The White House recently released their annual salaries report to Congress.  As is usually the case, they did so late on a Friday evening (4:39 p.m. to be exact). 

The 2012 White House payroll for 468 employees amounts to $37.8 million.

There were over 100 various-titled assistant positions and two employees who are working for free:  Sr. Policy Advisor David Kaden and Special Assistant Andrew Parker.  I’m not sure why.

A few other interesting stats:

Lowest pay:  $41,000 (for assistants, associates, analysts, researchers)

Highest pay: $172,200 (salary for 20 WH employees such as Valarie Jarrett and Christina Tchen, Chief of Staff to the First Lady)

Greatest gig:  2 Calligraphers with salaries of $85,953 and $96,725

Most made-up job:  $140,000 for the Deputy Assistant for Energy and Climate Change

Most useless jobs:  2 Ethics Advisors with salaries of $140,259 and $136,134

13 “Information Services Operators” with salaries ranging from $42,000 to $68,230

People who need raises:  Presidential Speechwriters with salaries ranging between $60,000 to $100,000

13-Records Management Analysts:  It apparently takes a large staff to “manage” so many records in this White House… Salaries range from $42,000 to $73,917

10-Special Assistant and Associate Counsels to the President: 9 collect $130,500 annually and 1 with $114,000

5-Special Assistant to the President for Presidential Personnel, each paid $113,000 per year.  They must be very special indeed.

Bottom line, it’s a very good time to be employed by the Obama administration—not so great to live in America under his reign. 

November just can’t get here fast enough

AND YET !!!!!!

As President Obama has called for all Americans to pay their fair share in taxes, Investor's Business Daily columnist Andrew Malcolm notes that the White House staff owes a pretty hefty amount of back taxes to Uncle Sam:

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 [Obama] 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.

The report is part of an annual IRS review of unpaid taxes by government workers across the executive agencies and Congress — and the White House actually has a much lower tax delinquency rate than many of the agencies and Congress. Still, the report is certainly political fodder as President Obama highlights the need for all Americans to sacrifice for the common good.
