"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Postal Service Employees Owed $300M in Taxes, IRS Data Shows

Why are we not shocked? With all these people owing back taxes, the Congress might want to look at the Tax Code and ask why people are not paying taxes.

Between Federal Employees, the Obama Administration appointees and Congressional members/staff who have not paid taxes, it makes us wonder what is happening.

Do the postal workers know something that ordinary Americans don't know when it comes to paying taxes or cannot they not afford to pay the taxes?

Taxes at all levels of Government have been on the rise. We hate to think what is going to happen with the Bush Tax Cuts set to expire in 2010. Are the Democrats going to allow all the tax cuts to expire? Scary thought!
