Obama's Cabinet Of Corruption (Do Democrats EVER Pay Taxes?)
    #9727783 -

First Tim Geithner. Now Tom Daschle? Who’s Obama’s next cabinet pick - Wesley Snipes? Dianne Wilkerson?

Not to upset the loyal O-Bots out there, but the last guy from Chicago to have this much income tax trouble was Al Capone. And at last report, he still had an outside shot at getting Commerce secretary.

President Obama pledged to change Washington, and he has. Before Obama, tax cheats used to lose jobs.

Conservative academic Victor Davis Hanson calls the choice of Daschle the “Rezkozation” of the Obama administration. Tony Rezko, you may recall, was the bagman who bankrolled part of Obama’s political career. He’s also a felon.

Amazingly enough, therefore, he hasn’t been tapped to serve in the Obama administration. Yet.

Hanson also points out that Daschle is a “threefer”: a tax cheat, a $5 million-dollar lobbyist (Daschle called himself a “strategist”) and a populist hypocrite to boot.

To paraphrase Dean Wormer from “Animal House,” “Inept, corrupt and elitist is no way to go through life, Tom.” But it’s a great way to get a job from Barack Obama.

Try to imagine Bill Clinton or George Bush getting away with picking a Treasury secretary who didn’t pay his own taxes and then accepted reimbursement for taxes he didn’t pay.

But to follow up one tax cheat with a nominee who skipped on $140,000 in taxes - particularly a former Senate majority leader who wrote the same tax laws he now claims he doesn’t understand - is unimaginable.

Obama pledged there would be “no lobbyists” in his administration. But Daschle earned millions working for lobbying firms like Alston & Bird, and specifically received $220,000 from health-care companies. He “forgot” to report $83,000 in income entirely. Now Daschle’s the “Hope and Change” pick to oversee the health-care industry?

The people are figuring out what “change” really means. It means a “stimulus” bill that Obama says contains no earmarks has money for a Frisbee golf course in Texas. It means a trillion-dollar boondoggle that, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll, most Americans believe will either have little impact on their finances or actually make things worse.

Six more months of this, and Americans won’t just be hoping for change. We’ll be desperate for it.

The first tax cheat wants to be in charge to the IRS and the second tax cheat wants to be in charge of Medicare when he didn't pay Medicare taxes.....



Make no mistake. Tax cheaters cheat us all. The IRS should enforce our laws to the letter."

This is what happens when you put a retard in charge of the store.  Sure, he can stack shelves but can he hire?  Don't forget Hillary!  The ever swirling NYTimes had something the other day regarding international concerns about Barry's protectionist bent.  Well, duh, it's in the crap sandwich bill.  1/20/12 People.  Unless we can get something sooner.

Daschle Is Out!!!!!


On Fox News now.

"Let's review the super awesome start of this new and most ethical administration evah! Bill Richardson, out over a federal indictment. Daschle and Killefer out over taxes. Geithner squeaks by with his tax problem. And let's not forget the waivers for all the lobbyists that Obama said he wouldn't have to begin with.

In case you missed it, that was a list posted to illustrate the succession to the Presidency should something unfortunate happen, NOT a list of people I think are unqualified for their positions.  Now I ask you all, "How far down the list do you have to go before you don't puke?"

taxes are illegal.  the only thing that is supposed to be taxed is corporate profits or things that people vote to be taxed, but you have the option to choose, like cigarettes, alcohol, etc, not motha fuckin income!  the government are thieves, once again.  it's all right there folks.  there are no laws requiring you to pay federal or state income taxes.  why can they arrest you for it then?  IT'S A SCAM!  how did the country function before 1913 when the IRS was started?

Republicans don't want taxes, and Dems won't pay them...hmmmmmm. Im neither a dem nor Republican, but more a progressive radical. For the few of you who may be reading this who actually know what true socialism is,,, You know a Socialist Democracy is the closet thing to Eutopia. That is what I believe in.. Free Market is nice and all, but at what cost.. When 90 percent of the wealth, lies in the hands of 2 percent of the people. When 100's of thousands of families are without health care, and many more with out suffienct health care. When our schools are among the worst, even by third world standards. hmmmmmm.:(
