Honest mistakes, all of them, no doubt.

If the President had an (R) next to his name, however, they would all be tax-dodging scoundrels, who aren't paying their fair share because they want to see children living on the frozen streets and elderly people surviving on cat food.

So you're admitting your boy and his band of merrymen are despicable and no longer worthy of your defense. Thanks.

So how much should they owe in taxes to trigger your concern?

As a former hard-core supporter of Obama, I have a hard time believing that these are honest mistakes. Thievery does not discriminate. Fraud does not have a specific direction. These things happen simultaneously and 'all over the board'. Effective SOLUTIONS/INCENTIVES need to be discovered to bring it to a minimum.

We need a 'Party United'. Not (R), (D), (I) or otherwise. This IS supposed to be 'The UNITED States of America. Is it not?

Um, why would anyone defend it? Everyone should pay their taxes.

Also, there's already a thread on this somewhere.
