^^precisely. The public needs to research and stay informed, and realize that American media today is no longer representative of true facts on important issues.

I see, so no rich Democrats fit your description above? How about responding to my three concerns about entitlements for the undeserving rather than party demonizing?

36 Obama aides owe $833,000 in back taxes

A new report just out from the Internal Revenue Service reveals that 36 of President Obama's executive office staff owe the country $833,970 in back taxes. These people working for Mr. Fair Share apparently haven't paid any share, let alone their fair share.
Source: As Obama demands rich Americans pay more in taxes, the IRS reveals 36 Obama aides are far behind in their taxes by Andrew Malcolm - Investors.com

That does not even count the Secretary of the Treasury Timothy "Tax Cheat" Geithner.

By your own words, the Obama Administration is morally bankrupt.

It more than amply demonstrates that the Obama Administration is morally brankrupt according to MTATech.

After all, it was he who said:
"It sure seems to me that the people who won't pay taxes to help those in need are the morally bankrupt ones."
All I did was point out that the Obama Administration fits his description of being morally bankrupt perfectly.

Those living below the poverty level need to pay taxes to support the needy, interesting.

I remember hearing that news right after Geithner was named Treasurer Secretary. No one seemed to mind, especially the President's supporters. I thought it was outrageous and hypocritical that Obama would have someone like that in his circle when he felt so strongly about people paying their "fair share."

From your article, active duty military members owe more than $100 million. I guess they are all morally bankrupt too.

Plus better not leave out the other 11 million taxpayers who filed tax returns with unpaid balances last year - That's 28 billion owed by who (using the words of the article) are skipping their taxes altogether.....and these are the folks with good paying jobs (and many who are conservative), not those getting 'handouts from the government'.....
