Where did Roy get this secret information if it weren't reported?

It has nothing to do with releasing tax returns. I don't want them to release their returns, I want them to pay "their fair share." They aren't paying their share of the taxes, while mine go up.

Like it or not, Romney paid everything he was supposed to pay UNDER THE LAW. These people are not. And they are federal employee's, who are supposed to be setting an example for the rest of the country.

Not too mention, if Bush was the president or any other republican, you would be the first one frothing at the mouth complaining about how they are "tax cheats."

How do you know they haven't paid their taxes without seeing their tax returns?

Also, Bush showed his tax returns too, so on that end of it, I am cool with him when it comes to taxes.

If he didn't pay his taxes the IRS would have paid him a visit right? Or did Romeny own the IRS too. You loons were crying abotu his taxes from ten years ago. He paid what he owed. Now you let bammers boys get off scott free and all you do is continue to whine about Romney. Romney isn't even in this discussion. It's funny all you loons can do to defend the actions of dear leader is to somehow compare it to anybody and everybody from the past who you claim did the same thing. You vilified them but not the ONE. Pathetic.

If the IRS finds you in fault, that pretty much means you have to pay them back right? Is there a sign that these people aren't going to pay those backtaxes?

Also, I managed to track down the original report that was referenced which includes a very rough breakdown for all civilian and military departments and includes retirees as well:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/79290934/C...RDI-2010-Final

though I didn't actually go through the original data itself (just the report that went through it and where it looks like the original articles were posted). It looks like the report was for 2010 if anyone's interested. The delinquency rate overall looks to be about on par with/slightly lower than the general population if this is just income with some agencies (don't know how to factor other taxes in or where to look for that stuff). Also, I found it funny that the IRS itself wasn't included in this breakdown (didn't look that deeply though, so maybe it's there or under another name or branch). How much does the IRS owe the IRS?

Roy is just addressing the concerns of Dems expressed repeatedly in the past few months.
I'd expect you all to call your Congressman right away to have this looked into.


Lead the Charge!

Your argument was for the other side of this- go get 'em!

You might think so, but you're applying a rational assumption to an irrational group.

Don't waste your keystrokes. It has been medically proven that Liberals have an area of the brain that is impenetrable to any form of logic, reason, common sense or anything anti-Obama.

That figures out to over $46K for each person, on the average.

You see this is why Democrats are so eager to raise taxes, they don’t pay them anyway!

This appears to be a long re-occurring theme with them over the years;
