Barry's Debt to IRS Exceeds $277,000, Prosecutors Say
D.C. Council member Marion Barry owes the federal government more than $277,000 in back taxes, interest and penalties and has failed in six recent months to make scheduled payments on taxes owed the D.C. government, according to federal authorities.
Federal authorities have said that Barry (D-Ward 8) failed to pay the bulk of his taxes on more than $500,000 earned from 1999 through 2004. But they had not disclosed the amount until a court filing yesterday.

Could it be part of why the Dems what to raise taxes on the "rich". They know it doesn't apply to them because they just don't pay?
There is absolutely no excuse for anyone especially someone that holds a public office to not pay taxes.
