Thread: Why aren't these Dems Obama nominates paying their taxes?

Daschle paid some intrest but what about penalties. Rangel and and Geihtner did not pay intrest or penalties....Will we the public get the same consideration!!!!!!!!!!

Because as they put it in a news interview " We won, deal with it" I guess CHANGE did not apply to DEM,s because it seems like Business as usual. One set of laws for us and none for them! Screw the American tax payers we need more $$$ you figure out how to live on less.

too bad the cabinet isn't bigger....we might get a balanced budget from all those back taxes being paid.

Maybe for the same reasons that Sarah Palin 'forgot' to pay hundreds of thousands of tax dollars too . . and how John McCain didn't bother to pay four years of taxes on his ocean front California home . . things like that, you know . . geesh . . shall we now examine the $15 million dollar tax free windfall that George W Bush got from selling the Texas Rangers baseball team . .or GWB and the insider Harkin stocks and tax evasion stemming from this ex-President. You people need to do some research on your own party . .because you are totally clueless.Palin Owes $25,000 In Back Taxeshttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/07/experts-palin-owes-25000_n_132538.htmlMcCain Pays back Taxeshttp://www.newsweek.com/id/143775/Please explain to me what the difference is between Palin and McCain or Daschle . . . other than party . . you are being hypocritical when you pass judgements especially when plenty of factual evidence exists that top Republicans have just as many defaulting or reporting tax errors as anyone else.

The tax issues that are being revealed are not exactly common tax problems. I think many people in higher income brackets would have some difficulty if their incomes taxes were being scrutinized as closely as those of these individuals. Also, remember the controversy over the Bush White House's refusal to allow access to Chief Justice John Roberts' tax returns? The weak areas as far as concerns some of these political nominees, past and present, seems to be taxes and nannies.

You forgot Kennedy, she backed out to avoid investigation. Never paid employment tax.
