Does this administration ever check anyone out?????

Daschle has been lobbying since the day he lost re-election. Now he gets a cabinet post, and OOPS ....." I made an hones mistake and didn't pay $125,000.00 in taxes...."

YOu and I would be levyed, lose our house and car over that much money.....and with penalties and interest , he likely owes..$400,000.00 now....

I shudder to think that we have three years and 11 months more of this sham ..............

Worse. They don't care. This is the kind of stuff they were hoping to find in Bush's administration. Instead, they fought and humiliated his appointments tooth and nail. This stuff gets dismissed as a simple error or casually overlooked -- human error. THey'll get confirmed and go on like nothing happened.

I'd be surprised if he did not get a second term (if the Republic survives that long). What with the MTV voters and all, voting on looks and catch-phrases, and not on record.

Look at how Sarah Palin's mayoral and gubernatorial record was so casually dismissed. They completely ignored the truth that Hugo Grotius pointed out so well, “A man cannot govern a nation if he cannot govern a city; he cannot govern a city if he cannot govern a family; he cannot govern a family unless he can govern himself; and he cannot govern himself unless his passions are subject to reason.”

Careful bibleguy....you may get censored on here.....you are making way too much sense.

Some may feel that you are being dis-respectful of "Our" president and his policies....

Daschle out. I guess the news about the other lady withdrawing over a $900 tax lien was too much of a case of straining at gnats to swallow Daschle's $125,000 camel.

Personally, and I know I'll catch it for this, I don't care if they all don't pay their taxes. Self-activate your tax cuts! :lol:

Confirm 'em all! :lol:

Libertarians Unite!!! :lol:

I bestow upon him all of the HONOR due him as the President of the U.S.A. (a tremendous amount, I might add)

RESPECT, however, I will reserve for those who earn it.

I RESPECT his right to make decisions, whether or not I agree with them, but that is the respect the CONSTITUTION has earned, not the president.

The other day, I was on the phone with the phone company. I actually thanked them from itemizing all of the taxes. I wish they would do away with the income tax witholding (and all employer matching amounts) and give everyone all of their money, then require all to pay their complete tax burden, including FICA (twice the amount witheld). Also, itemize every tax line item at every level, on every receipt: gas, food, utilities, everything.

Once the American public realized the gargantuan tax burden we all bear, there would be a new American revolution. They say that we work til May or something to pay all of the taxes, I would not be surprised to find out that it is much later.

I don't know what is more amazing: that we pay so much of our income in taxes, or that we can live on the little that is left.

Sadly less that 50% even pay taxes now. Why revolt if you are getting a check instead of paying.

Just how much more room is there under the Obama Bus Lines?

It was what was uncovered by the New York Times. Read the editorial they wrote about him this morning. The tax issue was light weight chatter compared to his insider ties to the medical industrial complex. He couldn't have reformed anything.

Obama is proving to be a joke. I watched the press briefing today and Gibbs dodged so many questions. I hope this stimulus bill sinks as well. The Obama Admin. is saying their ethics are higher than previous admins. WHAT! On the surface we have found how many tax dodgers so far?

One Congressman said every American that owes tax need just write "Rangel Rule" on their return and the IRS should turn a blind eye. I say AMEN!
