Given Biden’s comments that it’s patriotic to pay taxes, it’s clear now that democrats are not patriotic.

[shankbear]

Don’t do as I do...do as I say do. Wait...isn’t the bassackwards? Obama thugspeak is already getting to me.

[Brilliant]

Why is it that Democrats only get busted for tax evasion when they get apponited to public office? Shouldn’t the IRS be taking them to the carpet all along?

[WHBates]

Mr. Daschle also didn’t report $83,333 in consulting income in 2007.

Picky, picky, picky can't they leave the poor guy alone, I'm sure there's a good explanation. After all there is a health crisis and he's the only one that can save us. LOL

[schu]

This is really absurd:

Rev Wright
Ayers
Who wrote his biography
Rezko
The Birth Cert
Blago
Timmy G
Lobbyists
Spending $150M on a party
Trillion $$ stimulus
Daschle

What is next?

[Logical me]

Is there anything new about RATS and do we think they will be any better for America. Liars, thugs, corrupt nitwits, etc.

[FreedBird]

The MSM will not cover much of this, just like Charlie Rangle or Dodd. The other tax cheat was confirmed as head of Treasury. Obama will provide shelter from the storm for all followers1

[ReleaseTheHounds]

How many more people will Obama nominate who either are too incompetent or too dishonest to declare all of their income and pay all of their taxes? Is this the new career track for tax cheats — a Cabinet office?

Lest we all forget, let me throw one more example into the pot.

Way back in the Whitewater scandal (remember Whitewater?), President and Mrs. Clinton benefited when Jim McDougal was finally beckoned to the White House (by cattle futures confidant and legal advisor, Jim Blair) to sign documents taking ownership of the Clinton's 50% ownership in the Partnership known as "Whitewater". In so doing, McDougal was relieving the Clinton's of loans outstanding and other tangible benefits that I'm sure were never acknowledged in their tax returns. Yes, I know, the statute of limitations is long since over -- but it's nice to know there's consistency in Obama's cabinet picks: we may have a majority now who have fraudulent tax return histories.

What was the carbon footprint on that thing?????

This administration is only 10 days old
and it is already the most corrupt in history.

It says something about Chicago democrats.

Aw pshaw all democrats from California to Maine

[freeangel]

What scandal would that be? Every one of 0’s nominees will be confirmed without much ado. I mean, it is expected that mostly crooks will be seated from the dem side and there’s nothing anyone would do about it because, as 0 said, “I won.”(I’m king!)

[stockstrader]

It’s just amazing how getting appointed to high office helps IMPROVE THE MEMORY of democrats,,,,,when it comes to taxes!!!

[stockstrader]

Of course, the MSM will do its best to minimize or trivialize this issue (just like they did with Geithner)...

while they were OUTRAGED at what was spent on Sarah Palin's clothes and her per diem records.

If it wasn't for double standards, liberals would have none.

[Riodacat]

Nobody here on FR would ever cheat on their taxes - no, not once!

[mvpel]

How many Americans make so much money that they could forget about $83,000 of it in a year?

Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore, John Kerry...

The Finance Committee staff still is reviewing whether travel and entertainment services provided Tom and Linda Daschle by EduCap, Inc., Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation, Academy Achievement, and Loan to Learn should be reported as income. Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Daschle made use of the jet belonging to EduCap, a non-profit student loan organization. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/01/more-daschle-ta.html

Obama knew of this as well as the tax issue Geithner faced.

Remember Obama's unprecedented lengths to screen with his application questioner:

NY TIMES-

For a Washington Job, Be Prepared to Tell All A seven-page questionnaire being sent by the office of President-elect Barack Obama to those seeking cabinet and other high-ranking posts may be the most extensive — some say invasive — application ever.

The questionnaire includes 63 requests for personal and professional records, some covering applicants’ spouses and grown children as well, that are forcing job-seekers to rummage from basements to attics, in shoe boxes, diaries and computer archives to document both their achievements and missteps.

Only the smallest details are excluded; traffic tickets carrying fines of less than $50 need not be reported, the application says. Applicants are asked whether they or anyone in their family owns a gun. They must include any e-mail that might embarrass the president-elect, along with any blog posts and links to their Facebook pages.

The application also asks applicants to “please list all aliases or ‘handles’ you have used to communicate on the Internet.”

It should be mandatory for all officials of government to be audited EVERY single year. Make the audits available to the public so we can see just how these scumbags avoid paying "their fair share".

BASTARDS!
