Share?”: Obama Has 36 Aides Who Owe $833,000 In Back
Taxes<http://scottystarnes.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/mr-fair-share-obama-has-36-aides-who-owe-833000-in-back-taxes/>by

When Obama whines that everyone must pay their "fair share," he only meant
for those not working in his administration to pay that fair share. Obama
has a tendency to hire those who refuse to pay their fair share.

How embarrassing this must be for President Obama, whose major speech theme
so far this campaign season has been that every single American, no matter
how rich, should pay their "fair share" of taxes.
Because how unfair -- indeed, un-American -- it is for an office worker
like, say, Warren Buffet's secretary to dutifully pay her taxes, while some
well-to-do people with better educations and higher incomes end up paying a
much smaller tax rate.
Or, worse, skipping their taxes altogether.
A new report just out from the Internal Revenue Service reveals that 36 of
President Obama's executive office staff owe the country $833,970 in back
taxes. These people working for Mr. Fair Share apparently haven't paid any
share, let alone their fair share.
Previous reports have shown how well-paid Obama's White House staff is,
with 457 aides pulling

more
than $37 million last year. That's up seven workers and nearly $4 million
from the Bush administration's last year.
Nearly one-third of Obama's aides make more than $100,000 with 21 being
paid the top White House salary of $172,200, each.
The IRS' 2010 delinquent tax revelations come as part of a required annual
agency report on federal employees' tax compliance. Turns out, an awful lot
of folks being paid by taxpayers are not paying their own income taxes.
The report <http://www.wtop.com/?nid=41&sid=2720349> finds that thousands
of federal employees owe the country more than $3.4 billion in back taxes.
That's up 3% in the past year.
