This just in . . .
"A Senate committee today abruptly canceled a session to consider President Obama's nomination of Rep. Hilda Solis to be labor secretary in the wake of a report saying that her husband yesterday paid about $6,400 to settle tax liens against his business -- liens that had been outstanding for as long as 16 years."
I didn't make this up. You can find the story in The LA Times, Boston Globe, USA Today, etc.
I wonder how many more prospective Cabinet members will be found to have broken the law. Paying taxes is the law, you know. And I suspect Caroline Kennedy has some tax secrets, too, which caused her to withdraw from that nice NY Senate appointment.
My daughter Ann asks, "Who are these people?"
They're the people running the government, and they consistently vote against tax cuts, by the way. But, apparently, they think their own taxes are too much, so they just don't pay them. Not an alternative for you and me.
I'm thinking this nasty tax business being laid out for public scrutiny has many "public servants" frantically checking with their CPAs.
And, really, don't you think it's about time someone over there on the left should be saying something like, "This whole tax issue is just part of a 'vast right-wing conspiracy'"? (Remember that one?)
Do you think Obama pays his taxes?
