On the July 5^th Your World, Neil Cavuto opened up a discussion about the IRS furloughing employees (because of the sequester) with this “fair and balanced” introduction of his Tea Party guest: “Darla Dawald has a suggestion. Forget taking the day off, take the rest of the month off. In fact, take the whole year off. Come to think of it, well, stay permanently off. Darla, methinks, and I’ve heard some of your fine speeches, young lady, you’re not a fan of the IRS. So what do you make of this excuse?” 

Dawald said,

It’s just more of their trying to appease the Republicans I think and the right and trying to make them all think that they’re doing the right thing by taking days off. But like you said, as far as I’m concerned, they need to just let go of them altogether, just abolish them, turn out the lights, lock the door, and send all those people off to another job or another place and I don’t know maybe they can make some training videos for someone else that cost a few billion dollars.

Dawald, whose group boasts about its patriotism, didn’t say a word about how the government should raise revenue if the IRS is abolished. Nor did Cavuto ask how she thinks little things like roads, the military, FEMA, or that border security conservatives love so much should be funded – or whether she thinks everything should be privatized.

Also, during the interview, a box in the right hand corner showed that five unpaid furlough days were approved for the IRS’s 90,000 employees. Since they hate taxes so much, maybe Cavuto and Dawald should pay jobless benefits out of their own pockets for those 90,000 workers they want to see lose their employment. But don’t hold your breath.
