Hooray for Government! Taxes are only for little people

41 Obama White House aides owe the IRS $831,000 in back taxes -- and they're not alone | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times

We now know that federal employees across the nation owe fully $1 billion in back taxes to the Internal Revenue Service.

Privacy laws prevent release of individual tax delinquents' names. But we do know that as of the end of 2009, 41 people inside Obama's very own White House owe the government they're allegedly running a total of $831,055 in back taxes. That would cover a lot of special chocolate desserts in the White House Mess.

sadly I'm not surprised.

Wonder what would happened if the American tax payer refused to pay taxes until they paid theirs??

wonder how many of those 41 are lobbyists Obama said he wouldn't allow in his White House...err...unless, of course, they possessed needed skills and experience.

How do these people still get a paycheck? Should be the easiest back taxes to collect in history given that the employer writing the check is also the one to whom the taxes are owed.

They can be brutal to military personnel.
