Yet another example of the political class exempting itself from the rules that apply to us little people. Tar and feathers anyone?

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.

You didn’t know Washington was populated by venal lawless pigs?
No matter how cynical I get, it’s never enough to keep up!

Obviously you gots ta' make your payoff to the "job finder" guy first. That's somebody in Chicago Fur Shur.
Then there are a string of these guys at different places in the Obama Regime ~ and they get their cut, which you pay them personally, and maybe over time because they know you do have to get food, clothing and shelter! Not much mind you, but if you go around The Man it'd better be a nice suit ~ nothing from Penneys or Sears eh!
The TAX COLLECTOR is last on the list after the landlord and car dealer ('cause these people gots ta' pay on contracts, not leins").
Obama is happy. The guys in Chicago are happy. His fixer in the White House is happy. The tax collectors will get their piece later ~ with interest.
Everybody happy!
That’s sad and funny at the same time.
It’s enough to drive me crazy!
If I were a campaign manager, let’s say...do you have any idea the amount of ammo I could get from the stuff here at FR?
A. MA. ZING.
Venal pigs is right.
We need the entire list of all of the tax deadbeats that owe over 1 Trillion Dollars.
I wonder how much his secretary owes.
WRONG!
It is impossible to embarrass King Obamasiah and Queen Highpockets.
They make the Clintons look like Ozzie and Harriet.
What IRS does at its center in Covington KY is MAKE DEALS FOR PAYMENT. A very large percentage of the arrearages are already being dealt with under an IRS payment plan but they still get counted.
The news about federal government employees pops up from time to time.
The news about unemployed people drawing unemployment compensation doesn't, and that's most likely because people without money not paying taxes is just not news.
