83,000 Obama Department of Defense workers have tax debt

If you are a tea party or conservative group trying to get tax exempt status, then the Obama IRS will extort everything they can from you. if you ever get your tax exempt status approved by Obama’s IRS, then consider yourself lucky. However, if you are one of roughly 83,000 Obama Department of Defense workers who has a tax debt, then the IRS isn’t concerned about you. See how screwed up the Obama regime really is? If you are an honest, run of the mill conservative American, the IRS will come after you. If you are a lazy, federal government worker who doesn’t pay their taxes, then no problem!

Security clearances were granted or approved for roughly 83,000 Department of Defense (DOD) employees and contractors who together owe more than $730 million in federal tax debt, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office.

The study was conducted at the request of Rep. Dave Camp, Sen. Tom Coburn, Sen. Susan Collins, and Sen. Orrin Hatch, all Republicans, as part of a review of the security-clearance process. The cumulative tax debt was as of June 30, 2012.

Just over half (about 44,500 individuals, with roughly $363 million in tax debt) were federal employees, while the remainder were “employees of federal contractors or had an ‘other’ designation.”

The report also found that roughly 26,000 of those employees, with a combined total of $229 million in tax debt, had access to classified information, as well. In order to gain classified access, defined as “physical proximity to property, assets, or knowledge of controlled or national security information,” an individual must first be determined eligible for clearance, then also be able to demonstrate a “need-to-know.”
