#1 Obama said an unnamed defense contractor obtained federal work yet owed more than $1 million in taxes.

Pi**es away trillions, gives away billions overseas, but frets over mouse turds he does. Makes perfect sense to me....if you want to destroy a company entirely.

#2 I'm sure there's a "fund" that they could pay a % of their "delinquency" to get right and make the pressure go away...

#4 He's shutting the door on American businesses. Just about all American mid and large businesses have tax disputes.

Now the only contractors will the the ones that don't pay US taxes, can you hear the Chinese running this way?

#6 The nominees are future payroll recipients, not accounts payable contractors, Bright Pebbles. Different budget line.

#7 The same rules should especially apply to salaried staff...

#8 The president also is directing the Internal Revenue Service to review the overall accuracy of companies claims about tax delinquency to be sure that when a company says its paying taxes, its not lying

So Tim Geithner's dept. is in charge of this ... hmmm ...

Silly BP, don't you know rules don't apply to Lefties?

#10 Agreed in this instance, Bright Pebbles, but it's easier to institute and enforce for contractors.
