President Barack Obama on Wednesday signed an executive order directing the Office of Management and Budget and other federal agencies to keep contractors who are delinquent on their taxes from getting new contracts with the government. He also directed the IRS to review contractor filings to ensure the companies are not lying about the taxes they've paid.

"By issuing this directive, all of us in Washington will be required to be more responsible stewards of your tax dollars. All across this country, there are people who meet their obligations each and every day. You do your jobs. You support your families. You pay the taxes you owe – because it's a fundamental responsibility of citizenship," Obama said in a prepared statement.

I guess they can still work in his administration though.

[rfpzzzzz]

He should also keep those who owe taxes from having any government job , or retirement benefits until the tax is paid. What a con job this guy is.

[Emmett McCarthy]

How many members of Congress won’t be getting their paychecks as a result?

[ltc8k6]

Great, more tax bureacracy...

[Hattie]

All the tax cheats already serve as Tzars for his administration.

[bravo whiskey]

how about cabinet members, administration officials, and congressmaen who are deliquent on their taxes get fired, fined, and maybe jailed or community service.

"By issuing this directive, all of us in Washington will be required to be more responsible stewards of your tax dollars. Let me translate Obambi speak....WE ARE GOING TO RESPONSIBLY STEAL FROM YOU!

[hal ogen]

What a poseur, tool, fool!

[counterpunch]

Doesn’t Tim Geithner have a government contract?

[freekitty]

Give us a break from these idiots.

Being late on paying taxes now constitutes CHEATING? under the man-child?

The man-child is counting on the public knowing absolutely ZERO about Government contracting. There are tons of certifications and signed documents that are required when bidding on a Government contract and falsifying them are criminal acts CURRENTLY. Additionally there are certifications of each monthly or bimonthly invoice submitted to the Government on cost-type contracts. There is no end to the Government ability to go after these "cheats" today and no new laws or Presidential Orders/Directives are required. Just more piling on the evil CONTRACTORS - Destroy America as soon as he can to bring about his MARXIST STATE.

Hey obama, first fire all the tax cheats in your administration. Then maybe we’ll believe you’re serious. Nah, probably not, you have no known nor measurable integrity...

[clintonh8r]

Geithner and Charlie “The Pile” Rangel are exempt, apparently.....

[TruthWillWin]

There goes his cabinet.

This guy is a pro at ‘say one thing do another’ did you notice he just gave a political speech in a church? Next he’ll pull the church’s tax exempt status and confiscate the land. Can’t wait for the punishment that will be dished out in the State of the Union teleprompter speech in retaliation for voters making him look bad.
