Ron Dellums, who earns about $184,000 as Oakland mayor on top of a congressional pension, appears to owe the Internal Revenue Service at least $66,554. A lien has been placed against his property for failing to pay taxes for 2006. According to the East Bay Express, which broke the story, Mayor Dellums and his wife, who file jointly, may owe more than $239,000 in taxes, mostly for the years he worked as a lobbyist in Washington, DC.

Ron "Red" Dellums is the ultimate tax & spend liberal. OTHER people pay the taxes, and he spends.

Since there isn’t a letter next to his name, would that mean he is a Democrat?

Can't qualify as a democrat without owing taxes, and having at least one ethics charge pending.

Dellums: I bet I wouldn’t have to pay that money if I was white.

Just another story the national MSM will not cover.

Were he a Republican it’d be news 24/7.

So what cabinet post is he being considered for?

Is dat "Grady" from Sanford and Son?

A left-wing brother from Kalifornia who owes THOUSANDS in taxes?

Is the brother running for CON-gress as a libdem, or is he vying for a position in the RAT-infested Hussein admin?

He is supremely qualified for either corrupt/inept position.

“It’s criminal that we turn a blind eye to poverty. The solutions are multidimensional. You have to deal with health care, housing, jobs, education, crime and social justice. Ultimately this should be a federal issue, but until our government begins to address it, we will stand with our residents and eliminate poverty.” - Ron Dellums

Who eliminated his own poverty by not paying his taxes. It’s up to the rest of us to pay for his proposed social solutions.

Maybe he can get his pals Castro and Ortega to pay for it.

What’s funny is that if he tried this in Cuba Castro would have him shot.
