Government jobs are growing as we know.....must be a good place to work...
"...as of 2010, there are 98,291 federal employees who owe us $1.034 billion. (That’s billion with a B.) This really shouldn’t surprise anyone since the number of federal employees who are also tax delinquents has been fairly consistent: about 100,000 over the last seven years. The problem is that during that period the amount owed has soared from $600 million to over $1 billion."
While not the worst of the lot, worth noting...
"The Presidential staff has 36 employees owing a total of $833,000 – that comes out to $23,000 per employee!"
Maybe we dont need the class warfare if we just went after these folks, AND it appears that finally..
"So what has the Congress been doing to rein in their employees who are tax chiselers? Not much, which is why the amount of money owed in back taxes continues to skyrocket. But finally, there is an effort to clamp down on this disgusting matter. Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) has decided that the American people deserve better behavior from their employees."
He has actually entered a bill that would allow termination for those who do not pay their income taxes. As we know this will be blocked at some venture along the way along with our budget and everything else...
