Tax Cheats

A large number of federal employees owe money to the Internal Revenue Service, one estimate places the amount owed at $1 billion. And 41 White House employees owe the IRS some $831,000. It should be noted that this amount isn't very different from the last year of the Bush administration, although obviously the people are largely different.

The IRS is a part of the Department of Treasury, in which department 1204 individuals owe the government $7,670,814. The list goes on and on. The original article is from The Washington Post and is by T. W. Farnam. A follow-on article in the Los Angeles Times by Andrew Malcolm is also good.
