LMAO.

What is this? Number 5 or something?
Apparently no one wants to work for Obama in the financial industry. Imagine that.

Over the history of American presidential administrations has there ever been a more chaotic transition? This is nuts!

Perhaps Mr. Cohen failed to pass the right amount of money under the table to Obammie.

Perhaps he ACTUALLY PAID his IRS taxes as opposed to his would be boss.

Perhaps Mr. Cohen was actually a decent stand up guy who looked at a career ending job and said...

AW HELL NO!

I don’t know anything about him, but Larry Kudlow was in favor citing his industry experience dealing with financial institutions. Seems, no one wants to be apart of this mess. History will not look kindly on biggest expansion of government.

It seems folks are backing down from being an active conspirator in the Obama Marxist takeover of the US.

Maybe 300 million pissed off people ruins their dinner.

Look folks, there is no denying that they are going to create abject misery in the near future.

It is just intolerable.

What was Obama doing when he was coming out making out those speeches with the goofy “Office of the President-Elect” podium? Or was that, like everything else that we seem to get from this President, just an act to make it look like he was doing something?

No doubt Jon F’n Cery will claim this is a Republican conspiracy.

Communists want the little people to pay taxes.

I read that BO has his money in tax free municipal bonds. No market risk for him. No taxes to pay on that money he got for supposedly writing a couple of books about himself

Turbo Tax claims another victim

I changed to TaxACT last year. No mistakes from when I used TurboTax for 5-6 years, but they want way too much from small preparers for their professional version. For what I would have paid in license fees alone (plus another $15-25 per return), I was able to buy the 1040, 1120, & 1165 modules from TaxAct for the same price with unlimited usage.

Saved myself about $700 last year. Actually, I didn't save squat--wifey "reallocated" those savings.

Sorry to stray off topic.
