Quote:WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is ordering a new crackdown on federal contractors who don't pay their taxes.

He was signing an executive order Wednesday telling federal agency chiefs to take steps to bar those companies from receiving new government contracts. Obama was also directing the IRS to review contractor filings to ensure the companies are not lying about the taxes they've paid.

"It is simply wrong for companies to take taxpayer dollars and not be taxpayers themselves," Obama said in his prepared remarks. "We need to insist on the same sense of responsibility in Washington that so many of you strive to uphold in your own lives, in your own families and in your own businesses."

I dare you to find something more hypocritical.

I guess it's only ok to be a tax cheat if you've been appointed by Obama.

Hypocrisy reigns supreme. Obama is a hypocritical buffoon.

Hypocrisy? Yes.

But since I believe that gov't should contractors pay their taxes, I don't fault this effort, I fault the fact that Obama was (is?) so lax in the past. Even at that, if the administration corrects that lax approach, I'd commend it.

In the end, I'd rather just see the gov't spend less. Period.

Why does Obama keep demanding that people do what his people don't have to? It's not just income taxes, it's union members being shielding from Cadillac health plan taxes, voter intimidation, blah, blah, blah.... someone needs to call him out on all this crap and no one will.
