A Pakistani think tank says the majority of the country's lawmakers do not file tax returns despite a legal requirement to do so.

...they must think they is part of the obama administration.

A new report just out from the Internal Revenue Service reveals that 36 of President Obama's executive office staff owe the country $833,970 in back taxes. These people working for Mr. Fair Share apparently haven't paid any share, let alone their fair share.

Previous reports have shown how well-paid Obama's White House staff is, with 457 aides pulling down more than $37 million last year. That's up seven workers and nearly $4 million from the Bush administration's last year.

Nearly one-third of Obama's aides make more than $100,000 with 21 being paid the top White House salary of $172,200, each.

The IRS' 2010 delinquent tax revelations come as part of a required annual agency report on federal employees' tax compliance. Turns out, an awful lot of folks being paid by taxpayers are not paying their own income taxes.

The report finds that thousands of federal employees owe the country more than $3.4 billion in back taxes. That's up 3% in the past year.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani think tank says the majority of the country's lawmakers do not file tax returns despite a legal requirement to do so.

Pakistan has one of the lowest tax-to-GDP rates in the world because payment is not well-enforced and major areas of the economy, such as agriculture, are exempt from taxes.

Wednesday's report by the Center for Investigative Reporting in Pakistan says around two-thirds of the country's lawmakers failed to file income tax returns in 2011, the latest data available. A similar percentage of the government's 55 Cabinet members also failed to file returns.

Even lawmakers who filed returns often paid very low amounts of income tax. The report says the lowest-paying member of the senate who filed a return, Mushahid Hussain, paid less than $1 in income taxes.
