Seventeen years. Did he pay them or did somebody else pay them. He seems to have had others paying his way for him.
It must really be tough being an elitist.
But Im probly too stupid to fully comprehend its depth.
Guess I’ll just be a plumber instead.
Why didn’t I hear this in the msm? Oh, they ran the story on a some poor plumber, a normal guy not running for office, who owes some back taxes instead. Glad they got their priorities straight.
This country has gone totally nuts.
Laws are intended only for mere mortals.
Bwahahahahahaha! And they’re complaining about Joe the Plumber’s tax lien. Phonies. Hypocrites. Charlatans.
No matter the color of the skin, ANYONE who behaves like that is an uppity....
“It is patriotic to get parking tickets and not pay them for 17 years.” The main stream media
What State was the vehicle tagged in? What State did he claim residency in at the time?
bttt
Even if he'd paid the parking tickets promptly, the fact that he accumulated so many of them says loud and clear that he felt that the laws didn't apply to him. The mindset that paying fines excuses offenses is just wrong. Every time he parked illegally (whether an expired meter or parking in a no-parking zone), even if he had promptly paid the fines, he was inconveniencing someone else.
The fact that he didn't pay his fines until it became a political necessity to do so compounds the offenses.
Appendix D (at the very end of the PDF) is fascinating. There's a 1st late fee, a 2nd late fee, and a 3rd late fee for each violation. As of March 28, 2008 (The One's servant paid the "fines" in January 2008, apparently), the 1st late fee was $10.00, the 2nd late fee was $20.00, and the 3rd late fee was $40.00. Per violation.
So, knock off half each for ancient days, and you're still looking at $50.00 a crack per violation [$15.00 for the initial, $5.00 first late fee, $10.00 for second late fee and $20.00 for third late fee]. That's only about 8 violations - and that's if the local gendarmes don't get bent out of shape at you flipping them off for 17 years.
Something smells REAL ripe here.
While the Mediascum are so busy going over Joe the Plumber’s kindergarten records you’d think they might find a little time to scrutinize everything about the PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE Barack Obama.
Believe it or not this really is a reflection on the character of Obama.
Somerville can thank “Joe the Plumber”....;)
Thugocracy.
Let's say $25 in late fees per violation, times 17 violations. The late fees for the 17 violations come out to $425 - $25 more than reported total. Apparently, Cambridge was PAYING people to commit parking violations - in Obama's case, a negative $25.00.
Seven for eight is a pretty good batting average!
How did he graduate with unpaid parking tickets?
