(11-03) 15:20 PST OAKLAND -- Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums and his wife failed to pay more than $239,000 in taxes over a three-year period and have had a lien slapped on their property by the Internal Revenue Service, public records show. ...

Yeah yeah yeah, another Democrat politician didn’t pay all his taxes. But Dellums isn’t your typical “the rich aren’t paying their fair share!” Democrat. He was among the luminaries of the 60’s New Left and was the first traveled in April to Cuba to meet with their hero Fidel Castro.

Now that’s its been discovered that Dellums has owed taxes for three years, let’s see what the good mayor has been up to since taking office in January 2007:

Taxes are for the little people - not for the political elites.

It's not hypocrisy at all... Liberals want everyone ELSE to pay higher taxes (especially those evil rich).

They themselves though want to pay nothing.

I was watching a tread on DU a few weeks ago, and even the far left fringe wasn't willing to pay even a dollar extra THEMSELVES for this healthcare reform.

Everyone just wants a free lunch, but no one wants to pay.

The article says it all about the type of people they are. They are stereotype Democrats.

I would really like to see some kind of graph which tracked two types of information:

1) Percentage of Democrats who support higher taxes vs Percentage of Republicans who support higher taxes.
2) Percentage of Democrats caught up in scandals for non-payment of taxes vs Percentage of Republicans caught up in scandals for non-payment of taxes.

Democrats are arrogant elitists who think they are above the little people. They make the laws; we must adhere to the laws -- but they don't have to. Disgusting.

Hasn’t it been established by the Oamba administration that good liberals need not pay taxes if it doesn’t suit them?

In addition to their destructive and anti-American believes, the majority of liberals have a very profound and disturbing character vice and that the vice of Hypocrisy. That is why I can never have a liberal friend, I simply cannot tolerate this ugly character vice of Hypocrisy.

I dunno, but I just don't click on them. Got enough to read as it is.

Besides, who's surprised at this about Dellums? I can put one to this story: Dellums was the leading check-bouncer of the House Bank fiasco back in the day; 900G or something like that, iirc. Some things never change.

Liberals and leftists should be taxed at a higher rate, since they’re the ones who want all the government spending.

Dellums is a Marxist remnant of the 1960’s.

I was in the audience when Ron Dellums camne to speak to my Political Science class in 1972. HE CALLED FOR THE ARMED OVERTHROW OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT.

Can you believe that he became the Chair of the Armed Services Committee?
