Another Tax Cheater on Obama's Cabinet

Pilgrim · Jan 30, 2009

Wasn't there something said during the presidential campaign by the Democrats - I believe it was Joe Biden - about it being our patriotic duty to pay our taxes? Now here's the second tax cheat that's been selected to serve on the messiah's cabinet. Can anyone imagine these clowns getting confirmed if they were Republicans? Notice this was released to the press in a Friday night. We'll see if this is mentioned on any of the Sunday morning shows as being a potential problem or just a "minor distraction".

WASHINGTON – Former Sen. Tom Daschle, picked by President Barack Obama to lead his health reform efforts, recently filed amended tax returns to report $128,203 in back taxes and $11,964 in interest, according to a Senate document obtained by The Associated Press

Was in not the Dumbecrats who campained against the "Culture of Corruption"? It is time to "shine the light" on these roaches (polititions). We have to take back our power and get rid of them. The Rebumlicans too. They just sit up there laughing at us and taking over our lives as we swoon over them. Maybe we are as stupid as they think we are. It is up to you and me. Do you intend to stay stupid? I don't want to. (that "you" was a generic you, not you personally Pilgrim) Layoutshooter

All this time I thought it was a national game of avoiding paying taxes and to cheat on your tax returns! I've been told this is a north american yearly practice. You mean politicians are supposed to be above this? Since when? They are the leaders in lies, decit, avoidance of blame, passing the buck and spending others money without a care and of taking favours from special interest groups. So why should not paying a little tax upset everyone so much?
You know the cure... start another party with morals, ethics and honesty as the main prerequisite to join and represent.

That is my plan, I want to do away with the Dumbecrats and the Rebumlicans. What are you guys gonna do up there? I would bet money your garden slugs (politions) are as bad as ours. I know for a fact cheating on taxes up there is a participation sport. I used to have Canadians come into the stores I worked at going out of thier way to avoid Canadian taxes. Layoutshooter

Yeah we have a lot of taxes so canucks do try to avoid them. I used to have customers come into my store and ask how much for an item for cash and no taxes. But they failed to realize that I still had to report the sales some where and the taxes. I really laugh at some drivers (o/o) I see at garages that pay cash to avoid the taxes thinking they got a deal and got away with something and then at tax time they are scrambling for receipts to reduce their income level, and some come back to the same garages and ask for made up receipts for work not done to cover what they want! What morons!

They used to trailer thier boats down to Cabela's in Dundee or Gander Mountian in Taylor MI when I worked at those stores. They would buy electronics, fish finders etc, and pay to have them installed or sit out in the parking lots and install them themselfs prior to going back across into Canada. Candian Customs never asks how long equipment has been on a boat when it crosses back into Canada. They assume it has always been on the boat. That is one of the ways they would go about avoiding taxes. Layoutshooter

The most galling thing about these crooks/politicians - other than their hypocrisy - is the fact that they're all extremely wealthy, and paying these taxes doesn't constitute a hardship for them. Their attitude is the same as that of Leona Helmsley (remember the b*tch hotel queen from NY?) - paying taxes is for the "little people". Of course she went to prison for not paying hers.

Yea, betcha pennies to dollars that none of these polititions will go to jail for not paying THIER taxes. In fact, they will raise our taxes to pick up thier slack. Layoutshooter
