Federal Workers Owe Nearly $1 Billion in Back Taxes

I almost had a coronary. That pretty much about wraps it up. Thank you and good day, it's time for a smoke to absorb this.

That is a lot of money. How much?

There are give or take, 100 million tax payers that pay any decent amount of taxes.

One billion = one more zero than 100 million, so $10 per taxpayer of all kinds to make up for that.

But remember, we are likely paying a gaggle of federal employees to keep track of this and report it every so often.

Post spin; too hard to just answer the question? Somehow it's ok for Gubment employees to not pay taxes? The rest of the population is obligated and the IRS hounds them until they do, why to Federal employees get a pass? Want to water down the argument because Gubment employees owe less than the rest of the delinquents? I believe the current expression would be "weak sauce."

Where did anyone say the government workers get a pass for not paying taxes.....I can't find that statement.

I think he is referring to bringing up that the general population owes more and thus the fed emp violation is slightly acceptable.

I think you are trying to pretend that was not implied.

Why don't call out LJ on calling it a lie, but does not show a lie and does her standard...present a different form of data. Of course she went from dollars to the almighty %, when in this case the data she presented would have shown a greater difference with a $, but yet just as outside the issue of....

How can federal employees get away with not paying back taxes. That is like not repaying a loan from your employer and ignoring it and expecting still to have a job. When your boss asks for the money, do you say, well you lent your neighbor money and let him keep it 2x as long? That is what LJ said.

lame. and supporting lame and not calling it out, even lamer.

Nope....that isn't what LJ said....nice convoluted try though.

Can you summarize what she said then so that it is clear, in stead of another half post intended to lead to more half posts and misunderstanding and namecalling debate?

Why answer the question when the easy answer isn't liberal friendly? Truth is a M***** F***** isn't it?

I'm still waiting for an answer to where anyone said that federal workers should get a pass on paying their taxes.....apparently you all are still looking for that. Get back to me when you find it.......

Archer, being I thing a typical American I have always thought that not paying taxes due was a formula to garnishment. seizure and despair.

How does this not pay your taxes and get a full pay check work? That is a generic question not dependent on whether you are a government employee or not.

I think taxes is what you did?
