The vetter was never vetted?

Who’s responsible for vetting the vetter?

Liberals have no values and thus nothing to be held accountable for.

Because conservatives have values their shortcomings are thrown in their face, each time they fall short.

We want every one of these high-profile Democrat “power couples” to pay their “fair share” of BO’s new tax vendetta on families with $250K income...particularly since it seems they weren’t paying taxes when all the rest of us were. They should be socked with interest and penalties just like those that we tax drones would be assessed had we been tax cheats all these years.

I won’t print what I’m thinking since it’s expletive laden.

What I really love about the recent democrat “shortcomings” is that they are pushing a debt on all of us that requires our cooperation with tax law.

It seems that in order to participate in the Obama administration you really need to have neglected your duty as a taxpayer.

You couldn’t ask for a better recipe for a tax revolt.

That person went to vetter prison.

It is too bad that this article did not trigger a debate on the complexity and obscurity of the local laws which require that anybody who works from home has to purchase a license from the municipality in order to be legal.

I can understand the local desire to regulate businesses, in examples like a gravel truck company operating out of a house, providing housing arrangements for illegal aliens, etc., but the irony of big government types tripping over big government rules is so... ironical.

Since paying taxes is considered patriotic, it’s perfectly understandable why the left does not pay their own taxes.

it is delicious isn’t it?

An opportunity for the repubs to make a point and diplay a sense of humor as well...
Approach the president and say “Mr. President, clearly the tax laws are so complex that even the BEST people of your choosing are tripping over them.
Could’t we agree to revamp the code so your friends will no longer be tax cheats Mr. President?”

The fact that America needs a specialty stamp designer is indicative of the times.

Of course not - as Carley pointed out, paying taxes is patriotic.

The lead singer of Pearl Jam is pissed that his name keeps coming up in all of this.

Good old Chicago Style deep dish politics.. I lived there and know it well. Easier to find a virgin in a whorehouse than an honest politician.

Oh does it never end! LOL If you are one of the worker bee’s do this and see what happens to you. It’s called JAIL and CONFINSCATION of everything you own. All at the whim of a Kangaroo court that the IRS has.
