But what is perhaps more shocking is that the delinquency rate for all Americans, in a country where only half of all people now even pay any taxes, is a whopping 8.2 percent and Treasury Department employees have a delinquency rate of 1.1 percent...

"Nearly 312,000 federal workers and retirees owed more than $3.5 billion in back taxes as of Sept. 30, 2011, the agency said. The year before, about 279,000 workers and retirees owed $3.4 billion.
