Democrats: the Tax Cheat and Spent Party.

[OldMissileer]

Why should we expect anything different from Democrats?

This piece of trash got away with the tax scam on that property sale when he was still in Congress. Why should he pay taxes now?

The true Communist flavor of the Democratic Party has been shown to the public for a few decades now and few people seem to care as the last election results show.

Can you imagine the uproar if Sarah Palin hadn’t paid her taxes? Sheesh.

[CPT Clay]

And that makes it better?

Jail time not a cabinet position.

What an insult to everyone of us who paying way too much in taxes, and getting stuck with dumba$$ porkulus and bailout BS.

I would imagine a some serious pain if the average citizen chose not to pay $120K! This POS and Geithner too are not above the law and should be suffering equivalently.

Way to go Obomber... you’ve hird tax cheats, what’s next?

Obama’s “most transparent administration in history” is like Clinton's “most ethical adminstration in history” — a bunch of B.S. The only thing transparent about Obama’s cabinet is that it's staffed with left wing tax cheats and lobbyists.

Aaahh Poor little Puff but he said he was sorry. It is this way if you are a RAT there is something Very wrong with you all that is needed is a close look.

Taxes are only for the little people.

[o_zarkman44]

Daschal is POS tax evader and needs to be made an example. Bad consequences rather than an example of rewards.

Prison and not position.
Obama should withdraw his nomination.

DemocRats think they are above the law and we need to start taking them out.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Paying taxes is for the little people.

[Tex Pete]

Huh.

Less than a month ago, I had to send the IRS a check for ~$700 for money they claimed I owed them, due to an accounting error.

It never dawned on me that I just could have said “I’m sorry.”

[popdonnelly]

No need to apologize, Tom. We know you D.C. elitists only care about yourselves, anyway. We’ll act accordingly.

[EDINVA]

This is sounding more and more like a Helmsley Administration.

[freekitty]

Apology not accepted.

Charitable contributions deducted "in error", discovered by the transition team. $250 grand in "car service" (must have been some car) HE ALREADY KNEW WAS TAXABLE AND INTENTIONALLY AVOIDED PAYING, and a "clerical error" resulting in $88 grand consulting income going unreported.

So for some perspective, in three years the guy has evaded taxes on more than seven times the US median household income - and that's just what we know about so far. The taxes avoided would have provided food and health care for 50 or 60 starving children for a year (the number who died of illness or starvation waiting for their share is unknown), or perhaps given badly needed raises in wages and benefits to the same number of union represented government employees </sarc on that last part just so ya know>. The hypocrisy.

I was happy to see him bumped out of the Senate by the good voters of South Dakota, but maybe the US Treasury would have been money ahead to just keep paying him.
