If they are refusing to pay taxes on the grounds that the Federal Government is spending that money for unconstitutional proposes I say we promote them!
The article shamelessly spits on this fundamental American principle by advocating that the relationship of a person with the federal government must depend on the source of his paycheck.
Tax law is a law; as such, it should be applied uniformly. The author indicates no consideration for this principle and shamelessly advocates its destruction.
And you cheer him on, Xtinct? "these people should be listed in every newspaper in the U.S. as well as all news sites online... or they should be fired and arrested..." ---only 'cause they are federal employees.
How conservative of you.
“In 2009, the US government failed to collect $1 billion a year from federal employees alone.”
“Capitol Hill employees owed $9.3 million in back taxes last year alone” these tend to be staffers, you know, the ones who wrote the DeathCare bill and left themselves out.
From the Comment section: “Many feds dodge taxes. Remember, they know all too well how money is squandered. ....if they do get fired, for not paying taxes or stealing federal funds, they get to keep retirement and other benefits, and the entire matter is quietly swept under the rug, using ‘confidentiality’ as a cover.”
HOW does this happen?
The tax system is socialist anyway. It should be gotten rid of along with the IRS. I guess the IRS has orders to not mess with the federal employees, eh?
What a corrupt government we have.
Fire them all!!!
