The U.S. Postal Service has more tax delinquents in its ranks than any other federal agency or department, according to Internal Revenue Service data.
Maybe their tax payments got lost in the mail.
The U.S. Postal Service turns out to have more tax delinquents in its ranks than any other federal agency or department, according to the Internal Revenue Service.
IRS statistics from 2008 detailing the amount of money federal workers failed to pay the government in taxes showed postal service employees owed $297.93 million -- nearly 10 percent of the $3.04 billion owed by federal employees and retirees from dozens of agencies.

The check’s in the mail.
Federal employees go by the Leona Helmsley rule: Only the little people pay taxes.
She went to jail. Why don’t these public serpents go to the Graybar Hotel?
Well, they are awfully busy that day...
Another hate the USPS Ping
AND they give such awesome, wonderful, fantastic SERVICE. Makes you appreciate how well these folks would do Health Care! Can’t wait..
They deliver except from their own pocket.
ot but it is really tiring when you take print outs from their website to the counter and the clerks have no idea what services they say they provide
The USPS is probably the best postal service in any large nation. So if the USPS is any guide, we will at least have the most efficient socialized medicine in the whole world.
Notice that USPS employees owe 10% of the total amount.
The other 90% are owed by all the other agencies.
So, think about it a minute ~ how many USPS employees are there and how many "other" government employees are there, and how much does each owe.
I think you get the picture ~ USPS has about 750,000. There were, in 2008, 4,208,000 federal military and civilian employees (including USPS). We end up with: USPS employees, a mere 17.8% of the total federal workforce, owing 10% of the taxes outstanding, and all the others, constituting 82.2% owing the other 90%.
The implication is clear, the 17.8% who owe 10% are almost twice as dedicated to paying their taxes than all the others.
I suspect your government paid doctors will be riffling through your pockets for loose change once they get you dressed out for serious gut surgery.

Everyone around me is so much safer as a consequence.
Which still means it will suck, but it will just suck less?
But feeding outrage, not "higher math" is the staple at Fox News where they leave such ciphering to the pointy heads and instead concentrate on supplying a lovely assortment of short-skirted news babes.
We can always look on the bright side.
The check is in the mail!
The only thing the USgov could make that would suck less would be a vacuum cleaner.
