In fact, it’s these piles of personal-finance books that have prompted me to make this week Book Week at Get Rich Slowly. I used to review several books each month, but I’ve only reviewed a handful in 2010. This week, I’ll review some of the books I’ve read recently (though not Lonesome Dove), and the GRS staff writers will each review a book, too.
As part of Book Week, I want to do something about the pile of personal-finance books on the floor of my office. I’m not in the mood to wade through the legalities that go along with a contest, so I’ll probably just make it simple by giving them away. I’ll sort through my extra books over the next couple of days, and later in the week I’ll do some sort of give-away.
The only thing I know for sure: In order for me to consider sending you a book, you must have a previously-published comment on this site. I’m not going to send books to first-time commenters. (Why not? Because these folks are often just swinging by from other sites because they’ve heard they can get something free.) So, if you think you might want a book, be sure to comment on one of the upcoming book reviews or on an article from the archives.
That’s it for now. Tune in tomorrow for reviews of The Art of Non-Conformity and The Simple Dollar.
There is a suspicion in this country (which I share) that the people who run our government have a sense of entitlement, that they believe that there are two sets of laws, one for them and one for the rest of the rest of the people. We can now put an end to those suspicions. They have now been proven.
All this political talk about tax cuts is all nonsense. Federal employees have taken their own tax cut. Not an approved tax cut mind you, but a tax cut the same. According to the IRS people presently working for the federal government owe an aggregate of more than $1.3 billion in back taxes. The average federal scofflaw owes $8,700. When you add in retired Civilian and military employees, that number jumps to $3.3 Billion.
According to the Washington Post Article reporting the scofflaws, one of the biggest collection of scofflaws can be found within the organizations making our tax law, the legislature:
The debt among Hill employees has risen at a faster rate than the overall tax debt on the government's books, according to Internal Revenue Service data. It comes at a time when some Republican members are pushing for the firings of government workers who owe the IRS and President Obama has urged a crackdown on delinquent government contractors.
The IRS information does not identify delinquent taxpayers by name, party affiliation or job title and does not indicate whether members of Congress are among the scofflaws. It shows that 638 employees, or about 4 percent, of the 18,000 Hill workers owe money.But its not just congressional staffers who owe money. Some of the most ironic examples of tax avoidance include the department of treasury, where the IRS sits $7.6 million, the FDIC $2.2 million, Stedman Graham Eric Holder's Department of Justice who prosecutes tax scofflaws, $14.4 million and of course my personal favorite the Office of Government Ethics $75 thousand.
The average unpaid tax bill is $12,787 among the Senate's delinquent taxpayers and $15,498 among those working in the House.
What the list below which shows delinquency by department, is that the people who are taking the money out of your pockets aren't putting in their fair share.
