News stories at tax time about tax cheats and the IRS cracking down are likely to undermine tax compliance. So, too, stories that Daschle (and others) under-reported are likely to have a negative effect on compliance. Overall, it is likely that most members of Congress and high-ranking members of the Executive branch (and the judicial branch for that matter) faithfully pay what they owe. So here is a proposal: let’s audit them all. The details of their returns need not be released, just final information on whether they owe back taxes.

I don’t see why we should tolerate one more average American being audited and forced to pay for their mistakes until they clean up their own house. I think President Obama would go a long way to achieving the bar he has set if he could oversee this action? Audit them all!
