When We Said "Wealth Redistribution" We Meant YOUR Wealth

The Internal Revenue Service is trying to collect billions of dollars in late taxes from nearly half a million federal employees.

Documents obtained by WTOP radio through the Freedom of Information Act show the federal employees and retirees did not pay more than $3.5 billion in taxes owed last year.
And it's not just lowly employees.

Tax and spend advocates Charles Rangel and Al Franken are two of the prominent names that have surfaced recently as being perfectly willing to bleed you dry while not ponying up--what is it the collectivists call it?--"their fair share."

This is yet more proof the federal government is being hijacked by hucksters.
Here's the list in order of the top money receivers from Fanny Mae.
1, Dobson
2, Oboma
3, Hillary
4, Barney Fag
5, Up-Chuck
These bottom feeders blocked everything they could from blowing the lid off of unlawful conduct. Will the Criminal Justice System do its duty and go after these criminals with the full force of the law?

What's Franken got to do with this? He's not a federal employee - yet.

Sorry you don't get the connection of principles involved.

No one "owes" any taxes any more than you "owe" your wallet to the mugger in the alley. But I guess cheerleading for the police-state gets you some perks.

Who is "Dobson"?
Where did you get that list? Link please.

I heard this information on the Mark Levin show. I ran a search (can be done on any one of them) and you will get many links like the one above.
My mistake, Dobb.

James Dobson is a conservative Christian in charge of Focus on the Family. I believe he is anti-gun, but I don't know that he's especially pro-government.

Wow, I wish they told me I don't have to pay taxes at orientation! Talk about a government perk. Now I wonder if there's a way to get back the money I already paid in...

The much-maligned third-party candidates abhor our tax system and want it dead. Too bad 95% of voters aren't willing to take a chance on them. Votes SAY they want different, responsible, accountable officials, but those aren't the people they install in the halls of power.
We're taught from the time we're old enough to understand: "Two parties good, three parties bad." Taught by whom? The two parties.
