Leeches

About 10% of federal workers owe back taxes totaling about $3.4B. The National Review Online:

A recent report by the Washington Post shows that in 2010, some 279,000 federal workers and retirees owed more than $3.4 billion in back income taxes, up from $2.7 billion in 2007.

Interestingly, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has the largest percentage of people with tax delinquency issues, while U.S. Treasury Department has the lowest one (Geithner excluded?). The U.S. Office of Government Ethics’s delinquency rate is the 6th highest, at 6.81 percent.

Not only are they leeches in that they actively take from productive people without adding anything of value back in to society (The Office of Government Ethics is clearly a federal entity that isn’t even coming close to doing its job), but they don’t even pay their share of taxes that goes towards their own paycheck.

There is no logical reason why each and every one of these people shouldn’t be fired immediately, and rendered incapable of getting another government job. Ever.
