36 Obama aides owe $833,000 in back taxes

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.

  1. In case you''ve forgotten....what about Timmy Geitner who owed more than $50k to the IRS back when soetoro-obama nominated the tax cheating, low-life to be Secretary of the Treasury. Guess what ? He got confirmed.with the help of many RINO. Lindsey Graham being one of them.

    Why are you surprised ?

  3. Is it a surprise that some of the highest members of our government pass over responsibilities that us normal people could possibly go to jail for? Absolutely not. They can get away with back taxes and not even paying taxes because they are held to a different standard than the rest of the population. Address them like everyone else, and this would be a non issue!
