An editorial, "Don't Tempt the IRS Into Bounty Hunting", by David Keating
(July 8th) in the Wall Street Journal may be of interest to this discussion.

Briefly, it states that the Senate's tax-reform bill provides for the removal
of the IRS budget from the appropriations process. Instead the IRS budget would
be bassed on a commission of the penalties and interest it collects from 
taxpayers, thereby creating an incentive to assess penalties. A cap on the 
commissions would be imposed to limit spending on what the IRS collects.
