Obama and the tax cheats

Writing in Investors Business Daily, Andrew Malcolm reports on a news release from the IRS on the tax status of federal employees. The IRS report, required by law, states that just about 10% of president Obama's White House employees are delinquent in paying their federal taxes. All together, these folks own the Treasury about $833,000. This works out to about $25,000 each for these tax deadbeats. Maybe next time Obama wants to talk about tax fairness, he can ask these staffers who average salaries of more than $150,000 to pay their taxes.
