I think he looks a lot like Jon Stewart in that shot, smirky/finger—
TRUE OR FALSE? Rahm Emanuel and his family apparently live tax-free in a Chicago manse that is owned by "The Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Foundation."
According to the Cook County Assessor’s website, the Chicago home of four-term Democrat Congressman and White House COS, Rahm Emanuel, doesn’t exist........there seems to be no public record of Emanuel ever paying property taxes on this home.
Here's the Chicago tax assessor on the topic: "Rahm Emanuel’s house being tax exempt is wholly inaccurate. Rep. Emanuel’s house in on the tax rolls, and he and Ms. Rule have paid the taxes on it. The Emanuel house sits on two lots. For tax purposes, the property is listed as 4232 N. Hermitage Ave. The PIN is 14-18-408-035-0000. As you can see, 4232 N. Hermitage came up as one of the addresses when you searched Emanuel’s block on our web site. 4228 N. Hermitage is listed as the mailing address on the tax records-----it is not at all uncommon for addresses to be merged for properties on two lots. According to the Cook County Treasurer’s web site, Emanuel and his wife paid $13,022.60 in property taxes this year." Sincerely, Eric W. Herman Director of Communications Cook County Assessor's Office

KEEP IN MIND The Chicago county assessor is a high- ranking Democrat Party operative, and is surely biased.
This same assessor once carried the palatial home of Democrat Cong Luis Guiterrez on the tax rolls as a vacant lot and argued once the story was publicized that Guiterrez should not be penalized for a "clerical error" ....this was after Guiterrez paid minimal taxes for years and years, b/c Guiterrez' palatial home was listed as a vacant lot.
Rahm has two lots and pays the freight on a single bill and gets a tax break loophole that most of us would never be allowed and now the assessor tells us to be happy that multi-millionaire and Freddie Mac swiller Rahm Emanuel pays anything.
City and county Chicago governments are run by corrupt Dem machines for years, it's hardly surprising that Emmanuel managed to pulled off his "charitable organization" stunt successfully....then got a "clarification"
BTW, was Rahm's tax check backdated?
The "Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Trust" was formed in 2002, when Rahm was first elected to Congress.

REFERENCE The IRS has reported that tax-exempt “foundations and charities” are the locus classicus for tax evasion and money laundering. The "Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Trust" was formed in 2002, when Rahm was first elected to Congress.
