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

That's a bumper sticker right there.

People get really po’d when they see these people getting away with flaunting laws that they live in fear of.

Some of us Freepers apparently don't comprehend the political gift that's been literally handed to us.

I don't want to hear any whining out of the Minnesotan Freepers when they get stuck with Al Franken.

They've got a week's window where they could take him out like yesterday's garbage.

This is a huge, resonating issue, and it’s during tax season.

LOL! Usually, the shoe is on the other foot, and the IRS is dropping a Big Name Prosecution Bomb just before tax time.

Now, th IRS has Obama's Klown Kar Express driving through their offices in February!

Wonder if the O is gonna have to hang one of these perps?

Obama is shaping up to be more corrupt than the Clintons.

Hard to believe that’s possible.

Links to USA Today and other Gannet Publications are fine per Jim Robinson:

05/06/04 -

Received another letter from Gannett Publications, publisher of USAToday, and several other newspapers. Due to contractual arrangements they have with third-party content providers, they have denied our request to allow posting of excerpts. They will only allow the posting of titles and links.

Please do not post full text or even excerpts from the following Gannett Web sites:

Thanks, CedarDave! I checked all over that thread (1111944), but there was some sort of indeterminate update near the end.

I thought that I saw something about Gannett on another thread recently.

It’s on the adminmoderator’s home page so it should be the definitive authority:

Seven in a row, and no doubt there are far more of them out there.

Seems to be a Democrat disease ~ talk big about the patriotic duty of other Americans to pay high taxes and then they just walk away from their own obligations.

Anyone heard Joe Biden's comments on this? Next press conference someone should be there to ask him.

I doubt that you can link to McStingyPaper downthread, either.

I believe you can both link and excerpt:

All McClatchy sources must be excerpted and linked.

I think 15 tax liens IS a big deal. To me, it shows a pattern of intentional nonpayment, not a mistake nor an oversight.

If it is patriotic to pay your taxes, it must be treasonous to be a tax cheat. IIRC, treason is one of the few things specified for which you can be impeached. Now I ask, how can a man remain president when his cabinet is teaming with treasonous vermin?

There ARE words. Unfortunately most of them are in George Carlin's list.

I have a good friend who works on installment agreements for the IRS (she’s the one who processes the applications and figures out the payments etc) and says the phone people will be found curled up in corners whimpering.

She also said you screw up even something minor you can’t work for the IRS. She and her husband have a professional do theirs every year even though they both work for the IRS.
