But think it is a great idea to tax everyone else? President Obama thus far has hired nothing but tax cheats, how interesting. The same people who like to take everyone else's money hate to part with their own. Conservatives do it too, but they don't hide it and make it known they don't like excessive taxes.

Have you forgotten the money Cindy McCain failed to pay for property taxes in California? Remember you do don't you?
Stuff happens to both parties.

All this “cheating” seems to be inattention not fraud. Until somebody is convicted in a Federal Court I cannot count it as a crime. Maybe these people should have hired better accountants? Maybe Obama should look for smart thoughtful people that did not dedicate their lives to making money?

Washington DC is filled with frauds that represent only themselves, and their fellow elites. Of course they don't pay taxes, they're a bunch of crooks who believe they are above the laws.

Isn't it funny that people make broad generalizations of a huge group of people based on one or two recent news stories?

I think tax accountants/preparers pride themselves on "saving" as much on their clients' taxes as possible. This competition drives them to make some sketchy decisions - for all types of clients - conservative, liberal, whatever. Have you seen their ads on TV?

Point made. However, if you need brain surgery, would you go to a brain surgeon who missed his yearly accreditation, but had a good reputation otherwise? I wouldn't. This is the problem with these picks. Having faith in these leaders is like having faith in hiring a convicted theif to come over and paint your bedroom while you were at work. If they can't keep their own affairs in order, how can they keep the affairs of the entire nation in order?
