All things taxes
Darn!!. As an honest tax-payer, I am preparing my 2008 taxes returns this week.
This means that I don't qualify for a seat in the Obama administration.
(And I sure wish that I earned enough to owe $120,000 in taxes) I would be the happiest blogger alive if my income resulted in $120,000 of taxes, and I would smile broader than a kid in a Lindts chocolate store as I spent the "After Tax" heap of dough.
Why do politicians believe that they are exempt from paying taxes? Just because you have a government job at the highest level, you don't have to follow the rules like the honest people that you are supposed to be serving? How can a dishonest politician make judgement calls on "Stimulus packages", when they are not accountable for the results, and don't have to pay taxes to fund it?
I say "Throw them out". Every politician that is found guilty of owing taxes should be thrown out of the administration in disgrace. And then forced to pay taxes, like the rest of us.
