Another Obama Appointee behind on Her Taxes - 16 Years Behind!
A conservative legal scholar says President Obama's nominee to be Labor Secretary may be the new Tom Daschle.You mean to tell me that the Obama administration has ethics standards? Who knew? How many Obama appointees have been caught not paying their taxes now? Four? Five? I can't keep up.
Hilda Solis - another 'taxing' embarrassment for Obama?
A conservative legal scholar says President Obama's nominee to be Labor Secretary may be the new Tom Daschle.
USA Today reports that the husband of Labor Secretary-nominee Hilda Solis settled more than $6,000 in tax liens Wednesday. The liens were outstanding for up to 16 years against his auto repair business. Solis listed the business on her House financial disclosure forms, as well as bank accounts totaling between a quarter-million and half-a million dollars.
Perhaps more damaging to her appointment, Solis appears to have violated several House ethics rules. The former California lawmaker failed to reveal on her financial disclosure forms that she was the treasurer and a member of the board of directors for an outside organization that was lobbying Congress in favor of card-check legislation that Ms. Solis was co-sponsoring in the House at the time.

Von Spakovsky says the slew of Obama administration appointees with tax troubles and lobbying ties indicates that the Obama White House has done a poor job vetting nominees and upholding its own ethics standards, and also shows that many liberal proponents of higher taxes have a problem with paying their own taxes.

As I am getting ready to work on my taxes this really galls me. Why should any of us pay our taxes? Well, the IRS does come to mind, but evidently it's been falling down on the job lately, since some of these people have gotten away with not paying all of their taxes for years! Biden says paying higher taxes is patriotic. I suppose he means that it's patriotic for us to pay higher taxes, and since it's a "patriotic" thing to do, that explains those Democrats who don't pay their taxes, doesn't it?
I'm tempted to not pay mine, but I'm afraid I know what the results would be.
