Your new tax plan's going to tax me more, isn't it?"[6] ABC News reported on October 16 that there is a judgement lien against Wurzelbacher for non-payment of $1,182 in income taxes dating to January 2007, but "no action has been taken against him outside of filing the lien." Barb Losie, deputy clerk of the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas, said that "there is a 99 percent chance [Wurzelbacher] doesn't know about the lien, unless he did a credit report or was ready to pay his taxes."[33] While on Hannity and Colmes, Wurzelbacher stated that he was unaware of the tax lien prior to it being reported in the press, and felt he was being attacked because of his question of Obama.[34]
