[Michael.SF.]

in 1995 — (Cummings made) $38,600 as a lawyer

Wasn't much of a lawyer was he?

[grumpygresh]

They’ll find more than that in his refrigerator.

[Mark17]

What do you suppose would happen to either of us if we owed the IRS 30 grand?

Nothing good for sure, but he has pigment protection.

[QT3.14]

Or stretching a rope.

No problem

[bigbob]

Depends on whether we’re Democrats in Congress, or not...

[BreezyDog]

All I can say is...”typical”

[Enten]

perfect link!

[Bubba_Leroy]

Laws are for the little people.

This is why powerful liberals support high marginal tax rates; they just don’t pay their taxes.

[TBP]

He doesn’t have to pay — he’s a Dhimmicrap.

[M Kehoe]

Bttt.

“What do you suppose would happen to either of us if we owed the IRS 30 grand?”

I wil let you know.

[Finatic]

When Rush was talking about the Cummings tax issues today he said “i dont think that even tax defense partners could get him out of this mess”

[Rome2000]

It's his IRS now

[VerySadAmerican]

Three days after winning the election to congress he pays up $3,900. Where did he get the money? Did he take his first bribe before he was even sworn in?

[coloradan]

A spokesman for the IRS declined to comment, saying it is the agency’s policy to protect taxpayers’ privacy - except, of course, when doing so could derail certain political campaigns in a manner advantageous to the then-reigning administration. Right, Christine O'Donnell?

[Sivad]

If we owed the IRS 30K it would probably be no sweat as long as
we were Democrook Congressional Rep types trying to rescue
them from their own illegal activities. They would find some
wealthy Republican types to shake down to make up the loss.

House bill would fire tax-delinquent federal workers

One measure, sponsored by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), would require federal agencies to fire employees and reject potential hires with “seriously delinquent” tax debt, meaning those who have been hit with a tax lien. Democrats opposed that bill when it was considered by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last month.

Critics say the legislation to fire tax-delinquent feds would unfairly target civil servants, some of whom may already face economic hardship because of the furloughs that certain agencies have proposed to absorb the government-wide spending cuts that took effect on March 1.

“This is a perfect example of how out of touch this Congress is,” said Colleen M. Kelley, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, which represents approximately 150,000 federal workers.

About 3.6 percent of the nation’s nearly 3 million federal civilian employees owed a combined $1 billion in back taxes in 2011, according to data from the Internal Revenue Service.
