This is part of the 'culture of corruption' that has been decried of late. Too bad.

Now we need to see what the rest of the nation owes. That number will be much higher because there are far fewer federal employees than other working Americans.

The question is, what is the difference in percentage owed by each group?

There are a lot of people that don't pay their taxes. If one IRS agent and their team in Wisconsin can bring in over $1 million dollars of unpaid taxes every year, well, that says a lot. That's after paying for their salaries and benefits as well.

so what does that mean ? Do you have figures comparing tax delinquencies of federal employees vs non-federal employees ? It'd be just as valid, given the amount of data we BOTH have, to say that EVERYBODY pays their taxes EXCEPT federal employees. I"d throw in state and local employees as well....but where's the numbers ? Without them, theres nothing other than the case for delinquent federal workers who are not paying their taxes.

Wow. I'm saying people from all walks of life try to cheat.

You need the data from the entire data set to come up with a valid conclusion.

Otherwise, you are making up statistics...

Had you put it this way, I'd not have challenged you as I believe this statement to be correct

all I found was a spreadsheet outlining/detailing statistics on tax delinquency by fed employees. If you're gonna hint at a broader spectrum of political corruption you need facts. That's how I interpreted the motivation of the response. For my part, I merely illustrated that random statements offer nothing but incendiary invective. I agree with your second statement too. All I'm asking for, is something more. The claim was made (with a data sheet) that fed employees are delinquent in taxes in some way shape or form. While there is no demarcation of political affiliation in the chart, the question was framed in a political manner to indicate the tax delinquents were demokrats or connected in some way to obama. That's how I took it, and IMO, that was a successful connection as I believe all 'participants' took it the same way. The defense of demokrats suggested not only that 'others' are tax cheats too, but the inference was that republicans engage as well. Everyone knows it's true, but only the Fed chart was produced, linking federal employees to tax delinquency. I agree with the statement but call the argument weak. And besides, I'm a republican and I NEVER cheat on my taxes.....

so how far down my throat is my foot right now ?

This is mostly for Sal and That Buck guy (or any other lib)

I always wait to the last minute to pay any taxes, and sometimes just for good measure, I'll wait a bit, but not too long what the gobberment charges for interest they should be arrested for loan sharking.

What I pay in income and property taxes someone in their right mind could live on it with no problem and enjoy life.... But no, I didn't settle for a mobile home or apartment, I had to be in a country club environment (I play golf), I could have settled for a pool like a normal human being, but no I had to have a second home on the lake.. I could have go a decent paying 40 hour job home everyday, but no I wanted to make that six figure income, and now.. I'm laughing all the way to the bank you freaking liberals, because I earned every bit of it, and didn't sit on my A$$ waiting on a handout from Uncle Sam or in your case Uncle Obammy.... lol...

Well-said. This is the basic objection towards liberals. THey would deny you the freedom to seek that which you want, and they'd over-regulate the universe to deny you the liberty to accomplish your goals. The worst part of it all, is they are too stupid to understand that basic fact, claiming they're more intelligent or educated while their actions DEMONSTRATE the exact opposite. What self-important, ignorant, duplicitous arrogant pukes.

What really makes me want to puke is they are wanting to cut off the hand that is feeding them. What would they do if no one in America made over 30 K a year?.... I tell you what they would do, they would ALL pay taxes, and I be it would be a flat tax and probably in the 40 % since they didn't have and successful people paying for the luxury of them sitting on their A$$es while the ONE percent of hard working Americans fund most of the Gobberment... The Idiots,


I don't know how they can cross the road without getting hit, they have as much brains as a nail head, and dumber than a rock! I've NEVER met on Liberalturd, that I got along with. I had a contractor up north that was a bleeding lib, and had trouble with him the whole job!!!! I won't let him bid on anything again.

I thought it was only me, being all 'piss and vinegar' but I think it's a natural revulsion of libs by normal people. Interesting observation....
