Republicans should run an ad that lists all of the democrats in the Obama admin who are tax cheats in every part of the nation. America just isn't aware of how much corruption the democrats have been committing.

In the House of Representatives, 421 people owe a total $6,524,892. In the Senate, 217 owe $2,774,836. In the IRS parent department, Treasury, 1,204 owe $7,670,814. At the Labor Department, where Secretary Hilda Solis husband had some back-tax problems before her confirmation, 463 owe $7,481,463. Eighty-one workers for the Federal Reserve Systems board of governors owe $1,076,733. Over at the Justice Department, which is so busy enforcing other laws and suing Arizona, 1,971 employees still owe $14,350,152 in overdue taxes.
IMO, this is a national security issue. Part of a routine background check for those departments should include their tax payer compliance. Certainly it shouldn't be acceptable for anyone with any sort of security clearance to have unpaid taxes, whether federal, state or local.
Alternatively, they can scrap the tax code and give the rest of us peons tax amnesty too until they get the flat tax in place.

I have a solution. Cut government salaries to minimum wage then they won’t owe any taxes. Problem solved.

Heh.

I believe my plan would do just that. If government employees were paid what they are worth, they would seek employment in the private sector. Of course, that would require a renewed work ethic because the private sector demands results.

A poster after my heart. END the EPA,EDU, INTERIOR and other nanny state agencies. NOW. Especially the ones that don’t even enforce the TAX requirements everyone else lives by. OUT-FRIGGING-RAGOUS!

I can very easily do without her thinking about me in any way, shape or form. If I elaborate any more I’ll have the secret service knocking on my door.

From the L.A. Times via the Washington Post? I can’t believe it - they really have lost their adoration of “the one”.

Can't say it doesn't surprise me. I wouldn't doubt that there is even a secret Executive Order directing the IRS to wave tax collections for the elite Zero Empire.

This is crazy. The highest paying WH job pays in the mid 100's, I believe I'm suspecting that this may have changed in the current administration. Probably something on page 1,873 of the healthcare bill which no one has bothered to read yet.

Fire then and ban them from ever working for Govenment again. They do not deserve salarys and especially those fantastic medical and retirement benefits.

Since we The People pay their salaries through our own taxes, doesn't that make us their employer? If so, I say we start by garnishing their wages.
