$6,400? That’s chump change. Paid your bills, deadbeat.

What the heck is with liberals, anyway?

They’re in favor of higher taxes, but not in favor of paying them?

I personally know lots of liberals that have this exact attitude.

It's entertaining to ask them about it, and listen to their answers. I file the answers mentally for times such as these. :-)

The Obama adiminstration doesn’t support tax cuts because they don’t pay taxes.

This is a textbook case of aristocracy.

If it were you or me, we’d have our hands on the hood of police cruiser, legs spread, hearing the subtle click of the cuffs as Officer Dave reads us our rights.

Did OhloyO actually think that he could be and appoint corrupt people as business as usual while publicly stating that he wasn’t going to? Did he actually believe that the media was going to give him a pass? Did he really think that? He MUST have.
Once is a mistake.
Twice is an issue.
Thrice is time to call judgment into question.
Four times, that’s a POLICY of lies.

Culture of corruption:

Blago-pay to play scandal-impeached
Richardson-pay to play scandal-withdraws
Rangel-Tax cheat under investigation
Geitner- Tax cheat confirmed
Daschle- Tax cheat withdraws
Killefer-Tac cheat withdraws

And now the husband to the labor sec-Tax cheat!

This is really fun to watch. His supporters sure aren’t getting what they paid for.

I'm wondering how his supporters are going feel after Obama passes the Big Porkulus bill and the tax revolt comes, and they all find out that the tax tit went dry.

They are all Democrats.

They always play the system. From the bottom to the top.
No matter how rich or how powerful.

It’s amazing isn’t it that the party that always wants to raise taxes never want to pay them...oh I forgot, its just for the common folk to comply.

I say the more tax cheats they put in the Government the less the credibility for the tax system altogether. Maybe we could get back to a volunteer system if we follow their lead.

bump-hopefully they will let this post stand.

I'm guessing they will as long as you brought enough popcorn for everybody.

Because this is getting kind of fun.
