It is the responsibility of all Americans to honestly and fully pay their taxes--I have my entire life. Taxes provide funding for the welfare and security of all citizens, as well as operation, maintenance and security of federal facilities and installations. Pre-eminent among those facilities is the White House, which has been referred to in the past as "The People's House". It is the height of cynicism for any administration to invite to the White House, as an official visitor, anyone who owes Federal taxes. Said differently, before anyone gets invited to the White House, they should fulfill their responsibility to pay all their taxes, in full and in a timely manner. Consider it a cover charge to gain admittance.
