. Failure to report more than $2,800,000 of consulting income also does not pass the smell test.

But perhaps the most instructive element of Mr. Dasschole’s tax dodging is that it reveals how the political culture in Washington is fundamentally corrupt. As a senator, he constantly voted to expand the size and scope of government, and he expected the rest of us to pay the bills, stating in 1998 that, “the I.R.S. should enforce our laws to the letter.” Yet like Treasury Secretary Geithner and Charles Rangel, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Mr. Daschle viewed compliance as optional.

Unlike ordinary Americans, Mr. Dasschole and other members of the political class will not have to worry about being harassed by the I.R.S. Washington insiders have a get-out-of-jail-free card that enables them to feign embarrassment, pay the back taxes and interest, but avoid any penalties or legal consequences. Best of all, they also can generate campaign contributions while in office and become rich out of office by making the tax code even more onerous for the rest of us.

Nice work if you can get it.

husseinflopNOBAMA is totally worthless. He/she/it thinks he/she/it is fit to lick Obama's shoes and he/she/it is not even close.

The racist piglets are coming out of the gutters they live in as they are unemployed and have nothing else to do.

tax cheater government: Only a few hours earlier, the president’s chief White House performance officer withdrew her name from consideration after citing concerns over unpaid unemployment taxes in the District of Columbia. That nominee, Nancy Killefer, said her confirmation would create a “distraction” and delay the urgent agenda facing the administration.
