They could ask that idiot Harry Reid. He seems to think he knows everything about who has and hasn't paid tax. And if he doesn't know, he's good at just making s**t up.

You see this is why Democrats are so eager to raise taxes, they don’t pay them anyway!


36 Obama aides owe $833,970 in back taxes – media silent : Fire Andrea Mitchell!
It's only cheating if you get caught.
I hope they never pay it but instead spend it all. Our economy can use a boost.

The program incorporates the purpose and intent of Office of Government Ethics regulation 5 C.F.R.2635.809, which addresses the responsibility of federal employees to "satisfy in good faith their obligations as citizens, including all just financial obligations, especially those such as federal, state or local taxes that are imposed by law."
So these reports have been issued since the Clinton administration, inclusive of all 8 years of the Bush administration, and suddenly these delinquencies are Obama's fault, or the exclusive domain of people in the Obama administration?

Do you have any idea how utterly ridiculous that is?

So yeah, some of us have a real problem with the invention of fake outrages to pin on President Obama by people who are simply anti-Obama and not pro-facts or common sense.
Misdirected response since I was not referring to the Great One, but those who worship at his throne.

Taxes aren't for them -- they are the liberal elite, taxes are for the little people.

These people have been caught and I don't think we will see the IRS doing anything soon.

I'm kind of insulted that someone would think that just because I voted for Obama (as the lesser of two evils), that somehow translates into me thinking it's OK for Democrats to cheat on their taxes.

And some people are just pro Obama and not pro facts or common sense.
Please post a link to anyone in this thread defending tax cheats.

Facts and common sense are not supported by the OP.

Plan on feeling insulted a lot around here, then.
