I don't like taxes either and I think they are way too high, but I work hard and pay every cent I owe. Not true for these crooked Democrats (and other crooked politicians). Maybe we need a new law that says you have to pay all your back taxes to get elected to Congress.

"...Among this long list of tax cheats, you will usually find a good-sized section dedicated to tax cheating politicians. By a margin of 18 to7, Democrats outnumber Republicans when it comes to tax problems.
Many of these tax cheating Democrats, by the way, were hired by this administration and many are Democrats who still have jobs because in the eyes of this administration, they did nothing wrong.They somehow escaped the wrath of wily Dirty Harry Reid or the fawning Obama media - something Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has not managed to do.

We all are familiar with the names. It started with Obama's appointee as Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. New York Rep. Charles Rangel, Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel and even the president himself thought it was a good idea to handout $1.4 billion taxpayer dollars to known tax cheats.
"Tax cheats were given $1.4 billion in government-backed mortgage loans under President Obama’s economic stimulus, and the government doled out at least an additional $27 million in tax credits to delinquents who took the first-time-homebuyer tax break, according to a recently released government audit."


These are your tax dollars being given out to tax cheaters under orders from the very same person who once said he would go over the federal budget line by line to weed out any waste. I guess $1.4 billion dollars going to known tax cheats is not waste.
Take Missouri's Democratic Sen. McCaskill, for instance. This is an elected Senator who owed close to $300,000 in back taxes due on her private plane.This is a person who has had tax issues going back three decades and always finds a way to blame someone else instead of taking repsonsibility. She blamed her brother for back taxes she owed on a property whe owned. She blamed a "complicated taxing scheme" for her $300,000 oversight and on top of this she was caught in a scandal using taxpayer dollars to fund her traveling fancies."

Liberals love taxes, they just don't like paying them

Let me give readers just the shorter version of this nonsense so you don't waste your time like I did.

OP found some Dems out of 300 Million Americans that got caught cheating on taxes.....Thus all "liberals" are hypocrites.

All of my income is reported on a W-2 form. There is no way I could cheat even if I wanted to which I don't.

The outrageously complicated tax systen is why I want it replace completely with one simple income tax.

Add up all income from all sources. (Businesses would use undistributed profits as income.)

Subtract an amount equal to the 90th percentile of all incomes plus the amount sent to support Social Security

Pay a fixed rate on all income above the deduction. Rate to be determined by size of federal budget.

This si simple and would get the job done even if it did create a crisis amongs the tax accountants and lawyers.

As a liberal, I dislike taxes, and, I dislike paying taxes, but it is inevitable when a LIBERAL or CONSERVATIVE OWNS AND RUNS A BUSINESS, like I did, we must all put something in the kitty. It's the LAW.

I'm actually surprised your title didn't say LIBERALS HATE TAXES.
Which only means one thing to me, CONSERVATIVES HATE TAXES, AND HATE PAYING TAXES TOO.
e.g. 10+ years of bush tax cuts for the job creators, WHERE ARE THE JOBS MAN?

The Bush Tax cuts were not designed to create jobs but to enhance speculation. They did that very well.

Oprah claims one of her much smaller homes as her primary residence to avoid paying taxes on her $50+ million mansion in California. Many celebrities who have supported higher taxes on the wealthy flat out avoid paying higher taxes themselves.

Even studios in Hollywood, who constantly attacks big oil for their "special tax breaks and handouts", claim over $100 million in tax breaks themselves by using the same tactics they criticize others for using.

Do you realize that this:
it is inevitable when a LIBERAL or CONSERVATIVE OWNS AND RUNS A BUSINESS,

Does not go with this?
years of bush tax cuts for the job creators, WHERE ARE THE JOBS MAN?

Too bad I am not really neocon because it would be easy picking like an apple branch swung low in my lap.
