Hundreds of Capitol Hill Staffers Didn't Pay Taxes in 2010
Quote:
As Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich parse the details of their individual tax returns hundreds of Capitol Hill employees are taking taxpayer dollars to the bank without paying their share.
Internal Revenue Service data show that 3 percent of Senate staffers and more than 4 percent of House staffers owed taxes in 2010, adding up to about $10.6 million in unpaid taxes. More than 98,000 civilian federal employees were delinquent on their taxes in 2010, adding up to more than $1 billion in taxes owed, according to the IRS.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, last year introduced a bill to require federal employees to be fired if they are "seriously delinquent" on their taxes. Seriously delinquent is defined as outstanding federal tax debt for which a public lien has been filed. The bill was passed by committee in June but is still waiting for a vote from the full House.

I'm pretty sure the overwhelming majority of these people are dummycrap supporters.
