TAXPROF: Would Obama be fired for audit threats if he worked for the IRS? Obama: “President Crowe and the Board of Regents will soon learn all about being audited by the IRS.”

That’s not really funny, and it’s not as if Obama has done much to enhance the credibility of the tax system so far. . . .

UPDATE: Reader Jay Stannard writes:

I want Obama to threaten me with a tax audit. Please! Because if he does, the IRS will never audit me. I’ll claim it’s politically motivated.

Not as good as Geithner’s protection, but I’ll take it.

Let me know how things work out.
