The one thing you can count on with the left is, they are usually wrong.

On one side I am not surprised that democrats support child prostitution, on the other hand I just can't believe that anyone can be that evil a person. I guess I just don't want to believe that people are really that evil.


No, it doesn't surprise me in the least. And they wonder why they are compared to socialists, fascist and communist.

Certainly not American.

Officials with the controversial community organizing group ACORN were secretly videotaped offering to assist two individuals posing as a pimp and a prostitute, encouraging them to lie to the Internal Revenue Service and providing guidance on how to claim underage girls from South America as dependents.

Those were Acorn Officials? Not.

That's like calling a policeman, meter reader or trash collector a government official. They are low level workers (on many fronts) who happen to work for acorn.

And when do "Pimps" & "Hookers" file taxes? About as good of chance of that happening as someone claiming their tips or paying sales tax on your ebay purchase.

Remember, the 250 billion lost in unpaid taxes each year, isn't only being hidden by those from one side of the political equation.

Yet, one out of every 4 Americans cheat on their taxes to some degree. Many small business owners have contractors do work at their homes but have them bill the company, where it's then counted as a deductable expense.

There are over 50,000 nonfilers each year that have incomes over $100,000.

While some do make errors on their taxes, they tend just to have a single error, for a small amount, usually repeated, rather then different methods each tax filling season covering different large deductions or omissions.

Save your outrage for a corporate accounting cheat, who rakes in millions in untaxed income in to their own pocket.

Pimps and hookers would have to file taxes if they are trying to get government funding for a house or business. They would also have to legitimize that income, calling it 'recreational services' instead of prostitution. Of course if they tell the ACORN worker they earn $96,000 they don't qualify for funding so the ACORN worker was going to fudge the numbers down to $9600. Given that the ACORN workers didn't hesitate or even blink it's reasonable to assume they have committed such crimes previously. There was no question "Let me ask my supervisor about that." or "I'm not sure, we've never done this type of thing before." Maybe they weren't in charge of the office (we don't know their official capacity) but they clearly had the authority to do what they were doing and it wasn't their first time.
