Daschles Buy Two Million Dollar Home, But No Tax Cut for You

Senator Tom Daschle and his wife, big money airline lobbyist Linda Daschle, have just purchased a seven-room house valued at $2,250,000 in DC. (Tom says he paid a humble $1.9m.) Not bad for a public servant who earns around $170,000 a year. It makes you realize why the pair doesn't release their income tax reports.

Tom & Lin have a huge pool of money in the bank even as they're pushing taxes on that which would help you accumulate wealth: income. I guess Linda is doing pretty well lobbying the government to give out money to the airlines even as they're losing billions, declaring bankruptcy, firing workers and demanding employee give backs. I don't begrudge anyone buying a nice house - and that's the point: the Democrats do.

They don't want you getting yours even as they lavish millions on luxury. Your tax bill can never go down so you can put a little money away, because Daschle knows how to spend your money better than you do. There's no tax on the wealth of Democrats like John Kerry ($675 million), but there is a tax on wealth creation: the income tax. The Democrats don't want you creating your own wealth.

They want you poor and dependent and looking to the government when you need to buy a house, etc. It's sad to say but it's true. The way they've set it up, there is never a time for tax cuts. When there's a surplus, they say we can't "waste it" on tax cuts for people whose overpayment of taxes caused the surplus. When there's a deficit, they say the government can't "afford" to do with less so America's families will just have to tighten their belts. It's hypocrisy, and we're here to say so.

Not bad, presumably their main home is in South Dakota. Which would make this is their second home. They must have quite a spread in South Dakota.

I am hoping the he is shipped back to South Dakota after the next election. Run out on a rail would be ok too.

A seven room house for 2.25MM? Sounds like a rip off to me. Must be next to Hillary's home. This will not play well for him. Makes me wonder if he has given up hopes of reelection and is becoming a perm DC resident.

A little snippet from the Rapid City Journal...... 5/10/03

What's Sen. Daschle trying to hide?
By Robert Regier, executive director of Rushmore Policy Council.

SIOUX FALLS - Is Sen. Tom Daschle trying to hide something? When recent reports - premature as they were - came out about a potential issue ad campaign highlighting Sen. Daschle's liberal record, the Senate minority leader reacted harshly and quickly.

Just the mere suggestion that the Rushmore Policy Council might pull the curtain open to expose the window to his political soul had him unleashing the attack dogs within days. A "Special Alert" from Daschle's office urged his supporters to go out on the attack. "Send money." "Write letters to the editor." "Call talk radio." "Stand up to the extreme groups," the alert pleaded.

The elitists that want our adoration and votes. They want to control our lives and look over us. They want to impose sanctions on behavior outside of what THEY think is negitive. You will live in a home that is worth 50K while we live in a 2M dollar house. Why, because we are better than you. You will give the government (read me, the elitist/socialist) 3/4ths of your hard earned income to fund the idealogy that they, the elitists, want. There will be no freedom, just slavery.

Didn't we fight this war in 1776? If they want the fight again, let's get it on.

What is astounding is there are still low and average income people in the private sector, not in unions, who honestly think the Democrat party is the party of the working stiff.
