Federal Workers Owe Billions in Unpaid Taxes

January 18th, 2007

HA!

Via: WTOP:

As the 2006 tax season approaches, the federal government is still trying to recover nearly $3 billion from its own employees who failed to file income tax returns for 2005.

More than 450,000 active and retired federal employees did not voluntarily comply with federal income tax requirements for the 2005 tax year, according to documents obtained by WTOP through the Freedom of Information Act.

The total balance owed is $2,799,950,165.

The documents show that every federal agency has employees who failed to comply with federal tax laws.

Seventy-one employees in the Executive Office of the President, which includes the White House, owe $664,527 in taxes for 2005. About 20 of those employees have entered into an IRS payment plan, bringing the EOP balance down to $455,881owed by 50 employees.

The White House did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

    Looks like people are finally waking up to the reality of the non-existent “law” which says people need to pay a federal tax (hint, it doesn’t exist).

    Of course government workers don’t pay. They know better than anyone that the federal gov is a sham and money given to it just goes to waste.
