More than 318,000 federal workers and retirees owe just over $3.3 billion in back taxes, the Internal Revenue Service said.
That works out to nearly 3.3 percent of all 9.8 million federal workers and retirees who are behind on their taxes — significantly lower than the proportion of delinquent taxpayers in the overall population. The IRS estimates that to be at least 8.7 percent.
Those behind in their tax payments include 714 people working for the House and Senate. IRS officials said the data used to compile the report does not indicate whether any of those delinquent taxpayers were members of Congress.
In addition, 821 employees of the nation's federal courts have overdue tax bills. IRS officials said the data did not indicate whether any of them were judges.

And they should be suspended, without pay, until their taxes are current. Especially ANY elected official. How can you vote for something that you, yourself, don't follow? This is a local, state and federal problem.
