[an amused spectator]

We still have the Secretary of the Treasury(a tax cheat in charge of the IRS)

Yep. And as long as they don't prosecute Tommy Taxcheat, we're still in REAL good shape. :-)

Free Wesley Snipes!

"Wow... Tom Daschole has some honor. "

No, he just realized that he didn't have a chance.

NEVER FORGET

.

Democrat DASCHLE’s “suddenly found” expensive income tax evasions weren’t the only timely things that occurred in June 2008.

Democrat Sen. SCHUMER also called on the people of California to make a run on a California bank, leading to a massive run on banks across the country during a Presidential Election that sought “change.”

Despite the historic horrid bank-running example we supposedly all learned from that had led directly to America’s Great Depression.

For...
...the Enemy is now within
...and always has been.

NEVER FORGET

“Wasn’t Capone finally nailed for tax evasion?”

correctomundo...

Although I would like to see the IRS eliminated and the income tax replaced with a national sales tax which would be more democratic since HALF the American population pay NO federal income tax.

My Daddy used to tell me that sometimes the man upstairs uses the wicked to expose and destroy the wicked.

They cooperate not to serve God's purposes, but to serve their own vain ambitions.

I hope it comes, more scandal please.

The Obama administration was forced to lower its own diversity quota for tax cheats.

Yahoo, there is much rejoicing!

The first chinks in the Obama administration armor are starting to appear.

PING for great graphic - The TaxCheaters Administration.

[WOSG]

“I’m very surprised....he would have been confirmed. Must have been a desire to avoid the questioning during hearings. “

They didnt want us calling this the TaxCheater Administration.

Geitner got the only ‘get out of jail free’ card for violating tax laws.

That’s fine, we will do so anyway.

[Coleus]

Daschle Withdraws

[ExSES]

Wow... Tom Daschole has some honor.

Probably just doing so to avoid disclosure of even greater ethical problems!

[4Liberty]

Are ANY of these Dems compliant with various laws?

[pnh102]

I still think that if Daschole had wanted to, he could have stuck this out and been confirmed, given how spineless the Senate GOP is. While I don't agree with his politics and I think he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for not paying the same tax that we are all subject to, I do think he did the right thing by withdrawing, regardless of his other tax liabilities and other issues.

That being said, I hope the IRS throws the book at him and Tim Geithner as well.

According to Biden: Obama Cabinet Most “Unpatriotic” In History

With the withdrawals today of two more Obama cabinet nominees, both because of failure to properly file and pay their taxes, some additional light is shed on VP Joe Biden’s campaign pronouncement that it’s “patriotic” to pay taxes.

On Sept 8th, Joe Biden called for higher taxes on the “wealthy,” saying that it was the “patriotic thing to do.”

“We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people,” Biden said in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden said: “It’s time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut.”
