OK – their evil Nazi Fascist Socialist hearts were in the right place…

So in other words, the installation of Orwell’s Big Brother society is going to become more blatant.
